I truly think it comes down to Illmatic, The Chronic, & Cuban Linx.
Illmatic for the poetry element, Chronic & Linx for the music
Linx is my #1 but you can make a real good case for the other two.

You sir, are correct.
Greatest Album ever. Most influential too, on the low. Especially with the tape itself being Purple. That was just awesome.
illmatic comes in an extremely close 2nd, but what sets them apart and gives Rae/Ghost/Cap the nod isn't anything to do with music. Its actually cappadonnas dance moves and frankenstein-ian aura in the "Ice Cream" Video.
There stood a man every bit of 6"3" tall, moving around the most gorgeous of women you could have found in the casting areas of foodstamp offices, womens shelters for the abused (waiting on low income housing), and NYC parks & recreation break rooms. Handpicked most likely by Method man himself. Not to be intimidated by these Queens, Cappa Pendegras commanded the camera and glided through scenes like a classically trained thespian. His blank stares let you know he was serious, and his archaic apparel was truly ahead of its time. (You only started to see the emergence of headbands coiled around your throat in street basketball circles years after) These stunning visuals only made the Classic song....THAT MUCH BETTER.

came in to say this, even the concept of the package is
Infamous > Chronic
Illmatic, OB4CL, and Infamous are the holy trinity.
That Mobb, Nas, Wu connection was legendary.

idk The Chronic is pretty hard to beat.. you gotta respect what Dre did for the game & also the sheer level of craft in his work.
On a personal level, fukk yes

this is another reason why i always compare 90s rap to 70s rock
its a space in time that will never happen again
