With my 6th round pick, from the Album - Rap / Hip Hop / R&B / Funk category, I'd like to choose N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton (1988).
I can't remember how I came across this album originally. I do remember the impact it had on a 14 year old prairie kid in 88. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had never heard certain words and subject matter used in this fashion. I was literally shell shocked. The attitude of their message was equaled by the attitude of the music. The title track rivals any hip hop/rap track to this day. Never really dug into too much other rap but damn did this have an impact on me.
