    so illmatic is overrated??? U sit yo ass down. Outkast has 1 maybe 2 real classics. Both of bigs albums were classics. Nas has 2 classics to me. Jay has imo has 3 classics.

    yeah illmatic is over rated.. ? say that is the great album of all time... And u dont call that overated?..

    ? said kast got 1 maybe 2 real classics... Their 1st 3 albums are classics...

    And what 3 albums that jay has that u consider classics?

    I would take away Biggie, he was talented but only has two albums under his belt. I was thinking of taking away Kanye but i remembered that taking away Kanye would mean not only would i take away good albums like CD and Late Rgerisstration but also the amount of dope production he has laced artists such as Nas, Jay, Common etc with, in the end Big was the logical choice.

    Greatest RAP album of all time.

    As far as Kast, to each its own.

    Jay's classics include: RD, BP, and a personal classic of mine American Gangster.

    Yes he has. Eminem helped make hiphop as big as it is. You still dont get it. Eminem was not on the threadstarters list to be deleted. You didnt answer the t/s question. Of course you said eminem because you hate him.

    Heres what I cant understand. You want to be a rapper, but hate on someone that does what you want to do much better than you. How can you not respect the mans talent? But at the same time you strive to be as good as him and have the success he has had.

    In all honestly, I think you have talent which is why this puzzles me.

    ? , we take away Em and we take away delusional obssessive crackas, alot of Em fans aren't fans of Hip-Hop but fans of Eminem only, thats why his sales are so disproportional when compared to other rappers, don't overrate Ems influence.

    Who cares about impact lets talk about quality.

    Biggie has 2 albums, lets say for arguments sake he has 2 classics(even though i don;t agree with this)

    Outkast have 6 albums between them, out of those 6 albums Atliens and Aquemini are certified classic albums, then they have good albums such as Southplayalisticcadillacmuzik, Stankonia and Speakerboxx and the love below(?). Thats 3 or 4 very good albums to Biggies two, then take into consideration Big Bois recent solo efforts and Andre 3000 various quality guest apperances, how can you truly take away Outkast.


    Also they are one of the biggest selling artists in Hip-Hop with the top 3 biggest selling album in Rap with Speakerboxx and The Love Below, so the impact thing can be argued as well, but i don't even want to go there because impact isn't as important as quality of music.
