From your list, only 2Pac passes the test........and possibly Jay Z. I scratched out the albums from Eric B/Rakim and PE that have no business being called classics.
I see that you ignored 2Pac's '2Pacalypse Now', 'Thug Life', and 'Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z' albums and included the weaker 'R U Still Down' album. You said 4 straight albums because you're trying to use 'Thug Life' as a loophole to diminish Pac. Your east coast biased ass is not slick.
Anyway, here's the evidence for Pac...........
All 6 of these albums could be played at a bbq in 2015 and have the crowd moving. -
^^^^^^funny thing is Tupacalypse now rarely gets talked about, that ? came out in 92, half these ? were'nt even born or were in diapers, cats know about the last albums of his life but can't really tell you ? about earlier ones
-
Lotta reachin. Nobody, not one artist or group in the history of hip hop has 4 classics in a row. Get the ? outta here. It's hard to find artists with 4 legitimate classics, now they had em in a row?? C'mon g. We need to take it back to the drawing board with this classic ? , ya'll gettin way too loose. Every dope album ain't a classic.
