This year, N.W.A.\u2019s landmark <\/span>Straight Outta Compton<\/span><\/i> turns 30 and continues to stand as one of the greatest and most influential albums of all time. In music, first impressions are important\u2014they can signal either a great success, or an even greater failure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are five albums that introduced the world to some of the greatest acts in hip-hop. Obvious honorable mentions include <\/span>Illmatic <\/span><\/i>by Nas, <\/span>Cypress Hill <\/span><\/i>by Cypress Hill, <\/span>Ready to Die <\/span><\/i>by the Notorious B.I.G. and <\/span>Get Rich or Die Tryin\u2019 <\/span><\/i>by 50 Cent.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Section .80 –<\/i><\/b> Kendrick Lamar
\n<\/b>Released: <\/b>July 2, 2011<\/span><\/p>\n

Compton is no stranger to excellent talent. The newest album on this list, Kendrick Lamar<\/span><\/a>\u2019s major label debut was a powerhouse, tackles themes of drug trafficking, racial tension and, of course, the crack epidemic of the 1980s. A conscious album released during the dying days of rap\u2019s bling era, Lamar\u2019s penchant for storytelling was front and center in <\/span>Section.80. <\/span><\/i>Sure, <\/span>Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>To Pimp A Butterfly <\/span><\/i>are certainly better albums, but no one can deny how Lamar\u2019s first foray into music set the blueprint for his near-perfect discography. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best Track(s): <\/b>ADHD, The Spiteful Chant<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

4. Licensed to Ill- <\/i><\/b>Beastie Boys
\n<\/b>Released: <\/b>November 15, 1986<\/span><\/p>\n

Three punk-rock Jewish kids from New York decided that they wanted to change the rap game. 1986 was a crazy year and nothing was crazier than the time the Beastie Boys burst onto the scene. With an attitude heard around the world, the Beastie Boys crafted one of the biggest albums of the decade, sampling artists like Led Zeppelin and AC\/DC. They were the pioneers of what would be called rap rock. Bands like Rage Against the Machine and acts like Eminem would not be who they are without the Beasties fighting for everyone\u2019s right to party. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best Track(s): <\/b>Rhymin\u2019 and Stealin\u2019, Paul Revere<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

3. The College Dropout- <\/i><\/b>Kanye West
\n<\/b>Released: <\/b>February 10, 2004<\/span><\/p>\n

Before he was interrupting award shows, marrying reality stars or even venturing into fashion, Kanye West<\/span><\/a> was a producer carrying a Louis Vuitton backpack filled with old disks and demos. On his first album, he used what he learned from producing Jay-Z\u2019s <\/span>The Blueprint <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>The Black Album <\/span><\/i>and crafted the anthem for every artist shooting for their dreams. The album is filled with soul samples, themes of family and black identity, as well as the right amount of cockiness that any good rapper needs. Gone were the days of gangsta rap dominating the airwaves. Instead, Mr. West ushered in the new era of alternative hip-hop. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best Track(s): <\/b>Family Business<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Last Call<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

2. The Chronic- <\/i><\/b>Dr. Dre
\n<\/b>Released: <\/b>December 15, 1992<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine the good doctor as someone who was just a member of the Compton-based N.W.A. \u00a0On <\/span>The Chronic, <\/span><\/i>Dre not only jump-started his career, but he managed to birth that of Long Beach rapper Snoop Dogg, who was featured on numerous tracks on the album. Like Brian Wilson before him, Dre pushed the barriers of what can be done with sound and not only elevated the rap genre, but managed to break new ground in areas of funk and R&B. Mellow beats, violent lyrics with the occasional reference to a certain herb and the laid back attitude as cool as a pool day in California made <\/span>The Chronic <\/span><\/i>into what it is. It converted Dre from producer to composer in only 62 minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best Track(s): <\/b>Let Me Ride, Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

1. Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)- <\/i><\/b>Wu-Tang Clan
\n<\/b>Released: <\/b>November 9, 1993<\/span><\/p>\n

From the rugged lands of Shaolin (or Staten Island) came an album about weed, martial arts films and the struggles of street life. The Wu-Tang Clan put East Coast hip-hop back on the map with this sprawling, hardcore mess of an album. Helmed by the production of the RZA and verses by members such as Method Man and the late Ol\u2019 Dirty Bastard, the Wu upped the ante on what a hardcore rap album should be. Featuring graphic lyrics about murder with a couple of soul samples thrown in for good measure, it was certainly something no one could expect or ever put down. In terms of lyrical depth and production, Wu-Tang Clan<\/span><\/a> were certainly nothing to \u2018f\u2019 with. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best Track(s): <\/b>Da Mystery of Chessboxin\u2019, Protect Ya Neck<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
