Top 30 Hip-Hop Albums... Ever

First off, I fucking love listing things. This is kinda a repost of a Facebook note I made, but I realized I'd left out five truly excellent albums, so I had to expand it to 30. I love all genres of music, from indie rock to grindcore, so hip-hop's certainly not going to be the only thing I'll cover on here. No matter what genres you listen to, though, hope you enjoy it.
