If you want a true top ten it would really depend on the generation we're talking about.   Then we can analyze who had the most influence and who had the most technical skill.  But a top ten list would, at they very least, feature

Nas's illmatic
Biggie Smalls's Ready to Die
Eric B & Rakim Paid in Full (or any of their albums)
50's Get Rich or Die Tryin'
Jay-Z's Blueprint (or Black Album though I think Blueprint cemented his legacy)
a Public Enemy album
a KRS-One album
a Wu-Tang album
a Kool G Rap ablum

New York is the mecca.  Shit's hard to touch on with 10 albums so I tried to pick the most influential one's that came to mind.  Technique's Rev Vol 2 is probably one of my favorite hip-hop works from New York.  Reks Grey Hairs/More Grey Hairs.  Saigon's All In A Day's Work.  Papoose mixtapes.  Bunch of dope modern artist that just need to learn how to hustle the mainstream better.

Get Rich or Die Tryin' is a great album, in my opinon; but it doesn't crack the top 10 NYC albums, for me.

From my perspective it was the most influential product from New York in probably a decade.
