Three 6 Mafia - Mystic Stylez
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers
Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
Game - The R.E.D. Album (or Documentary)

[Weezy MVP]

Aaliyah - Aaliyah (the GOAT album, any genre, my opinion)
Daft Punk - Discovery (flawless)
Dr. Dre - The Chronic 2001 (timeless)
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP (the wordplay, the delivery, the passion, I could go on and on)
Gorillaz - Gorillaz (just awesome)
Nas - Illmatic (legendary)
N*E*R*D - In Search Of... (just listen to it)
The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde (insane)
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory (a classic - if you consider yourself a hip hop fan and you ignore this group - please GTFO)
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) - (no explanation. it's a must listen)

I consider these essential. If you haven't listened to any of these albums, you really need to stop reading this and go ahead and do yourself a favor. I'm not a professional critic or anything - but these albums have a big impact on me! Of course there are more - but this is a quick list

EDIT: smh I didn't include Wayne because obviously we all know C2 and C3 are essential you don't have to have me tell you that
