Xzibit's best album, "Nobody Sound Like Me" has one of the sickest beats ever.

All dope albums in their own right (well, except for maybe Jayo) but I have to go with Black Star due to the nostalgia factor.

Whatcha Gonna Do got a couple of good tracks, so does 40 Dayz, Miseducation is too alt./artistic for me and Black Star album I haven't heard (and don't intend to).

My vote goes to Jayo just cuz of the Whatcha Gonna Do song... that beat is too sick.

Just listened to BlackStar after what's seemed like forever. Dope, dope album. Respiration is a good song, but I feel like not enough credit is given to the rest of the album. I was expecting to be disappointed but came out pleasantly surprised. Nice beats, rhymes are really out there and off the chain. Hell yea man. This is nice.
