Pass me the rock nikka
Stillmatic>The Lost Tapes IMO. He destroyed Hov on Ether, and this album proved Nas was still ill.
I agree. Life After Death>All Eyez on Me.
Troll OG and naked truth need to go and Documentary should get a retroactive 5 mic
The XXL list is missing so be albums it's a joke

XXL has only been around since late 97/early 98 and as far as i know they haven't officially gone back & re-rated any old albums to XXL they just had a running classic sidebar in the review section.

It's hard for me to respect any of the retroactive 5 micers.
Will get this out of the way, since my 
days, i've always had unconventional/unpopular opinions on hiphop - most would toss tomatoes at me but my opinions are just that.
A lot of that old school stuff doens't belong on there (i've had quite a few of them on cd during my hard core golden era/back packer phase) - but that's prolly cuz they sound so outdated (Straight out the jungle and any of cube's albums before predator didn't digest well with me).
Muddy Waters isn't on there? Ridiculous.
Smif and Wessun's Da Shinin' should DEFINITELY be up there. Enta Da Stage should get a nod.
Other honorable mentions i consider classics by replay value, influence, production, impact and overal experience (i'm not a lyrics guy):
Mase: Harlem World
Rappin' 4 Tay - Don't Fight The Feeling
Camp Lo - Uptown Sat Night
Return of the 36 (as a matter of fact, i enjoy this album more than liquid swords, iron man, Cuban Links - you name it).
Deltron 3030
Master P - Ghetto D
Em - Slim Shade LP
Cormega - The Realness
Dr Octagon - Octogonocologist
Diamond D - Stunts Blunts
Do or Die - Picture This
Jeezy - Recession (this is arguable, but imo, a modern day classic... i'll take the tomatoes in full barrage on this, but i stand by this album).
Timbaland and Magoo - Welcome To Our World
DMX - Its Dark.
JD - Life in 1472
Bone - Creepin On uh Come Up
MF - Operation Dooms
Illadelph Halflife
O.C. - Word Life
Pete/Cl - Main Ingredient
Mos - Black on Both
Eric and Ra - Don't Sweat the Tech
Gangstarr - hard to earn
------
Never understood why The Score and Reasonable Doubt always make these coveted lists. As a matter of fukkin fact. Doe Or Die >>>>>> RD.
Miseducation was always shiit to me too.
Also, i really enjoyed Big L's Lifestyles. Never makes anybody's top 10 but that shiit was flames.
And i'm going to be deemed ratchet for this and any respect or credibility revoked but here it is...
Diplomatic Immunity.

I don't think any kanye album is better than life after death (or all eyes on me), especially not that new one, I like kanyes music, but it ain't seeing BIG.
Dusty Bake Activate
Fukk your corny debates
Most overrated album of all time.
In - Midnight Marauders, Food & Liquor, The Cool, Like Water For Chocolate
Out - Tribe's first 2 albums aren't 5 mics, CD & LR fall short of XXL IMO, Ready to Die should be XXL.
Have to do my homework on them 80's albums on The Source. What year was XXL established? They got no 80's rap on there.
EDIT: Road to the Riches, 4,5,6, The Documentary, Liquid Swords, Ironman, Supreme Clientele, Uptown Saturday Night belong on either list. Damn the 90's was good. And my XXL question was answered lol
