It's not the best on the list, but I gotta give a plug for ODB's Return to the 36 Chambers. The #1 personality from Wu-Tang, if not the #1 artist. Remember - he's a role model...

That's a boy bro, and the dialogue is culled from Shogun Assassin. It's a dope movie, you should check it out.

Anyway, didn't expect Liquid Swords to be winning by quite this big a margin. It's a fantastic record, but there are at least three albums on the list I prefer to it. Also, everybody who voted for it should check out Grandmasters, which is nearly as good and criminally underheard.

Yeah, another one Liquid Sword's way.
Then Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Return to the 36 Chambers, Ironman, Czarface (all 4 excellent), Ghost Dog, Fishscale, Only Built 2 (all 3 very good, the latter a recent re-evaluation after years of denying its goodness).
I am yet to listen to Supreme Clientele, the only song I know from it is "One", obviously excellent.[/i]

I went for Liquid Swords, but Grandmasters, Heavy Mental and Ironman could run it close on their day.

A bit shocked at the number of votes for Liquid Swords, too. I love it obviously, but wow, it's a landslide here.
6 Feet Deep by Gravediggaz was an instant love for me. First, it's catchy as hell. The choruses are just the catchiest ones I've ever heard, and they're not even sung. If not too fond on sung choruses in hip-hop anyway, unless it's done by a woman (not sure why, I don't care, you neither). Impossible to transcribe in a post, obviously, but their rhythms, the tone of the voice, they are incredible. Check songs like Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide, 1-800-Suicide (it's cheating, as it's a famous line form KRS-One, but I don't care) and Death Trap to see it.
Also, the beats. From the sad, emotive synth thing of Suicide, to the slightly dissonant guitar riff of Detective Trip, to the downright noisy electronic bzzz of Bang Your Head, it's all gold. Not sure what else to say apart from the fact that they are some of my favorites.
Finally, the flaws are pretty unique, being between the calm, dark, laid-back side of GZA, and the hysterical, spitting style of Ol' Dirty Bastard (though never being annoying as he sometimes is, IMO). This is really flagrant in tracks like Constant Elevation (right at the beginning, it's fucking amazing and doesn't lose its time) and Graveyard Chamber. The verses themselves are catchy, actually.
Not much to say about the lyrics though, first because I've never read them so I only really understand a few lines here and there, and because the ones I've understood are not particularly incredible or anything, just classic horrorcore things telling you that they will do really shocking shit and such.
Well, it's just one of my favorite records ever, so don't hesitate to give it a chance if you trust my tastes 🤣
