4, 5, 6 (Cold Chillin', 1995) by Kool G. Rap

Lyrically and rap-wise, this album is incredible.  Kool G. Rap is one of the best rappers ever period.  His multi-syllablic rhymes allow him to fit an incredible amount of words into every bar without rapping too fast beyond comprehension.  As far as production, Dr. Butcher produces a lot of the album's material.  However, his beats aren't quite on par with what G. Rap has rhymed over in the past.  The album's highlight is the Buckwild-produced "Fast Life" which features Nas and makes better use of the Surface sample than R. Kelly would three years later on "Only the Loot Can Make Me Happy."
