Chaos - The Album
Top tier rappers and they have so many individual classic songs that they can't be overrated, even if we're saying they have no classic albums.
They have great albums that are personal classics for many, just nothing that was remarkable for its impact. Bad timing and some bad production held them back imo. They earned their place but they probably needed a solid Hip Hop producer behind them for a classic album. By the time their Bad Boy LP dropped, the label was running on fumes and that clean production style wasn't the best fit for them. Its not a bad album, it just would have been better if it dropped in 1996. You could say Swizz was the closest with WATS but hes more of a singles producer, he never produced a classic album. Then almost everything else group or solo has had like 20 producers per album so they never really had a signature sound.

Oh my Lord
Yes
How hard is it to just rap about killing people and selling dope and being tough for 90% of an album? And it’s not like you’re racking your brain technically either, just some regular ass simple syllable work and surface ass bars.
.
No disrespect, they’re legends regardless but yeah, blah, not very impressive imo. And, the biggest point, their albums as a collective and as solo acts are all “okay” at the very best,
, none of them have a great album after being here damn near 30 years…probably due to the aforementioned reason, super duper limited scope and concepts/content
