The Chronic - Dr. Dre
Doggystyle - Snoop Dogg
Classics, paragons of 90s west coast
Illmatic - NAS
Reasonable Doubt - Jay-Z
The ying to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's yang, these 4 albums are classics.
After those I would expand to...
3 Feet High & Rising - De La Soul
Marshall Mathers LP/Slim Shady LP - Eminem (cool in the way American Psycho is an awesome movie)
College Dropout - Kanye West (I hate who Kanye is, but his first album is great)
36 Chambers - Wu Tang
2001 - Dr. Dre
There are a lot of good rap albums, but those are without a doubt my favorite
