Native Tongues have more classics than Wu-Tang, Deathrow or any other crew

[CarltonJunior]

They're not all classics. Enter the Wu Tang and Cuban Linx for sure. Liquid Swords, SC, and Iron Man are arguably. Maybe Forever is arguable but that's a stretch. Nothing else on that list is a classic.

Wu-Tang Forever is arguable? Your opinion is trash OP

well, i was going by the typical sell out bad boy formula at the time(obvious smooth sample, singer on hook). there's a noticable difference between "it's yourz" and "mo money mo problems".

I understand that...all I was saying is that despite that glaring difference, it's doesn't change the mission.
Wu-Tang wants folks to remember and say the words to their song, like Bad Boy did also...it doesn't make
it less "real" for Wu to have a part in their single for crowd participation and whatnot.

like real talk
i only started hearing its a classic album when the internet got poppin in da early '00
all dem years before -it was a solid album no more no less

shyt, i even went to 'rateyourmusic.com' 1995 hip hop albums just to double check if their something i was missing
and truth be told - i was right its rated the 24th hip hop album of '95 with a rating of 3.5 outta 5

(now dont get me wrong i dont swear by there site/ratings BUT i do think for the most part they represent albums fairly)

Fresh, you're making my point for me. A true classic is recognized as a classic regardless of cultural fluctuations.

By who though?
The problem is alot of you nikkas blindly believe the world agrees with YOU.

I gotta go with Wu personally, but it's a generational thing with some of those early Native Tongue albums.

I didn't see the appeal of Jungle Brothers or even Tribe on their first album (I was 9-10 when those projects dropped), but Enter the Wu came out when I was high school. So I was there with them from the beginning.

What makes them undeniable? Truth be told,only a few (if that) really meant alot to hiphop as a whole during their runs

[Da Rhythm Rebel]

De La has more classic albums than Tribe I do know this

 

[IntellectualViolence]

I agree, Wu is over appreciated, Native Tongues are under appreciated.

Oh, I thought Tribe's first album came out in 89, but it was 90. Still the gap between an 11 year old to a high schooler in terms of music taste is huge.

Most 10-11 year olds listen to the most popular stuff (I was listening to Mc Hammer, Heavy D, Public Enemy), and then when you get to high school you start to listen to a more diverse group of artists.

The native tongues will never mean what deathrow did,not even close
