Things Fall Apart
7.  Things Fall Apart by The Roots

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

ATLiens
8.  ATLiens by Outkast

Arrhythmia

Endtroducing.....
13.  Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (48 customer reviews)

Operation: Doomsday
15.  Operation: Doomsday by MF Doom

3 Feet High And Rising (W/Bonus Cd)
16.  3 Feet High And Rising (W/Bonus Cd) by De La Soul
The list author says:
  "Smack in the face of Gangsta. Started the De La legacy (also check De La is Dead and Stakes is High). New stuff might be rubbish but it marks the falling off of a legend. This is wicked."

4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

Full Clip: a Decade of Gang Starr
