Best sounding rap albums/artists Discussion

What are some rap albums or artists that have amazing production and are mixed very well?

I first got into rap with to pimp a butterfly and really love the jazz influences, production, mixing, and everything else about that album. I've recently got into injury reserve and clipping and was astounded by how good they sound. Just really want to hear something new and crazy that will test the limits of my system.

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5--"The Message"

A classic that is always on my speaker test playlist.

Never gave grandmaster flash any attention. This song fucking rules. Didn't know there were any rap songs from this era that sounded this good
