Rappers that have a "Big 3".

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.

Mhm.

Big Noyd is hilariously underrated. He killed all of his features on The Infamous and Mobb's unreleased shyt. His verse on "Right Back At You" was nuts

But I guess in the bigger picture he will always be to Mobb Deep what AZ was to Nas

art of war was not a damn classic

I AGREE,but it's a number of non classic albums in this thread you failed to object to.
And most of them are east coast albums that were praised by powerful east coast publications or praised by powerful people,YET MEANT NOTHING TO THE GENERAL CONSUMERS.

Who cares about general consumers? The core audience is what matters.

I'm a realist. As a fan of bone. Art of war means alot to me. Alot of memories from that abum. But i know it didnt touch the people the way the previous two albums did. I think that's a fair view. But east coast "heads" like to take albums that meant something to them (or albumd they were told should mean something to them) and hold those albums in higher regard than albums that were waaaaay more cherished in the strrets and commercially. Thats being bias and unrealistic. I rather keep it real

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Art of War is a classic. I don't care what you nikkas say

To all of y'all that say that Em aint got Three classics, where were you between 99-03?

I would like to add Ludacris too, but it might just be for me that Incognegro, Back for the first time and Word of mouf are classics. Which im cool with if not all of y'all agree with me on. WOM is a Classic though
