Violent By Design - Jedi Mind TricksHard to Earn - Gangstarrand some Jurassic 5 album
Got these all about the same time when I was like 13 or 14, but then I got more into punk and shit, and didn't buy another hip hop album for probably 3ish years. then I copped Revolutionary Vol. 2 - Immortal Technique when that came out, after hearing Leaving the Past. Now hip hop is pretty much all I listen too.
