Does MF DOOM have more than 3 classics?

[THE_R_]

Victor Vaughn a dope album to me as well

I'm glad people mention this because it used to get slept on for some reason... Like he went too left left with it!

HE WAS DROPPING ALBUMS LIKE EVERY 6 MONTHS AT THIS POINT. I FEEL AFTER MADVILLIANY & FOOD DROPPED...VAUDEVILLE KIND OF SLIPPED UNDER THE RADAR...

If you include DangerDoom and the Special Herbs instrumentals box set, you can easily make a case for 3

And imo he'd easily have more than 3 if it wasn't for all the skits and non-rapping tracks

One of my favorite shows off his ability to sample(his pen is cold too on here):


The multi's paired with casual delivery are trademark doom:

...got more “sole/soul” than a sock with a hole.

I DUG THE SKITS...

THE PROB. WITH THE SKITS ON FOOD...

WAS THAT THEY WERE CONSECUTIVE...

POOR SEQUENCING CHOICE IMO...

SHOULD'VE BEEN SPREAD OUT...

I don't even count skits when calling an album a classic. Imo skits don't make the album more or less of a classic. The songs do.

Nah Vaudeville got a couple skippers on it. I agree with Doomsday, Food & Madvillainy.

A lot of great albums have some skippers on them

True. I think Vaudeville is great. Just not a classic, because of the skippers. For me, you can't have skippers on a classic. Doesn't mean it's not great.

But them other three DOOM LPs can rock without me pressing skip.

So Blueprint and Stillmatic didn't have any skip able tracks? College drop out or Get rich or die trying either?

Always said Blueprint & Stillmatic ain't classics TO ME but they're very close. Each have one or two skippers IMO. Everyone's idea of a classic is different. Some niggas think a classic can have skippers on it. That's cool too, but that's them tho.

DANGERDOOM IS DOPE...

IMO skits ruin every album.

Because after you've heard a skit once or twice you never want to hear it again.

For me, a skippable ruinin' a potential classics wipes out too many albums.

One skippable is permissible imo

I respect it. Wiping out mad albums is my exact reason. But it's all opinion at the end of the day.
