Are there any other hip-hop albums out there that sound like "Enter The Wu-Tang"?

Other than perhaps Public Enemy's "Fear Of A Black Planet", this is the only rap album I 100% embrace as far as music style and musical quality is concerned. RZA's beats on Wu's debut (and some songs on the second record) are actually very musical and resemble Industrial/electronic music to an extent. I think Hip-Hop should have gone in that direction but ultimately it went in the exact opposite (which is why we have 50 Cent and other garbage). Other hip-hop records have great rapping but the beats are almost always heavily sampled from something else (usually funk or soul) and the percussion is annoyingly too prominent and obnoxious, What other rap artists out there make songs like Mystery of Chessboxin or Bring Da Ruckus? The closest I've heard was a couple songs off Onyx' "Bacdafucup" album.
