Do you consider Ruff Ryders Vol.1 a classic album?

[28 Gramz]

My 1999 Summer was ran by this album and Guerilla Warfare, I ran it back last night and only skipped one or two joints, personal classic for me.

 

[FreshAIG]

4 Mics. Maybe 4.5

This was the best joint imo

Gangsta Boo cameo at 3:00 mark in 'Down Bottom' video

 

[Asicz]

Album hit 1 on Billboard 200. Went Plat.

 

[StretfordRed]

Grew up on this album!

Classic to me. Even the Parle RnB song.

This was the best joint imo

Might have to add .5 just because of the passage of time and lyricism and quality compared to now imo

 

[RIPODB]

4 Mics.

Kinda forgot on some retcon shyt that there was a Down Bottom video. That Juvenile verse with its iconic opening bars was swapped for Swizz's artist Young Wun in the video version. Smh

 

[Asicz]

Those Swizz instrumentals are inarguably definitive "it bangs in the whip" beats especially songs like "Down Bottom"

 

[Asicz]

Swizz cranking out High School Football team practice/game anthems back then.

 

[Food Mane]

Grew up on this album!

Classic to me. Even the Parle RnB song.

parle is what made this a classic

 

[Asicz]

You got high mic skills and high crank with these songs.

Now with retardo drill you just have high crank but no bars

[Asicz]
