It's a classic. Just because they fell off the face of the earth doesn't mean they didn't drop a classic that was universally hailed.
Native Tongues have more classics than Wu-Tang, Deathrow or any other crew

Wtf are you talking about "not be taken seriously?" You can argue that either album was better but AWISC was more critically acclaimed and acknowledged as a classic than Liquid Swords.

Liquid Swords isn't universally hailed? What world do you live in?
I actually agree that they do.
Tribe had 3 classics
De La has 3 classics
Black Sheep has 1 classic
Jungle Brothers have 1 classic
(Not even counting Pharcyde, Brand Nubian, Common, Mos Def)
Wu has 2
Rae has 1
Ghost has 2
GZA has 1
Death Row
Snoop has 1
Dre has 1
Dogg Pound has 1
2Pac has 2

Liquid Swords aint a classic? My mind is blown right now.
Love De La, but they don't have 3 UNIVERSALLY considered classics. Black Sheep album is not a classic. Neither is Jungle Brothers.

I disagree. I think they're all classics. Only one really arguable to me is the third classic for De La but I think Stakes is High is pretty universally excepted as one. Jungle Brothers first album is unquestionably a classic. I didn't even bring up Forces of Nature which might even be better than their first joint. That's not really debatable. Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is somewhat but not really. It's a very impactful and important album and also arugably the best rapping performance of any Native Tongue member on an album.

Tribe first 3 albums are all classic. There's really no legit argument against it
Jungle Brothers debut album got 5 mics in the Source, majority of the albums we're discussing did not. If anything it's one of the more universally excepted classics of the ones we're discussing.
What you're saying is the equivalent of someone saying that Don Mattingly is a Hall of Famer. Just because an album was dope doesn't mean it's a classic. Neither Black Sheep's album or Jungle Brother's album is a universal classic. Saying they are is fuel to these new age hip hoppers claiming that 90's heads think every 90's album is a classic. Neither of those albums had the impact or critical acclaim than Supreme Clientele or Liquid Swords.
