Personally, the way I listen now it’s

Rick
Ultra
Rakim
NWA

BUT, I grew up on NWA so at this point I’ve listened to SOC more times than I can imagine. I still bump some songs off it but I don’t play the whole album like I would with the others. impact wise I’d go
NWA
Rakim
Slick Rick
Ultra

They’re all super classics tho

Follow the Leader is definitely last in my book because it was my least favorite of their first three albums.

Critical Beatdown first
Great Adventures and Straight Outta tie for 2nd
