I know there are albums that are critically better but fukk it I've played the shyt out of Get Rich

That album was everywhere when I was growing up, I've never seen anything like the impact it had and I don't think I will again.

 

[Trilogy]

House of Balloons
Doggystyle
Rodeo

 

[Jimmy the gent]

Can't argue with that

 

[DaveyDave]

Some joints I think won’t get mentioned but are up there

De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising
Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep
Bone Thugs - E. 1999 (or COACU if you must include that even tho it was an EP I still think it’s up there in fact I prefer their slightly more rugged style on that release)

I feel like "it's Makaveli's first album" is gonna be the response here.

I'm not saying it's right, but that'd be my guess



I gotta throw Country Grammar into the mix here. Not saying it's the best but it was a fire debut album.

Also Beanie Sigel's The Truth. While it's actually my least favorite of his first three it was still huge out the gate nonetheless

Going off of sheer impact around my world when they dropped:

Doggystyle
Harlem World
Tha Block Is Hot
