What do u think is the best hip hop album ever?

Give reasons why u think so. No bullshit reasons like "Eminem is the best rapper ever so anything he did," or "I like the black album cuz now that Jay's retired i wanna be on his dick like everyone else." I hear people say that kind of shit all the time.

Anyway I think its a tie between 2pac's Me Against the World and Jay's Reasonable Doubt; Both 5 mic classics.

Me Against the World was Pac's shining moment. I think it was his last album that was truly felt. Before he signed with Death Row and played into the gangsta image that made 50 so popular, and as he was in T.H.U.G. life's dying
days he made this album and put his soul into it. I think that seven years past his death he is over rated, but would anyone know his name today if it werent for this album? Going so far as saying he is the best rapper ever is something I'm not gonna get into. But this album is by far his best work, and there arent many out there who even have the potential to touch it.

And i dont think theres a person out there that wouldnt put Reasonable Doubt in their top 10 list. From Brooklyn's Finest with Biggie to Dead Presidents there wasnt a dull cut on it. Jay came out at the top of his game. Some people say the blueprint is on the same level but I disagree. Jay has never been this consistant on any other album.
