The Infamous Mobb Deep (Mobb Deep, 2014)
Better than I expected, even given the good reviews. Wish Havoc had a bigger hand in the production, but Illmind's beats are good too. Some of the tracks, like the staggeringly uncreative All a Dream, which has four verses all obviating one Biggie line, are true duds. Lot of really great ones too though.
Nigga Please (Ol' Dirty Bastard, 1999)
For a bit it seemed like it was an all-time great. The initial rush wore off a little after a while but it's compelling throughout. Lines like "If I got a problem, a problem got a problem til it's gone" alone make it worth staying through the more wearying stretches.
