Those are some albums i have that i really like.Which ones do you think are classics.I find these albums to be under-rated.
i'm going to be so bold as to say you are either crazy or on crack. calling anything styles p has made a "classic" is like saying that bizarre is a little chunky. you also have a very apparent bias toward not only a certain period in hip hop, but also the north east coast, obviously.
6 Feet Deeps-Gravediggaz
--great album, opened a lot of doors, but really this is just rza and paul's responsibility
A Gangster and A Gentleman-Styles P
--when i read this i almost puked, then i laughed
aka Da Rugged Child-Shyheim
--easily forgettable album. pretty much only even knew his name form his wu affil.
At The Speed of Life-Xzibit
--like your only west album and it's average.
Blacktrash-The Autobiography of Kirk Jones-Sticky Fingaz
--i don't like to be yelled at
H.N.I.C-Prodigy
--monotone, boring thug crap. you're not nas.
Heavy Mental-Killah Priest
--one of my personal favorites, slightly depressing album, but no one knows of this album so it's not classic
Here To Save You All-Chino XL
--longwinded punchline songs that are overall empty in content. he says "like" or "as" about 5 zillion times.
Legal Drug Money-Lost Boys
--rene was the best song and it was a remix not on the album lol. ok album, i'd never play it again though.
Manchild-Shyheim
--shyheim fan are we? this was like listening to kriss with out the kross for me.
No Said Date-Masta Killa
--masta killa is monotone and boring. there's a reason he was the last wu solo. even u-god's crap was better.
Quality Control-Jurassic 5
--good album, but not a classic
Rip The Jacker-Canibus
--every 6 months we all say damn he has another album out? three good songs, 7 filler songs.
Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars-Killarmy
--booooring. 9th prince sounds like a retard and baretta 9's balls never dropped. sound like kids playing wu-tang.
State Of The Arts-Afu Ra
--his video cut was ok, but yeah that's about it
The Marshall Mathers LP-Eminem
--amazing album. full of anger. flawless minus real slim shady.
The Realness-Cormega
--cormega is boring.
The War Report-Capone N Noreaga
--two average talent guys who i would never spend a dollar on
Uncontrolled Substance-Inspectah Deck
--some good songs, but in the end he's no rae or ghost
Venni Vetti Vecci-Ja Rule
--come on. yeah people were bumping this, but once his street cred was exposed shortly after we all laughed at it
Warriorz-MOP
--someone tell them to stop yelling. every song sounds like antie up.
sorry i just destroyed your list, but seriously, only like one or two deserve to be called classics, and even then i'd use that term very sparingly.
what's a classic? kings of rock is a classic. compton is a classic. the purple tape is classic. it's the albums that other rappers imitate, not the ones we forget about in a month.
