Which rap albums are everyone's cup of tea?

I'm trying to find as many rap albums as I can that have universal appeal. I'm not necessarily talking about the best albums of all time. For example, if one of your friends thought rap was about nothing but hood talk, you wouldn't want to recommend something like Illmatic or 36 Chambers. What are some rap albums where the listening experience is likely to go down well with everyone? So far I have:
Midnight Marauders - A Tribe Called Quest
Me Against the World - 2Pac
Raising Hell - Run DMC
Blackstar - Mos Def and Talib Kweli

What am I missing?
@Mr. Peepers: People who like hoodtalk also tend to like the albums I listed. I didn't pick just any soft, conscious rap album, I chose each one carefully with everyone in mind. I mean really, you'll be hard-pressed to find someone in this world who absolutely hates Midnight Marauders, even if they're into the raw street music.
