what rappers have 5 or more great/excellent albums (counting collab/group albums)

[ManBearPig]

Meh. Illmatic, Gods Son, LIG, Lost Tapes, and Street's Disciple all scored an 80 or higher Metacritic and then Nas got IWW, stillmatic, and Untitled.

But nikkaz saying Return of the Mac is an great album?

Only Outkast and Pac... Lu after Tetsuo & Youth

People need to stop relying on Metacritic. We shouldn't care what Entertainment Weekly thought of a hip hop album.
Nas is easy. Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, God's Son and LIG are objectively great at a minimum.
Return of the Mac skates by as great. Rhymes was sub par for P though.

How you getting to five with Outkast? The first three for sure, but then what?
Lu got two excellent albums, the last two were meh at best.

Those are the sources we should look to, but the overall score gets tainted by mainstream publications IMO.
