i feel about Innercity Griots and most traditional forms of hip hop the way Piero Scaruffi does about Trout Mask Replica and rock music. it's an absolutely unimpeachable classic of the genre that everyone should have in their collection, and despite not really listening to much old school hip hop anymore, i find myself returning to it consistently.

yeah seconded on this one. Personally I prefer To Whom it May Concern.. by just a bit but both are among my favorite albums of all time in any genre
Definitely check earlier Kanye, Late Registration and Graduation are both incredible (The College Dropout isn't bad but I think doesn't stand up to either of those). Also solo MF DOOM, who is half of Madvillain if you weren't aware. Same goes for Andre 3000's repitoire and the rest of Outkast's stuff.
Brother Ali is another awesome story teller. Very politically charged, and full of a great energy. Here's a good starting point.
I could go on for days.. But I'm sure you don't have the time to sit through all of these posts. Check out my charts if you feel like it. They're mostly hip hop.
