Three 6 Mafia - Mystic Styles - After putting out dope underground albums in the city for so long it was cool to see the hometown cats drop this on a national level

Makaveli - The Don Killuminat: The 7 Day Theory - Never was a Pac fan, but this album made me appreciate him and his catalog for what he was.

Gza - Liquid Swords - This solidified my Wu fandom. Loved Enter the 36, Tical, Return to the 36, and the OB4CL, but it was this album that made me the fan that I am today.

Tru - Tru 2 Da Game - I really didn't become a 'Kast fan until Aquemini dropped and I was out of high school and Ball and G's important album came out when I was in jr high, but I was deep into my Wu fandom by this time, but this was the only album that I would listen to other than any Wu offerings.
