8. D'Angelo - Voodoo. This was released on January 25, 2000. D'Angelo sold over 1.7 million copies with this release. The album featured production from Raphael Saadiq, Questlove, DJ Premier and the late great J Dilla. Standout tracks consist of "Send It On", "Untitled (How Does It Feel)", "Chicken Grease" and "Devil's Pie". I could go on for days as to why this should be considered in the 'greatest albums of all time' list. A couple of MP3s can be heard below...
9. Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele. This album was "ree-diccc-q-lusss". It featured production from Wu-members, THE RZA, Inspectah Deck, and Mathematics and many others. Ghostface sold over 700,000 copies with this release. This is one of the few hip-hop albums that can be played from start to finish without skipping! From RZA's superb sampling on "Nutmeg" or the pop-ish feel of "Cherchez La Ghost"..."The devil planted fear inside the Black babies...50 cent sodas in the hood, they go crazy!" Enough said. Every song on this album is a highlight. For your listening pleasure, I placed three of them below. Enjoy!
10. Dead Prez - Let's Get Free. This album was released in March of 2000. It begins with a moving speech from Omali Yeshitela, who is a leader of the UHURU movement, so from the start of the album, you know the direction where the music is heading. The tracks are filled with revolutionary tactics aimed to ignite the African-American community. In my opinion, this is another album that should make the 'greatest albums of all time' list. From "They Schools" to "Psychology" or the riot-inciting "Hip-Hop", this is definitely something to have in your collection if you are a true HIP-HOP FAN! "We down to take it to the full-length/Meet us up on Capitol Hill and we can get into some real shit.." POW!
