A thread of my top 10 favourite Hip Hop albums of all time. Before I go ahead I want to make it clear that these are my personal favourites and not what I think are the greatest / best hip hop albums, just the ones I have enjoyed the most. RTs Appreciated 
First of all, I want to showcase these amazing albums which have just missed out on my top 10, I love all of these albums and on another day they could have made it.
10. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
This album was played so much for me throughout High School and it just brings back some of the best memories I’ve ever had. Controversially this is my favourite Frank album and is more iconic for me than Blond is.
Favourite Track - Pyramids

7. 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin’
Undoubtedly one of the greatest essential rap albums of all time. 50 really doesn’t miss on this and there are so many catchy hooks. Many Men might be 50s best song OAT.
Favourite tracks - If I Can’t, Heat, Many Men and Patiently Waiting

4. Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city
This has to be my most played album in the last 10 years. I don’t hand out classics often but for me GKMC comes under that category. I would put this amongst the greatest hip hop albums OAT.
