Classic joints!

Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet
Black Sheep - A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
Digital Underground - Sons Of The P
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Mecca & The Soul Brother
Redman - Dare Iz A Darkside
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low-End Theory
Ice-T - Home Invasion
Ice Cube - AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
The Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Eric B & Rakim - Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em


Modern, blazing tracks!

Blackalicious - Nia
Ghostface Killah - The Pretty Toney Album
Cee-Lo Green - ...Is The Soul Machine
Jay-Z - The Black Album
Scarface - The Fix
MF Doom - Operation: Doomsday
Royce Da 5'9" - Death Is Certain
Erick Sermon - Chilltown, New York
Mr. Lif - I Phantom
Kanye West - College Dropout


One obligatory "okay so the lyrics suck, but damn, those BEATS, those motherfucking BEATS, they're fucking genocidally mass-murderous" offering!

David Banner - Baptized In Dirty Water


Get all of these, and your ghetto pass may never be revoked.
