I was never on SOHH a.k.a. a.k.a . Those fukkers never accepted my email registration, even though it was a paid for email address.

You might be thinking of Reincar. He's one of the mods of the locker room and was banned on a few times. He's from Toronto.

This is a good thread and I realise I still have many albums to at least try out (I've never even listened to the roots at all really).

I don't know if it's "classic", but styles p's gangsta and a gentleman is a great albu
, listen to it for a whole year when it came out and still sounds great now.

 

[BIGDENNIS10UK]

Oh yeah, big l's album isn't clasdic to me, just seems like some people say that when they reminisce.

 

[BIGDENNIS10UK]

Murda Muzik by mobb deep was a great album to me

Quiet storm

 

[Trill Evans]

Black Moon - Enta Da Stage
Onyx - All We Got Iz Us

 

[Capitol]

I would take off Can I Borrow a Dollar and replace it with Like Water For Chocolate and or Be. Add J. Dilla's Donuts. Dj shadow's entroducting, Game - The Documentary. Add the fix for Scarface as well. Kanye West - The College Dropout is def a classic man

 

[Emperor Sol]

I just added a lot more albums to the list here

Thanks to all your help there are over 170 albums on here. Some of the albums I choose not to add because I'm not sure if you can really call them classics and also because I don't have an unlimited amount of space to work with. But if more people speak up I'll put them in eventually.

 

[Jimmy Smash]

No love for MBDTF ???

 

[Jimmy Smash]

Watch The Throne & Enigma there but no MBDTF, Muddy Waters & American Gangster ?

 

[Jimmy Smash]

This list

 

[Michael Knight]

The only Ye albums that should be there are his first 2 and MAYBE his 3rd.

I would take off Can I Borrow a Dollar and replace it with Like Water For Chocolate and or Be

Watch The Throne & Enigma there but no MBDTF, Muddy Waters & American Gangster ?

Jay-Z has 3 or 4 classics, depending on how you look at it. His debut, The Blueprint and The Black Album are undeniably classic. American Gangster was kind of boring and not everybody agrees on that as classic, sorry. When I get more opinions I'll add it.

What stops Kanye from having undeniable classics is the fact that his lyrics often don't quite match up to his production.

I forgot to add Muddy Waters
