Dude, I've got a lot to catch up in hip-hop, but not THAT much. Ready To Die is one of those rare albums that's untouchable and stupidly loved/hyped by everyone, and yet
still somehow seems underrated when I give it a proper spin, because it's just that fucking good. It's the rap equivalent of like Paranoid or something. Things Done Changed? HOLY SHIT!
The Infamous is of course a classic, although I just tends to get overshadowed by Illmatic even for me for some reason (due to the similarity in sound/period/them being on Nas's side of the Jay-Z beef I guess). That's still no bad reflection on it in itself though. Illmatic is a strong candidate for the best hip-hop album ever, so it can't really compare. Survival Of The Fittest is an amazing track, as in Shook Ones pt II and many others...
