Besides the two in OP WOLF is the closest thing.

Wolf was dope! I agree but can't call it a classic due to lack of impact.
Cherry Bomb was mixed so awful I couldn't enjoy it. Maybe I should revisit it though.

I feel you. With me It's hard for me to hear what people mean when they say things were mixed bad.
Cause with cherry bomb for example I bought the CD so I'm guessing It made a difference. Also w/ Enter the Wu Tang for instance i always imagine critics at first said it was mixed bad. Tyler's known to do things atypical, and he studies production like a mfer, so if different tracks were diff i think he did it on purpose. Could you explain what you expect in mixing? I wanna learn...

No.
Frank Ocean's only potential classic is Blonde and that's still TBD, but it's looking good. But he was so distant from the group that I wouldn't even think of him as a main member. He was most likely affiliated because it was the best for everyone's careers at the time and closeness with Tyler.
b*stard and Earl were both solid projects but idk if they hold up. Idek if they'll have the same impact in the future that they had on that time period. Classics should be impactful no matter the time.
The thing I'll give to odd future is their cultural impact. I truly think they helped shift the zeitgeist some, especially amongst the younger demographic. They'll be to others what adult swim was to me and others, something that molds and shapes.
Personally, the only person I still listen to out of that group is Earl, and even he hasn't dropped a classic yet. I think Tyler's annoying now and i haven't fukked with anything from wolf til now. Haven't heard anything from anybody else and don't want to.
What I wanna hear is a Earl tape produced by Tyler.

It has a rough grungy kinda mix which he did on purpose to make it LoFi. It's mixed purposely with a lot of noise on it and little crackles and things like that in it.I feel you. With me It's hard for me to hear what people mean when they say things were mixed bad.

Listen to the low end of Smuckers for instance and how he got the bass super loud. It's one of the least Lo-Fi fukked up sounding songs on there but it's still mixed weird.
Listen to the beat on this one and how the bass sounds and all the crazy noises
I could never get into the album cause most of it just sounds like too much noise on it to me. Maybe I will revisit it one day but he mixed it like that to try and be too edgy and it hurt the album imo.
Nostalgia Ultra is not a classic? It's is much better then Blonde imo. Even Channel Orange is better then Blonde.
Also I disagree with your definition of a classic. It Takes A Nation To Hold Us Back by Public Enemy is not as impactful today as it was back then but it is a classic and made most of it's impact back in the day. I feel some classic are merely just time stamps for their era and when you listen they give you a good ideal of what that era was like. Some records are classics for that reason.

I don’t think you can count blonde as being part of the odd future era. But it is a damn near classic.
But CO and NU are classics for sure.
Wolf too.
Odd future high key had the best talent outta end post 2010 crew.
