What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I think I've done Wayne breh
yep cool I'll start with Spice and then E-40. Also got the Beastie Boys to do.
Breh, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Not many people can appreciate the everlasting greatness of a Beasties album.

But is it a classic?

@bigboss
'Run-DMC' & 'Raising Hell' are seen as their classic albums. They made albums in a singles era though. Still, Those albums have such a smattering of essential rap songs that they kinda transcend the shortcomings the album format of that era tends to have.
You can throw a dart at the track list of either album and hit an all time classic jam.

@Newportbox every Run DMC album is a classic?

I didn't have a chance to vote, but
the first 3 albums are all classics.
Run DMC, King of Rock and Raising Hell are all essential listening if you are anything more than a casual hip-hop fan. They really set the tone for hip-hop to get out of the 'basement' in a sense, and it showed because rappers were cribbing elements of their rhyme schemes and production well into 88. DMC is one of most unsung rappers of all time, and Jam Master Jay had some of the cleanest cuts in the industry. Raising Hell is their seminal album though and for good reason. It was just a blast to listen to on your boombox, or out of your whip.
Tougher than Leather wasn't a bad album, but hip-hop was starting to shift and they were a step behind.
Back out of Hell was just dated.
Down with the King was actually dope, imo, even though no one really checking for them like that at that point.
Crown Royal was just pathetic.
