1	The Greatest Story Ever Told (2008) more music like this by David Banner The pre-release hype for The Greatest Story Ever Told claimed the album would find David Banner "connecting on a larger scale," with "social commentary at its finest" being the heart of the album. On the opening "So Long," the underappreciated rapper connects and offers compelling commentary at a furious rate, whipping through topics such as 9/11, ... see all copies from $13.55! new only from $13.55!
2	Curtis (2007) more music like this by 50 Cent There are two big stories behind 50 Cent's third album, Curtis (as in real name: Curtis Jackson). First, there's the promise he made that he would outsell Kanye West -- who was releasing his Graduation album the same day as Curtis -- or he would retire. Second, there's the album's original title, Before I Self Destruct , a fitting caption to the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
3	It Was Written (1996) more music like this by Nas For his second album, It Was Written, Nas hired a bunch of hip-hop's biggest producers -- including Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, Stretch, and Trackmasters -- to help him create the musical bed for his daring, groundbreaking rhymes. Although that rhyme style isn't as startling on It Was Written as it was on his debut, Illmatic, Nas has deepened his talents ... see all copies from $9.11! new only from $9.11!
4	Nastradamus (1999) more music like this by Nas see all copies from $3.99! new only from $7.99!
5	Illmatic (1994) more music like this by Nas Often cited as one of the best hip-hop albums of the '90s, Illmatic is the undisputed classic upon which Nas' reputation rests. It helped spearhead the artistic renaissance of New York hip-hop in the post-Chronic era, leading a return to street aesthetics. Yet even if Illmatic marks the beginning of a shift away from Native Tongues-inspired ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $10.95!
6	Life After Death (1997) more music like this by The Notorious B.I.G. It may have taken the Notorious B.I.G. a few years to follow up his milestone debut, Ready to Die (1994), with another album, but when he did return with Life After Death in 1997, he did so in a huge way. The ambitious album, intended as somewhat of a sequel to Ready to Die, picking up where its predecessor left off, sprawled across the span of ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $20.19!
7	The Dynasty Roc la Familia (2000) more music like this by Jay-Z At the time of The Dynasty Roc la Familia's release, Jay-Z had already established himself as a towering figure in the rap world. His previous two albums -- Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life and Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter -- spawned numerous gigantic hits and were filled the brim with the biggest hitmakers in rap: producers like Timbaland and Swizz ... see all copies from $12.94! new only from $12.94!
8	Headz or Tailz (1998) more music like this by Do or Die see all copies from $4.99! new only from $15.11!
9	E 1999 Eternal (1995) more music like this by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Following the surprise success of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's summer 1994 anthem "Thuggish Ruggish Bone," the group returned a year later with E 1999 Eternal, an impressive debut full-length that dismisses any notion that the group was merely a one-hit wonder. From beginning to end, the album maintains a consistent tone, one that's menacing and somber, ... see all copies from $5.32! new only from $12.69!
10	All Eyez on Me (1996) more music like this by 2 Pac 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 $19.99! new only from $22.25!
11 view cover	Strength & Loyalty (2007) more music like this by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony The title to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's 2007 comeback album, Strength & Loyalty, must be a reference to their fans. Despite handing in some forgettable efforts, emptying fans' wallets with too many solo and side projects, and promising new product and not delivering repeatedly, Bone always got a pass from faithful. Strength & Loyalty is also too heavy ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.15!
12 view cover	War & Peace, Vol. 1 (The War Disc) (1998) more music like this by Ice Cube Considering that he hadn't delivered a full-fledged solo album since 1993's disappointing Lethal Injection, maybe it shouldn't have been a surprise that Ice Cube returned hard in 1998 with War & Peace, Vol. 1 (The War Disc), since five years is a long, long time to stay quiet. What was a surprise was how ambitious the album was. The first ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.81!
13 view cover	Doggystyle (1993) more music like this by Snoop Doggy Dogg 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 $15.31! new only from $15.31!
14 view cover	Port of Miami (2006) more music like this by Rick Ross Nicknamed after a notorious drug dealer, William "Rick Ross" Roberts claims to have dealt drugs himself, prior to becoming an MC and gaining the interest of Def Jam president Jay-Z. Rather than merely lure Ross away from his initial label (Slip-N-Slide) with a lucrative contract, Jay-Z linked up with the entire label and netted a distribution deal ... see all copies from $13.38! new only from $14.52!
15 view cover	The Documentary (2005) more music like this by The Game 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 $14.52! new only from $14.52!
16 view cover	Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter (1999) more music like this by Jay-Z After the crossover success of 1998's Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life (complete with highly publicized samples from Annie), Jay-Z returned to the streets on his fourth proper album overall, 1999's Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter. A set of hard-hitting tracks with some of the best rhymes of Jay-Z's career, the album is much more invigorating than its ... see all copies from $4.94! new only from $12.65!
17 view cover	No Way Out (1997) more music like this by Puff Daddy & the Family Before releasing his first solo album, Puff Daddy (aka Sean "Puffy" Combs) was famous as the producer of the Notorious B.I.G., Junior Mafia, Craig Mack, Lil' Kim, and many other rappers. As he was making his solo debut, the Notorious B.I.G. was murdered, and that loss weighs heavily on Puff's mind throughout No Way Out. Even though the album has ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $16.65!
18 view cover	Purple Haze (2004) more music like this by Cam'ron Released within months of Jim Jones' On My Way to Church, the second volume of the Diplomats' Diplomatic Immunity, and another flurry of mixtapes, Cam'ron's fourth album ("Previously written in 2001," as announced in the intro) is evenly divided between strong and weak tracks. This lack of quality control will both provide ammo for Diplomat haters ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $13.34!
19 view cover	Back to the Traphouse (2007) more music like this by Gucci Mane see all copies from $3.95! new only from $16.66!
20 view cover	T.I. vs T.I.P. (2007) more music like this by T.I. T.I. has been playing with the split-personality concept for years, most notably on 2003's "T.I. vs T.I.P.," where the only strict differences were laid out like this: T.I.P.'s women sell weed and have gold teeth, while T.I.'s women have jobs and good credit, and T.I.P. is neither as paid nor as laid-back as T.I. Four years on, after getting real ... see all copies from $8.36! new only from $10.16!
21 view cover	The Real Testament (2007) more music like this by Plies Plies was known as a loud mouth plus loose cannon -- a jail sentence on gun charges had him replaced by Snoop Dogg for the Akon collabo "I Wanna Love You" -- long before most even got to hear him, and his debut is just about everything you want from thug who is as ambitious as he is vicious. Even if there are redundant tracks and some potential ... see all copies from $9.34! new only from $10.44!
22 view cover	Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Lacking the usual G-Unit complete package polish, the soundtrack to 50 Cent's big Hollywood debut is far from perfect, but this sometimes thrilling collection of protégés and slick swagger from the big hustler himself is still worth considering. Since the film is a semi-biopic, it's surprising how non-personal and G-Unit pimping the soundtrack ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $3.99!
23 view cover	Guerillas in tha Mist (1992) more music like this by Da Lench Mob Looking like a cross between the Black Panthers and the Zapatistas on the album cover, Da Lench Mob fully embrace an urban revolutionary rhetoric consistent with their image. Unrepentantly political music of any sort can be difficult to listen to -- particularly when it is almost blindly angry and coming from an inherently (though understandably) ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $9.55!
24 view cover	Guerrilla Warfare (1999) more music like this by Hot Boys Guerrilla Warfare presents Cash Money Records at its finest. The Hot Boys feature Juvenile, B.G., Lil' Wayne, and Turk rhyming over phenomenal bounce beats provided by Mannie Fresh. Following the success of Juvenile's 400 Degreez and B.G.'s Chopper City in the Ghetto, Guerrilla Warfare highlighted a fully realized regional sound, indigenous to New ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $12.94!
25 view cover	Greatest Hits (2002) more music like this by Scarface The prototype for the Dirty South thug image that came years after his debut, Scarface is a harsh and gritty MC who never broke into the mainstream because he had little desire to cross over. On Greatest Hits, Scarface collects most of his singles and well-known album tracks in a collection that has the tiniest thread of chronological order (most ... see all copies from $13.67! new only from $13.67!
