Your favorite non westcoast albums

[acgrundy]

I really don't listen to a whole lot of rap outside of westcoast, other than some Biggie, wu tang, bone, scarface, geto boys, nas.  So excluding 36 chambers, life after death, and all of bone and scarface, what would be your guys top 10 non westcoast rap albums?  I'm trying to catch up on some old classics that I missed out on.

Note: Please exclude any G unit and 50 cent, and anything 50 cent has ever even looked at.  Matter of fact, if you are a fan of 50 cent, then I probably won't have the same taste as you, so please don't post in here.
