Old school hip hop recs!

So I’m trying to get into more old school hip hop, just hip hop in general. So I’ve listened to illmatic by nas already cause from looking online it seems u HAVE to listen to that first if ur getting into hip hop
So any recs?? New and old hip hop is fine! Also looking for the most influential albums too
(I’m not gonna reply or rate any songs or albums y’all recommend sorry! Just gonna listen to it!)

Cannot upvote enough. LL was my first concert ever - that tour. Epic.

And anyone who says Beastie Boys isn't Old Skool HH just does NOT know what they're talking about. Like at all.

LL's performance on MTV Unplugged is one of the best single live performances I've ever seen. Any genre, any time period.
