This is a list with our top 40 Hip Hop albums of 2005, plus a sizeable section of Honorable Mentions.

Disenchantment with Hip Hop at that time lead Common to drop that strange album, many doubted if Common would ever be able to come back from that.

However, what happened was Common got up with Kanye West and J-Dilla to deliver the album of his career.

Stellar tracks like Testify, The Food, The Corner, and Go are classic Common in fact, the whole album is tight and consistent as can be.

Common would go on to drop a whole bunch of other excellent albums but Be will forever be his magnum opus.

Another one of those albums that received widespread critical acclaim, but no radio play as it was not about guns, money, and bitches but rather about intelligence and upliftment.

Clever rhymes, dope beats, and HEART, this is Hip Hop as it is supposed to be.

Obviously, Rhymesayers co-founders Sean Daley (Slug) and Anthony Davis (Ant) are one of the labels flagship acts, releasing music as Atmosphere since 1999.

You Cant Imagine How Much Fun Were Having, is their fifth album, a release as beautifully crafted and put together as any other album in that entire decade Ant has rarely been better behind the boards, and Slug is just fantastic on the mic.

Zion and Amp Live expand their creative and experimental sounds on the album, featuring a wide range of musical styles, laced with intelligent, socially conscious lyrics.

Amp Lives head-nodding beats are laced with jazzy and elegant musical backdrops, and Zions thoughtful and expressive lyrics complement the soundscapes beautifully.

Guests like Talib Kweli, Aesop Rock, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, and Gift of Gab only add to the quality of the album.

True Livin flew way under the radar in 2005 if you missed it somehow it definitely deserves your attention.

While his previous albums had everything you wanted out of the Broad Street Bully, the music here and the focus he brought with it is amazing.

Facing a prison bid at the time, Beanie would drop classics like Have Mercy, Feel It In The Air, I Cant Go On This Way, and a number of other tracks that set the tone for this slept-on gem.

With aggressive lyrics, booming production that ranged from murderous to upbeat to soulful to despondent at times, Game gives us an album that is beyond what any of us expected.

Singles like How We Do, Dreams, and Hate It Or Love It really made the album what it is today: one of the best-selling Hip Hop albums of the decade, with over 5 million units sold worldwide.

The Jazz Addixx duo gives us a perfect blend of Jazz and Hip Hop with this smooth album.

Oxygen feels like a trip back to Hip Hops Golden Age that will keep your head nodding with nostalgia.

If you have never dug this deep and never peeped this album you are in for a treat add this one to your library and it will become a favorite quickly.

He has released a bunch of excellent solo albums as well, and this one is the best of them all.

The album was the first release from Duck Down Records 2005 Triple Threat Campaign, followed by Buckshot 9th Wonders Chemistry, and Smif-N-Wessuns Smif N Wessun: Reloaded.
