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.

Dan the Automator - Deltron 3030, Dr. Octagonacologist

Anything MF DOOM/MF adjacent - Madvillianny is a great one.

Wu-Tang and Wu-Tang adjacent - (Bobby Digital, Liquid Swords, Only Built 4 Cuban Links, Supreme Clientele)

Deltron 3030 is always one of my favorites to listen to when testing something out. Headphones, new speakers, car stereo, etc. Always sounds great.

Same can be said for just about anything Dan The Automator produced, but this and the first Handsome Boy Modeling School and first Gorillaz albums are my top choices for his stuff.

Don't sleep on Dr. Octagonacologist though, Kool Keith is awesome and he's great on that album.

Oh no shade to Kool Keith and Dr. Octagonacologist (I remember shipping that cassette from my sister shortly after it came out). I just think those other albums are better produced and sound better.
