Top 10 RAP albums of all time.

BDP's Criminal Minded has to be on a top ten list.

Tribe's Low End Theory is much better than Midnight Mauraders.

No question, there is no list without Criminal Minded or It takes a Nation of Millions to hold us back.

I'll also add The Sound Of Revenge.

No LL or Run DMC? How can you have that much old school stuff without having some of the founding fathers?

Damn. You're right. Well there really is so much out there it's hard to put it in to just 10...

I was never a huge LL fan but I LOVED Run DMC.

umm... how can you have a top rap album list, yet no one mentions a single Scarface album?

"Everything Biggie did, everything Pac did, everything Jay z does was originally done on the first Scarface album. Biggie kills himself at the end of his first record: well, Scarface did it three years earlier. He was the first guy to do rhymes in the first person about robbing people and drug dealing: he was the first guy to really talk about being depressed and being institutionalized, and how his mama is scared of him. He is the most underrated rapper of all time and absolutely in the top three, you cannot get to four without mentioning Scarface. Any rapper knows that." -- Chris Rock
