This is the only album in hiphop history where it don’t get in-depth criticism or hell even praise. It’s kind of cool. Makes it special
There’s some skips on chronic, doggystyle, it was written, all eyes, paid in full etc
Doesn’t mean they ain’t classics

I personally always preferred Ready To Die. 
LAD is good. You could argue it's a straight classic too but it felt slightly bloated and the heavy Bad Boy influence on the album made it feel thematically convoluted. Almost like an identity crisis between the Grimy/Old Biggie and the Flashy/New Biggie.
Ready To Die was more cohesive and had more of a narrative to follow. LAD damn near feels like a Biggie's Greatest Hits album put together by Diddy even though it was thematically supposed to be a sequel to RTD.
That said, if you only have a couple of skips on a double album, that's not enough to remove its classic status.

Illmatic is so overrated. I tried to give it a chance. That is bot Nas best album
Life after is a dbl album. All eyes on me had me skippin too. But its a lot of heat on Life after death. Dope album

There isn't one Hip Hop classic without skippable tracks.
Even the most revered albums that I personally love, have sh*t that I don’t f*ck with on them. Life After Death is no different. Still one of Hip Hop's best albums of all-time, but there's a few tracks on there I never got into.

It’s not quite of classic for me either. If you take the best 10 songs it would be easily. But it’s not better than Ready to Die and I don’t revisit it nearly as often as RTD
