:leon: Most of these albums listed DO have classic status from many different perspectives.

Lost Tapes, Be, Hell Hath No Fury got XXLs
Scarface got 5 mics
Black Album is considered one of the Jay's most memorable albums
Speakerboxx/Love Below was the first rap album
Kanye's last joint got universal critical acclaim.


List title made it seem like these were some underrated joints or some shyt. I know the 2000s with the internet convo and multiple outlets make it harder to have undisputed classics like Illmatic and the Chronic, but these are all mostly praised.
