As far as the "great" rap albums go...
NWA - "Straight Outta Compton"
Nas - "Illmatic"
Notorious BIG - "Ready to Die" and "Life After Death"
Uh, so those all start with the n-letter. Not important, just saying...
And I must point out my favorite hiphop album, ever.
Blackstar - "Blackstar" This is a collabortive ablum from Mos Def and Talib Kweli. Both men are amazing lyricists and their music tries to go beyond the 'killing bitches, thug life' standard of most rap music. Mos Def's early stuff is fantastic...later on he tried to do some rock/rap stuff- avoid that shit like the plague. Pretty much everything Talib Kweli has done is really good.
I know this might sound a little obvious, but try downloading some "best of..." albums to get an idea for what part of an artist's career you like, then go for those albums.

The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
