I have deliberately not defined 'important' to get a wider breadth of answers. It should be reasonably self explanatory that certain albums are important for different reasons thus any answer should take into acount the varying significane of such reasons.

The album with "PSK" on it.

it was self-titled and "PSK" was the only thing significant about it IMO


The most important group: The Roots

i believe LU Cipha is from Pennsylvenia, they're a horrorcore/hip hop group who's got a small following on the net, and have dropped a few albums worth checking out

A little bit, but not on the whole. I mean, is winning a Grammy not significant? And they did it their way too. Will Smith was a goofball. He liked being funny, he liked having a good time, and without this album, there probably would have been no Fresh Prince of Bel Air, no Men in Black, no Ali. Really, it made a name for Philly (who doesn't know, "West Philadelphia, born and raised"?).

And Jazzy Jeff was straight up nasty on the turntables. Even if the content was comical and commercial - though without selling out - it was hip-hop.
