fukk a big 3 we got a big 30

 

[Big Mel]

ATCQ - first 3
Ghost - Cuban Linx, Ironman, SC
Krs - Criminal Minded, By All Means, Return Of The Boom Bap
Ice Cube - Straight Outta Compton, AMW, DC
Dr Dre - Straight Outta Compton, Chronic, 2001
EPMD - first 4
Rakim - first 3


Those are really the only locks. Outkast, Gang Starr, De La, Face, Redman, Public Enemy, Mobb Deep all have arguments.

 

[mobbinfms]

Mobb Deep: The Infamous, Hell On Earth, Murda Muzik

Wu-Tang Clan (Solos) Liquid Swords, ONly Built For Cuban Linx and IronMan.

I would throw Big Noyd's EP in there too. Hav produced basically the whole thing and Prodigy is on a good chunk o the album. They bodied that album too. First time I heard it I had to run it right back and listen again.

 

[Big Mel]

Oh, and I suppose Pac though I disagree.

 

[mobbinfms]

And what I mean by that is rappers that have 3 main classic albums.

Jay-Z
Reasonable Doubt
The Blueprint
The Black Album

Nas
Illmatic
It Was Written
Stillmatic

Redman
Whut? Thee Album
Dare Iz a Darkside
Muddy Waters

Ghostface Killah
Ironman
Supreme Clientele
FishScale

Common
Resurrection
Like Water for Chocolate
Be

Those are the main ones that come to mind but I'm sure there's more.

Can't say the Black Album or LWFC are bonafide classics

 

[mobbinfms]

Eminem:
Slim Shady LP
Marshall Mathers LP
The Eminem Show

Kanye West:
The College Dropout
Late Registration
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

A Tribe Called Quest:
People's Instinctive Travels & the Paths of Rhythm
The Low End Theory
Midnight Marauders

Maybe I'll give you Marshall Mathers, but that's it. Kanye is tough. Sometimes I feel like all three are classics and sometimes I feel they all fall just short due to filler.

 

[mobbinfms]

DOOM

Operation Doomsday
MM FOOD
Madvillainy

No to Mm Food. But he does have two.

 

[45123]

Maybe I'll give you Marshall Mathers, but that's it. Kanye is tough. Sometimes I feel like all three are classics and sometimes I feel they all fall just short due to filler.

Neither Late Registration or MBDTF have fillers
