Number 1
The Low End Theory (Jive 1991)
Ohio Players - Angel (Mercury 1977)
Personally I think "The Low End Of Theory" is undoubtedly one of the best Hip Hop albums that came out of the golden era of Hip Hop. Amazing lyricism laced with bass heavy jazzy loops. Extremely novel and progressive at the time, this added to the groups growing legacy as untouchable pioneers in Hip hop.
The cover art also has one of my favorite albums cover art selves across the multi faceted genres of music I listen to and own. Apparently the inspiration for this cover was based on 1970's Funk band Ohio Players whose albums covers were always were somewhat risky and controversial. They customised their silhouetted lady by painting the model red, black and green.
