One classic...maybe.

 

[Sbp]

Two classics

 

[Metal Face]

Jay is my 2nd fav of all time and he has NO classics. Great albums....but no classics.

RD is a reach. Blueprint is a classic. The rest aren't.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

I say 3...

RD, Blueprint, Black Album

Still impressive and I can't think of a solo rapper with 3 classics

 

[Chip Skylark]

American Gangster
Watch The Throne

Take volume 2. It sold a lot but it was trash. The hits saved it. Volume 1 and 3 was bette

6 classics? No.

I'm hesitant to say he has any honestly.

RD is amazing, blueprint production is great but as I've grown a few songs have become corny, black album is great also but change clothes ruins the flow and vibe of it American Gangster was amazing but hello Brooklyn and blue magic ruin it.

 

[The Ruler 09]

I got Jay with 2 classics.

Kanye West has more of a claim to 3 classics than Jay with his first 3 albums. They're at least somewhat debatable especially the first two.

 

[ChiTownGuevera]

2pac 3 classics

Biggie 2 classics

Nas 3 classics(Distant Relative) 1 arguable classic (stillmatic)

Jay 1 classics 1 arguable classic(bluprint)

Outkast 4 classics 1arguable classic

Common 3 classics(ressurection, water for choc, BE) 1 arguable

The Roots 4 classics
