If there's one album that defines the old school sound, it's the soundtrack for "Wild Style". The Grandwizard Theodore cuts are classic, particularly the Subway Theme, which to this day remains one of the most recognizable beats. The Rhymes by the Cold Crush Brothers, Busy Bee, and the other emcees are entertaining. In my opinion, "Wild Style" is one of the three best albums from the first five years of recorded hip hop.
Honorable Mention:
Whodini - Whodini
