16.Doggystyle - Snoop Dogg
17.Iron Man - Ghostface Killah
18.The Infamous - Mobb Deep
19.Temples of Boom - Cypress Hill
20.Stone Crazy - The Beatnuts

All my choices were based on various factors....

1.Raw lyrics & Production
2.Atmosphere
3.Replayability
It was a hard decision putting one above the other but these were pretty much the albums I play the most, whether at home or on the move. There were some obvious omissions which I left out such as Gangstarr and Tribe called quest, but to be honest I find I can't play through they whole albums as much as the ones listed. Also I got into hip hop in the early ninties so groups like Public Enemy, Run DMC etc.. would not have made my top twenty because I always prefered the mid ninties sound as opposed to the sample heavy jazzy beats in the late eighties.

Albums that just missed out of the top twenty were:

No Order
Illmatic - Nas
Atliens - Outkast
Wu-Forever
The Piece Maker - Tony Touch (compilation album)
Visions of Ghandi - Jedi Mind Tricks
Black Sunday - Cypress Hill
3:16 - Murs
Hell on Earth - Mobb Deep
Brothas Doobie - Funkdoobiest
Street Level - The Beatnuts
