Is Reasonable Doubt the consensus GOAT hip hop album?

[Boolean]

"Oh that shyt was aight when it dropped 15 years ago, but now my nikka, now that shyt is a classic"

you going in on illmatic

 

[mobbinfms]

Wanted to neg, but I'm on my 10's. When I'm off tho...

Got him.

 

[Billy Ocean]

you going in on illmatic

Naw. Illmatic was considered classic the day it dropped.

 

[I love Latina women]

......NO!......

 

[Billy Ocean]

Got him.

My n!gga!

 

[JuvenileHell]

No, but it's Jay's best album hands down, and classic in it's own right.

 

[2stainz]

so RD is Jays best album.....and Jay is the goat.....therefore, RD is goat? ....makes sense, even the guy who negged me agrees

 

[infamousred]

no, but i'd say it's the 2nd most balanced album as far as beats and rhymes go behind illmatic. oh and anyone talking about rewriting history and then going on to say that iww is classic or better than rd is a fukking idiot. i just felt it needed to be said since either rd or iww comes up in every last thread the other one is talking about.

Retrospect, Concept, are u kidding me ?

the album had zero impact when it was released, ZERO... it was an ant amongst GIANTS that year, it is what we thought it was the day it was released, the engineering and wordplay didn't evolve through your disc or cassette over the years... get over it .

Jay is one of the nicest to ever grab a mic, but lets keep it fresh playboy...

this is completely false. It got more burn than the following in streets:

Ironman
Hell On earth
Muddy Waters
Wrath Of The Math



I was there. You can't lie to me like you do these feeble posters. Album was the choice of any and every dude involved even peripherally in street life.

doggstyle,rtd, e1999, the chronic,lr,cd,aquemini,idahih>>>>

 

[the cac mamba]

its easily a classic, but not the GOAT

gimme cuban linx over this any day, for this genre. infamous, ready to die

 

[BlackMajik]

That's not even a classic imo lol

 

[mr.africa]

no

 

[MR. Conclusion]

Yeah it's a classic...sort of

It's one of the top two albums from a top 5 goat candidate. It did get a some burn/respect from underground heads.

But...

There was a ridiculous amount of sick albums dropping during that time frame. Really hard to stand out even with an album as dope as RD.

No, it's not a goat album contender.
