    Budden (If we include mixtapes)
    Weezy
    Luda

    All have a classic album

    Cam has a debatable classic too

    What classic do luda got???

    Haven't went through the full thread but I'm willing to say Word Of Mouf and he came very close with Theater of the mind

    Inspectah Deck-All those classic verses 'Above The Clouds' with Gangstarr,'Triumph', 'Tres Leches' with Pun and Prodigy I could go on for days...and he still hasn't had a classic album. 'uncontrolled Substance' was good, but far from a classic.

    Canibus is an obvious one. 'Rip The Jacket' could be called a classic though

    Method Man and Busta Rhymes have classics. The problem with this is not IF they had classics or not it's the definition of what a classic is. Because UGK has classics but it might not be universally hailed as such. Most people identify a classic by the impact an album had as opposed to the quality of music and what it brought to the game musically and creatively. The Clipse have classic albums but I think if the journalist is saying Pusha don't it's because he identifies a classic by impact. Reasonable Doubt didn't have much of an impact over Hip-Hop but musically it's an amazing piece of work and people don't dispute if it's a classic.

    so if thats the case i guess MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice got classics too..... cos they definitely impacted the game with sales

    They have cult classics..not universal classics

    Word of mouth
    ELE
    Tical
    Www.thug.com
    Kiss of death
    Jealous ones envy
    Purple haze
    Adrenaline rush

    Are personal classics to me..but they aren't universally accepted classics like illmatic or paid in full

    Classic to me is something old that still has replay value in the present day

    So you're telling me that none of the albums those artists dropped are still being played to this day?

    ELE still sounds incredible to this day

    That list is garbage... The term "classic' is so subjective it ain't even funny

    I love illmatic yet I've heard some ppl say its boring and they think IWW is better..people like what they like..

    ? 's the all time "better as a feature artist" king and his real classic was destroyed in RZA's studio flood smh. RZA had to rush to remake Tical and it shows. It was the first Wu solo and yeah we all love Bring the Pain but nobody in their right mind rates it better than the 95 Wu albums for a reason.

    Luda is basically the epitome of what this list is really supposed to be about. Great singles, good to very good albums, but....nah. Theater of the Mind is as close as he's gotten imho.

    Fabolous....no love for Soul Tape? Nah? I always thought Fab's problem was more that he doesn't seem to want to leave his punchline comfort zone and do concept songs etc.

    I thought David Banner was just a producer now lol.

    I liked Trick Daddy back in the day but LOL why is he on this list.

    Wikipedia just informed me that Skillz did a album with Bink! last year apparently???

    Hell Hath No Fury, Extinction Level Event, Carter 1 & 2, Teflon Don, Rich Forever, Purple Haze, all classics. I guess ? done forgot about Jealous Ones Envy after a decade plus of Joe shamelessly pandering to every Pop Rap radio trend. This ? was going back on forth with KRS on the intro for christ's sake lol.

    Mood Muzik 2 >>>>>>>> any hip-hop album from 2006 that doesn't have "Donuts" in the title
