yeah, it’s tough to narrow down a top 3 LPs, but off top i’d go with

Public Enemy Nations to Hold Us Back
Nas Illmatic
Organized Konfusion self titled debut

they are all complete, no fillers, and to this day i’ve never gotten tired of any of them. the lyrics, songwriting, hooks, and beats are all classic and ridiculously original. no weaknesses. G Rap’s second LP Wanted Dead or Alive would be up there, too, and Tribe’s Midnight Marauders . . .

No doubt. I love the first album. I personally cannot put it in my top 3 of all time obviously, as I loved Stress even more. The thing I loved so much about their first album tho was that it just sounded so fresh and different. Being from Queens Village/Jamaica, I was always up on the Queens artists. I remember going to the ave to copp the first OK tape. It was just such a glorious time for hip hop back then. I miss it. Q-tip’s new album has really brought back a freshness to the game that I am really digging. Black Milk as well.

Organized was one of a kind tho, and their music was just really really good, no matter how you slice it or what song or album of theirs is your personal favorite, there is no denying the dopeness..

i spun in san fran a couple of weeks ago, and dj hakobo threw on ‘let’s organize’ during his set. i lost it, hadn’t heard any other dj except for me play it ever, really good dance record, and yes, that lp was slept on. however i’d disagree with you as it being their best ever. the first organized konfusion release, in my opinion, stands as my top three hip hop lps of all time. like that. ‘releasing hypnotical gases,’ ‘open your eyes,’ ‘chicken,’ on and on . . . classic
