Looks Like a Job For... (Cold Chillin', 1993) by Big Daddy Kane

In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated hip hop albums ever.  Kane's beat selection makes a smooth transition into the 90s with the assistance of the then unknown Trackmasters production duo.  "Very Special" is a decent love song, and makes up for the stumbles that Prince of Darkness presented with its more soulful approach to the same subject matter.  The title track and "How U Get a Record Deal?" present a very strong opening to the album and "N****z Never Learn" has one of Kane's most incredible flows at the end of the record. When the beat drops out and one of the G.O.A.T. delivers an a cappella rhyme, it is nothing short of astounding.
