I liked The Realness more than The Testament

No.
But it's a dope project...
I read in the mid 2000's that Mega had to buy the album off Def Jam for 200 or 300k so he can release it independently

Ah.
I feel it's borderline classic. Or classic. It's really dope.
Realness is great.
Testament was like the Boogyman Mega.
I remember ppl waiting on him. The Nas beef.
Then Montana Diaries, fukk Nas, One Love.
He had this crazy sinister vibe about him.
Crazy even. Wild.
But straight dope.
It's like his image came first - and he completely delivered with the music.
So much greatness came out of Queensbridge.

Mega Philosophy is a dope album also
Yes.
Don't front on me, shorty, your man is working for me
Crazy.
Benny has deep business rhymes - Cormega dropped them first tho!
We have to remember that.

The Realness is a personal classic to me. The Testament is good too though.

True Meaning is his best album IMO. That was a true classic. 5 mic calibre album, not one skipable track.

If you have to ask if an album is a classic then you should know the answer

I have to check the whole thing.
I don't know. I'm more asking for a Coli consensus.
I haven't personal classics. But then there's albums that are widely regarding as classics.
Testament business wise had major setbacks.
Musically tho, it's on point.
Here's the promo ad for it - even tho it never dropped near that time. It's like it was just about to drop perfectly.

Still tight that they removed it from Apple Music
