    Doggystyle-Snoop doesn't get as much credit as it should so it's definitely underrated.
    Mob Deep-The Infamous ,too

    Jay Rock - Follow Me Home

    I don't see this highly rated by a lot of people, but I think it's a classic west coast album. Same with YG's My Krazy Life. But I think that's a pretty popular choice.

    If you're looking for some really different s---, check out Crying Over Pros For No Reason. It's a Glitch Hop album.

    I always considered these to be very excellent albums that might go under the radar:
    Beanie Sigel - The Truth
    DJ Quik - Safe + Sound
    Three Six Mafia - Mystic Stylez
    Slum Village - Fantastic, Vol. 2
    JayLib - Champion Sound

    Not really an album but the Members Of Byrdgang Vol.1 was absolutely flames, haven't heard it in so long. It had a rising Max B, a hungry Stack Bundles and finally with Mel Matrix and Jim Jones providing solid contributions.

    In order from obscure to mainstream

    Grieves - Irreversible
    Immortal Technique - Revolutionary, Vol. II
    Big L - Lifestyles ov da Poor & Dangerous
    Big Pun - Capital Punishment

    Others I'd consider classic are ones you've probably heard like Illmatic and OB4CL.
