Is Reasonable Doubt the consensus GOAT hip hop album?

[Balan]

Naw. Illmatic was considered classic the day it dropped.

How the fuk can any album be labelled a classic on the day it drops? Nas stans I tell ya

It was. You know it. I know it. Illmatic was labeled a classic the day it dropped. Sort of like hip hop's birth of Jesus, breh. It is what it is

Jay stans I tell ya

 

[CoCKy GeNiuS]

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.

outkast atliens

busta ryhmes the coming

Pac Makavelli

Mobb Deep Hell on Earth

Ghostface Ironman

Fugees The Score

Nas It was written

Now who am I trying to fool, there is a list of MOST albums that came out in 96, still missing a couple.... Quit playing dude, u know like I know which ones made an impact....

Nahh fuk that bullshyt. Your just being a Nas dikk licker now. Albums can only be labelled classics if they hold the test of time. Fact.

Just because you and your boyfriends were shouting classic after you finished listening to Illmatic the first time dont really mean that it was considered a classic on the day it dropped.

Eat a d!ck, breh. Got your panties in a bunch because Jay HAD TO TELL YOU his album was a classic before you started claiming it as a classic. The streets, hip hop media and anyone that ever listened to Illmatic when it dropped knew what it was.

[lutha]

not to me....but that's not a knock against it cause neither is illmatic, doggystyle, or any other album you wanna name...cause there is no goat album, just like there isn't a goat rapper....it's all opinion....

Translation: "I know you're right Billy Ocean. Thank you for the tuturial"

Out of all of them albums u pick at The Roots

I sure do. A Roots album that while good, failed to sell what Reasonable Doubt did even with its veiled attempt at ironic crossover hit single and got ZERO burn in the damn streets.

what about them heavy hitters on that list, what instant impact did they have in 96 ?

 

[Big Mel]

Mostly gold. Like RD. some of those are straight comedy choices. I never even heard Do Or Die outside of Po Pimp.

I can tell you're from a flyover state
