99.9% of mainstream hip hop sucks, and so do most of the artists on your list. And DJ Shadow isn't hip hop, otherwise half your list should be filled with sweet DJs.

Edit: I just realized I was ripping on your choices. *world's smallest violin playing*

 

[acidviper]

No Dre, No Big. Ouch.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

[miyuru]

There's a few albums that I can listen to without skipping a track. I'm not going to make a list, but "Chronic 2001", "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'", "Archetype" (Tonedeff) come to mind as I've been listening to them recently.
