Jay said he had 4 classics, but I only count 2...

[SubLyminalz]

group albums dont count.

 

[Digga38]

This topic made ever damn day

i made it the other day!!

 

[atlbound]

group albums dont count.

why not, he's on it. And he wrote for Dre and Eazy didnt he

 

[MINT]

jay ain't even top 5

 

[deadpresidents]

reasonable doubt is his only classic the rest are above average but not classic

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Two for sure: RD and BP

And three maybes: Vol 1, TBA, and AG

 

[T.he I.nformant]

I can MAYBE give him 3...he only had 1 out the gate classic tho...

Which one?

 

[MINT]

agree

 

[spliz]

Which one?

The only album called a classic off rip was The Blueprint...he damn near campaigned for Reasonable Doubt and I think that's his best album...yea..he only legit has 2...

 

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

He has 2 and Nas 1.
Pac is the only one with 3 solo classics imo.

counting group albums as well add Dre (4), Face, Big Boi/3stacks (like 5 classics ) and Cube with 3.

If we talking certified classics, by all hiphop heads.

If we're talking what ones stans consider classics Jay has like 4-5, Nas 4-5, but generally considered classics you are correct. I think every single hiphop head (excluding Nas stans) would say TBA as well if he actually had retired.

cmoooooon man

 

[Da King]

RD classic
BA 4.5/5
BP 4/5
AG 3.5/5
Vol 1 3/5

BP3 2/5

All 5 albums changed the game in the south and hiphop in general.
The two last albums are also among the highest rated albums in the digital era, albums that everyone has heard and loves with about 5 less than super dope songs on all 5 albums. I think both albums are on rollingstones top 500 lists and all that good shyt. If not Speakerboxx/TLB then at least Stankonia shyt is certified.

Outkast discography is unfukkwithable as far as hit/miss ratio goes only Dre and Big is up there for obvious reasons.

 

[MINT]

actually, even rd isn't a classic if we have to talk about the quality of the album..

Idlewild and Spkrbox/TLB? Neither are classics or highest rated...

How da fukk did Stankonia change the game? Southernplay....?

I'll give you ATLiens and Aquemini.

Outkast definitely have a really strong discography, possibly one of the best, but good albums don't = classics.

 

[FuckAllY'all77]

To me its just Blueprint, TBA, and maybe RD

But this thread made me realize, I'm both a Nas and a Jigga stan at the same damn time!
