Name the classic albums these rappers have?

Im shocked so many people label the black album a classic. I always felt like the black album was just a good project. 1-2 songs always sucked and a cpl aged horribly

Black album is jays best work. The skits, the music, the videos, the gladiator reference, it was a perfect album
 
Black album was dope to me. "What more can I say". "Lucifer.". "Encore". "PSA". "99 Problems". Even "Changed Clothes" was dope to me.

Only song I really don't like is "Dirt of your shoulders". Loved that song back then, but that joint aged terribly.

For an album to be a classic, it can't have more than two songs that I skip. To see some of the lists on here, y'all gotta be skipping at least five songs on some of these CDs. Seeing 500 Degreez on anyone's is beyond offensive. I would give MBDTF a classic rating but there's like four songs I can't listen so it doesn't make the cut. Do some of y'all know what a classic is? It's basically perfection.
so the only 3 three classics in my life would be kush and orange juice , cabin fever , and fabo's there is no competition one..........only skippable tracks on one of each of wiz's tapes - the demi lovato one in the beginning of kush and oj ( i dont like the song but its still nostalgic and "part" of the cohesiveness of the tape now for me) and wtf is "middle of you" on cabin fever :|  ......fabos tinc 1 though , perfection , punch after punch 


only classic album , not one skippable song is kiss land to me if i follow your terms lol 

That's what makes classics so rare. People throw that term around way too freely. If you skip four or five songs on an album, how can you call it a classic. You're skipping those songs because they're flaws on the album. Also impact, lyricism, production and other factors. I can't call an album a classic but can't listen to a quarter of the album. That's just me, everyone else has their own requirements for a classic.

MBDTF has no skippable tracks to me besides Fergies verse on All Of The Lights lol, the rest is great to me

Same with every other album i have a classic with the exception of MMLP. I was actually on the borderline bout that one

12 years later, Allure is the only one that doesn't make me want to skip. I loathe every one of the singles besides "What More Can I Say", back then and today.

You can make it through SSLP & MMLP without skipping more than 2 tracks?

GOD bless you.

Ditto :lol

Both are dope albums, but from SSLP, Guilty Conscience, Role Model, and Bad Meets Evil are the only songs that I've always come back to, from from MMLP it's Stan, The Way I Am, B Please II, and Remember Me. And Under The Influence here and there.

Nas - Illmatic, It Was Written

Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint

Eminem - MMLP

Kendrick Lamar - None

Lil' Wayne - Tha Carter

Kanye - College Dropout
 
I don't skip nothing on MMLP except for Real Slim Shady. I know every damn word on that album. We already know what Nas and Jay's classics are. We all got opinions but I don't understand how some y'all don't have GKMC as a classic, that's crazy. How you don't have College Dropout AND Late Registration as classics is ******ed also. I mean I'm not that big of a fan of Tha Carter 1 or It Was Written but I recognize that most people have them as classic albums.

I'm curious as to how some of y'all don't consider Reasonal Doubt a classic.

Listening to it as a grown man, I got a whole different perspective on it. That album has aged wonderfully. "Ain't no *****" might be the worst song on there, and it's still some fly jiggy sht
 
come to think about it , volume 2 might be my favorite jay z album.......ive never completely checked out reasonable doubt , im about to though 
 
Lmao how does Kanye have 0 classic albums.
laugh.gif
He doesn't have any straight up

I can't play a Kanye album all the way through plus after awhile his rapping gets annoying

I strait up look down on ppl's musical taste when they dont rank RD as a classic or one of JZs best work ( i may have mercy in considering your age group in search for understanding)

The complex emotional and lyrical depth of that album melts into the sonically enriched production forming a timelessly potent offering Mr. Carter has never been able to recapture since.

It's for sure a classic but I can't say it's far and away his best. Blueprint and RD are neck and neck for me. But I'll definitely agree that RD has aged so well. Dead Presidents and Can't Knock the Hustle are incredible singles.
 
Vol. 1 >>>> RD


Vol. 2 is underrated as hell. That **** was cold as ****. Played that **** the **** out back in the day.


I skip more than a quarter and damn near half of CD and LR. I know NT loves Kanye but those aren't classics to me. If he cut each into half, much better albums.
