Top 20 Hip-Hop Albums of All Time: No. 20

Hip-hop has seen some great albums in its thirty plus years, so we decided we'd take a trip down memory lane, round up the best of the best, rank them and, hopefully, spark some discussion. From the days of back-pack rap to the East coast's return to form, here's a look at the top 20 hip-hop albums of all time.
