all of these albums were considered genre defining and universal classics at the time of their release... each took hip hop in a totally different direction... but which one was the best or at least the one you prefer and why....? let's discuss...

my opinion on this isn't going to be popular but here it is....

sonically: chronic, paid in full, it takes a nation, illmatic
lyrically: illmatic, paid in full, it takes a nation, chronic
impact: chronic, illmatic, it takes a nation, paid in full
my preference: chronic, paid in full, it takes a nation, illmatic

what's your take....
