If you only want to count solo albums, that's 9 solos; granted, I think "More Fish" was underwhelming (though it had its moments) and Ghostdeini really wasn't for everyone (and we have no idea on Apollo Kids), but that's a damn solid run that contains a handful of albums that would be a peak for any other rapper. Add in to that his role in all the Wu albums, and his second-fiddle role on OB4CL and (II), and I think you've got something. On that note, dude has had a major role in 18 albums over the last 15 years, which is crazy.
If you're willing to play with the number of albums a bit, then the award clearly goes to Radiohead. 8 albums since 1995 (if you count "I Might Be Wrong (Live)" and "In Rainbows" disc II/bonus as albums), and not a single misstep.
