Slick Rick's debut is great. KRS-One is pretty good, but I'm not that big of a fan. Haven't heard much of his solo stuff, though, mainly the BDP albums.

Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Jay-Z - The Black Album
The Notorious B.I.G. - Life After Death

Those two are great tracks. Are the albums as good ?

BETTER my man. The Onyx track is just the intro, it's a high energy, out of control album with great rapping. Probably one of my favorite albums and rap groups.

Enta Da Stage the track is one of the weaker ones on the album IMO. Again it's pretty intense album, parental discretion is def. advised, but the guy (buckshot) can rap and it is excellent.
