Rhymes: Greatest Albums of All Time (Nominations)

I have decided to compile a list of my favorite albums of all time, key word being favorite.
The criteria:
- Must be an official release (No mixtapes, bootlegs, advances, etc)
- Must be a full length album (No EPs or Compilations)
- Must have the entire album on my iTunes
- Must rate atleast a 4.5/5 total.
