have at it

1st list. Bolded the ones I disagree with. Not to say they're bad but 'bonafide classic' seems reserved for the Illmatics and Ready to Dies. Looks like a bitta fan service with a lotta these.

Haven't heard all the albums on the tbh.

Bolded on the second list are the ones I think are classics

 

[supergangster]

According to RapGenius Nas only got 2 classics and that's Illmatic and It was Written.. Humm?

Jay got 3 classics? almost 4 Lol..

 

[Stew]

Our vault is more versatile.

 

[StillFaggyAF]

Shout out rob markman

 

[HustleThaDon]

Why dedication 1 aint up there

And lmao at 808s and heartbreaks being arguable. Shit is coaster status foh

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

Impact

 

[lamontbdc]

No scarface or geto boyz at all....can't fade that list they got Hell Hath No Fury as a classic over Lord Willin...Can't fade that one either

 

[StoneColdMikey]

This isn't bad at all TBH

 

[5 Grand]

LOL @ SSLP.

They must be white. Ain't no brothers bumping that album.

 

[The Recipe]

LOL @ SSLP.

Rap Genius Founders

 

[lamontbdc]

get these crackers outta here

 

[ChillaDaKilla]

No DMX whatsoever. ......Eminem Show ...WTF.. .yea they white they got Atmosphere on here

 

[atribecalledgabi]

Everybody think they qualified to make these lists

 

[qawshun]

So kid cudi has 2 albums better than muddy waters and stillmatic ??? And the slim shady lp is a classic ????? Whew

 

[AP21]

"ctrl +f for juvenile....no results found

hmmm...ctrl+f 400 Degreez....no results found"

list is invalid

 

[just.might.b.ok]

I liked the video the HipHopdx guy did on Redman been one of the goats better:


And i consider his argument about "he hasnt made this type of record" kind of bullshit, but eh, Red could be the goat.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Drake, Kid Cudi, MBDTF, and SSLP aren't classics

Shoulda had Krit Wuz Here in the classic mixtapes

The Roots How I Got Over should have been in either the classic or arguable list.

Lol @ Graduation and 808s and Heartbreak being labeled anything close to classic and I like both albums.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

According to RapGenius Nas only got 2 classics and that's Illmatic and It was Written.. Humm?

They got that part right

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

Listen drake fans, take care is NOT a fucking classic. Stop trying to force one in his discography
