25 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums Of All Time

One of the more recent albums to make this list, Kanye West's fifth studio album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy stands as the rapper's best record. Released in 2010, Twisted Fantasy incorporates many different styles but makes them all work thanks to West's passionate delivery and the record's remarkable production.

With old school hip-hop vibes, R&B and even rock driving the album forward through tracks such as "All of the Lights", "Gorgeous", "Monster" and "Power", Twisted Fantasy acts as a combination of all of West's previous albums. It carries the beats of Late Registration, the experimentation of The College Dropout, and the striking lyrics that helped the rapper make his name.

Between the spotless fusion of sounds and epic guest spots from Rihanna, Jay-Z, Bon Iver and Nicki Minaj, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy easily stands as one of the best rap albums of the 2010s.
