Just curious, what do Japanese people think is the greatest hip-hop album of all time?

Japanese people have curious taste in Hiphop since it's impossible for them to understand the words (hell, my dad can't understand them and he's American born and bread); so they evaluate it mostly on beat, delivery, and overall attitude. I'm not sure if there is a consensus pick, but they tend to favor Tupac over Biggie (to my consternation) and struggle to get into a lot of older New York style stuff.
Kanye is big, but you are just as likely to hear someone talking about how dope Kris Brown or the Blackhead Peas are.
