I'm going to assume that's to throw people off the scent given there was just a big 30th anniversary repress of Licensed to Ill. I mean most of the Beastie catalog was released with color variants. Licensed to Ill was not though.
The only LL Cool J album that's important would be Radio and that's a stretch.

Got a feeling it’s gonna be License to Ill. Came out in 86 which would make Classics be a 1968 release, which also feels right.
Kind of mixed on this because cool it’s great to see BB as a ROTM, but License to Ill is probably my least favorite album of theirs.

Run DMC’s Raising Hell has a song called “Dumb Girl” not their finest moment but it fits the clues
Me too exact same reason lol
It's critically lauded though & I thought previously it could be this too

I was more refering to the song Dumb Girl being not their finest moment as I think Raising Hell truly fits the clue about being one of if not THE most important rap albums of all time!

from the wiki on Raising Hell:
"Public Enemy's Chuck D considers Raising Hell to be the greatest hip-hop album of all-time, and the reason he chose to sign with Def Jam Records. "

No worries! I reread it thinking, did I just shit on one of my all-time favorite albums? The first cassette I bought with my own money and the reason I started listening to rap music in the first place? Turns out it kind of looks like I did! LoL
Wow yeah that's definitely not a good look lol

Y'all already know Essentials.
Released 18 years apart, both the Classics and the RHH album have songs about Girls.
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill ("Girls", 1986)
BB King - Lucille ("Country Girl", 1968)

I really hope its not Licensed to Ill. With the first clue being "maybe the most important rap album of all time", this one didn't even cross my mind.
But it's kinda looking like it might be...

I'm thinking Run DMC's Raising Hell is still in contention "Dumb Girl" and it would still be the 1968/1986 years, which do sound right here.
FWIW, I think it's easier to argue Run DMC as being the most important ever than with the Beastie Boys.

I'd rather a copy of raising hell on green/purple neon maybe
