1	All Eyez on Me (1996) more music like this by 2 Pac add to wishlist Maybe it was his time in prison, or maybe it was simply his signing with Suge Knight's Death Row label. Whatever the case, 2Pac re-emerged hardened and hungry with All Eyez on Me, the first double-disc album of original material in hip-hop history. With all the controversy surrounding him, 2Pac seemingly wanted to throw down a monumental epic ... see all copies from $14.50! new only from $16.89!
2	Doggystyle (1993) more music like this by Snoop Doggy Dogg add to wishlist If Snoop Dogg's debut, Doggystyle, doesn't seem like a debut, it's because in many ways it's not. Snoop had already debuted as a featured rapper on Dr. Dre's 1992 album, The Chronic, rapping on half of the 16 tracks, including all the hit singles, so it wasn't like he was an unknown force when Doggystyle was released in late 1993. If anything, ... see all copies from $3.77! new only from $13.65!
3	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by 2Pac add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.57!
4	2001 (1999) more music like this by Dr. Dre add to wishlist The Slim Shady LP announced not only Eminem's arrival, but it established that his producer Dr. Dre was anything but passé, thereby raising expectations for 2001, the long-anticipated sequel to The Chronic. It suggested that 2001 wouldn't simply be recycled Chronic, and, musically speaking, that's more or less true. He's pushed himself hard, ... see all copies from $4.19! new only from $10.39!
5	The Chronic (1992) more music like this by Dr. Dre add to wishlist With its stylish, sonically detailed production, Dr. Dre's 1992 solo debut, The Chronic, transformed the entire sound of West Coast rap. Here Dre established his patented G-funk sound: fat, blunted Parliament-Funkadelic beats, soulful backing vocals, and live instruments in the rolling basslines and whiny synths. What's impressive is that Dre ... see all copies from $5.44! new only from $13.80!
6	Cypress Hill (1991) more music like this by Cypress Hill add to wishlist It's hard enough to transform an entire musical genre -- Cypress Hill's eponymous debut album revolutionized hip-hop in several respects. Although they weren't the first Latino rappers, nor the first to mix Spanish and English, they were the first to achieve a substantial following, thanks to their highly distinctive sound. Along with Beastie Boys ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.06!
7	The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (1996) more music like this by Makaveli add to wishlist Released only eight weeks after Tupac Shakur died from gunshot wounds, Death Row released this posthumous album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, under the name of Makaveli, a pseudonym derived from the Italian politician Niccolo Machiavelli, who faked his own death and reappeared seven days later to take revenge on his enemies. Naturally, ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $9.85!
8	The Documentary (2005) more music like this by The Game add to wishlist Once the Game surfaced as a force in hip-hop, a big deal was made of his dance with death. Apparently he was shot five times. If you're scoring at home, that's four times less than label mate and executive producer 50 Cent. After the altercation that nearly took his life, the Game took a crash course in hip-hop and studied up on the master MCs ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.97!
9	Until the End of Time (2001) more music like this by 2Pac add to wishlist The fourth album released in the wake of 2Pac's 1996 death, Until the End of Time certainly offers plenty of music, two discs' worth to be precise, although the songs here seem overdone, which can obscure 2Pac's performances. Nevertheless, those performances somehow remain remarkable no matter how deep into the vault Afeni Shakur and Suge Knight ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $19.34!
10	Boyz N the Hood (1991) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist John Singleton's debut as a director, Boyz N the Hood, was naturally compared to other urban dramas that came out during the early '90s -- such as New Jack City, Straight out of Brooklyn, Menace II Society, Fresh, Juice, and South Central. While the soundtrack for South Central was heavy on late-'70s and early-'80s funk, the soundtracks released ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.93!
11	Hemp Museum (1996) more music like this by B-Legit add to wishlist see all copies from $3.60! new only from $8.08!
12	Me Against the World (1995) more music like this by 2 Pac add to wishlist Recorded following his near-fatal shooting in New York, and released while he was in prison, Me Against the World is the point where 2Pac really became a legendary figure. Having stared death in the face and survived, he was a changed man on record, displaying a new confessional bent and a consistent emotional depth. By and large, this isn't the ... see all copies from $8.15! new only from $14.95!
13	It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa (1993) more music like this by Eazy-E add to wishlist Released a year after his previous EP (5150 Home 4 tha Sick, 1992) and a long five years since his one and only album to date (Eazy-Duz-It, 1988), It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa was both a stopgap release for Eazy-E and a response to the runaway success of Dr. Dre's The Chronic (1992). Eazy had been lambasted on that Dr. Dre album (and especially ... see all copies from $2.21! new only from $7.36!
14	Better Dayz (2002) more music like this by 2Pac add to wishlist Though it was released on the eve of the busiest year in 2Pac's posthumous career, Better Dayz shouldn't be overlooked -- and with the schedule including a feature documentary (with soundtrack), plus two books and another double album, it might be easy for this one to slip from the radar. A lengthy two-disc set, it benefits from a raft of still ... see all copies from $7.11! new only from $20.46!
15	Tha Eastsidaz (2000) more music like this by Tha Eastsidaz add to wishlist Snoop Dogg has always been remarkably intuitive when it comes to selecting his business associates. After all, he has had the good fortune of being mentored by arguably the industry's best producer (Dr. Dre) and its shrewdest businessman (Master P). Now that Snoop's name has become synonymous with platinum plaques, the next logical step in his ... see all copies from $3.44! new only from $6.88!
16	Death Row Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist More than any other label, Death Row defined gangsta rap and hip-hop in the early '90s, and the double-disc Death Row Greatest Hits captures nearly all of the label's biggest hits from artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and 2Pac. Although the disc bends some rules by including cuts that weren't released on Death Row and containing an ... see all copies from $4.45! new only from $13.69!
17	Office Space (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to a hilarious comedy directed by Mike Judge of Beavis & Butthead fame, the Office Space soundtrack features a slew of old school gangsta rap tunes, as well as newer rap songs composed specifically for this soundtrack. Office Space concerned the hell of wage slavery, a torturous lifetime spent in cubicles and retail establishments ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
18	93 'Til Infinity (1993) more music like this by Souls of Mischief add to wishlist One of hip-hop's great lost masterpieces, 93 'Til Infinity is the best single album to come out of Oakland's Hieroglyphics camp, and ranks as a seminal early classic of the West Coast underground. The Souls of Mischief weren't even out of their teens when they completely redefined the art of lyrical technique for the West Coast, along with fellow ... see all copies from $6.38! new only from $6.38!
19	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by MC Hammer add to wishlist Despite being one of the best-selling rappers of all time, none of MC Hammer's albums were very consistent -- the singles stood out like a sore thumb among the filler on each record, which is why Greatest Hits is such a good bargain. Greatest Hits compiles 12 of Hammer's biggest hits for Capitol Records, including "U Can't Touch This," "Pump It Up ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $7.96!
20	Murray's Revenge (2006) more music like this by Murs/9th Wonder add to wishlist In the underground hip-hop realm there are two basic camps: the one that breaks away from mainstream rap in both style and content, and the other, whose themes and production techniques are closer to its more popular sister, but which also proudly embraces (or at least acknowledges) its independent status. Murs is one of the few artists who fall ... see all copies from $11.53! new only from $11.53!
21	Big Thangs (1997) more music like this by Ant Banks add to wishlist Ant Banks may not have a terrific or distinctive rhyming style, but he has an ear for thick, funky grooves. That alone makes his records enjoyable, even if he has trouble sustaining momentum over the course of a full-length album. Still, Big Thangs is a more consistently pleasurable listen than many of his records, and that's due to that ear. Much ... see all copies from $6.13!
22	Brother Arab (1989) more music like this by Arabian Prince add to wishlist Hard-hitting hip-hop with an unrepentant gangsta tone. Arabian Prince angered some in the middle class community with this unrelenting condemnation of inner city life. It was vicious and vulgar, but delivered with the kind of cold, harsh slant that made it convincing. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.30!
23	Street 2 Da Grave (1993) more music like this by Blackjack add to wishlist see all copies from $71.52!
24	O.G. Original Gangster (1991) more music like this by Ice-T add to wishlist One of gangsta rap's defining albums, O.G. Original Gangster is a sprawling masterpiece that stands far and away as Ice-T's finest hour. Taken track by track, O.G. might not seem at first like the product of a unified vision; perspective-wise, it's all over the map. There's perceptive social analysis, chilling violence, psychological storytelling, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.47!
25	Millennium Hip-Hop Party (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist One of Rhino's main gifts as a record label is that they know a good gimmick when they see it, and there's no better gimmick than the millennium. Hence, their series of Millennium Party albums. None of the Millennium discs demonstrate much imagination, but they do make a good argument that sometimes it's better to stick to the basics. For instance ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $9.88!
