I feel it has to be "Camp Lo's Uptown Saturday night". DL that album through i-tunes it is one of the most original albums ever created. This record came out over ten years before Jay Z dropped the "American Gangster Soundtrack" which is the only album that I can really compare it to.

Everything about this album from the beats to the coded language is on point. If there are some youngbloods out there who are hip-hop heads and don't know about this album I implore you to actually spend the money. Anybody who makes music like this deserves to get paid.

'93 'til infinity by the souls of mischief - lots of critical acclaim, but few people know about it

De La Soul Buhloone Mindstate - a little off the beaten path compared with their first 2 albums, but a nice departure imo

Luchini is so classic, I definitely felt Camp Lo was slept on.

A lot of DJ Premier stuff I feel is very underrated, like Jewelz by OC, and Jeru the Damaja's first 2 albums, The Sun Rises In the East and Wrath of the Math.





Still listen to these alot.

The 2 Jeru ones above no doubt- I still listen to those a ton.

One other one I loved was Black Sheep, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing from 1991.  SO many good tracks on that...
