Wow this is a hard question lol.
My first CD I ever bought myself and owned was D12 World. (parents didn't like it ahaha)
I'm going to name my top 10 for personal enjoyment, not lyricism. Because for example, I really enjoyed Eminem's album encore, however I know that's not fucking with Infinite. So, my favorite. (in no particular order)

Doggystyle - Snoop dogg
Jackpot - Chingy
Raw - Hopsin
The Red Light District - Ludacris
Life After Death - Biggie
All Eyes On Me - Tupac
The Big Picture - Big L
The Black Album - Jay Z
Laugh Now, Cry Later - Ice Cube
Marshall Mathers LP, Slim Shady LP, Eminem Show, 8 mile, Recovery - Eminem. (Couldn't choose one, I've always thoroughly enjoyed all his work)

I always bumped NWA stuff, anything Eazy-e, i always listened to Papoose, Cassidy, 50cent, and many many many more, but these are CD's I always remember bumping consistently, when a lot of other artists I would pick and choose songs, where as I bumped the whole album for those.

Smh this nigga said chingy haha

Can't believe I forgot mobb deep - the infamous
Definitely in my top 10

Chingy had one hit

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo- Road To The Riches
Eric B & Rakim- Paid In Full
Wu Tang- 36 Chambers
Organized Konfusion- Organized Konfusion
Slick Rick- The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick
Nas- Illmatic
