The 80 Best Produced Hip Hop Albums of All Time

Over the decades, hip hop has seen its fair share of legendary producers ; from Dr. Dre to Marley Marl, RZA to Pete Rock, DJ Quik to Mannie Fresh.
When you think about it, great production is really what separates the best hip hop albums of all time, from the rest of the pack. There have been countless amazing rappers throughout history who never got their time in the spotlight due to their weak production choice.
Think about how many times you've zoned out of listening to an artist rap because the production was back, regardless of how dope the bars were. The beats, samples, and overall sound of the record are what keep us coming back for more.
On this list, we rank the 80 best produced hip hop albums of all time; from Doggystyle and Liquid Swords to Illmatic and The Blueprint .
