Born to Mack (Jive, 1987) by Too $hort

The memorable contribution to hip-hop from this set is "Freaky Tales."  The nine and a half minute rap about sexual escapades cemented Short Dog as a playboy in hip-hop culture.  The bass of the beat and the dirty raps are timeless.  There are rappers who adopted a similar approach later, but no one did it as well as $hort's original.  The album cover is really cool too with the clear picture of the Cadillac and Too $hort barely in sight.
