Is this whole "GRODT isn't a classic" a fukking practical joke? Every song is an absolute smash.

I agree with all these albums. Life After Death didn't influence shyt. Chronic 2001 is cool but that shyt ain't that great. Harlem World was almost like part of a trio of albums they slapped into one to signify the Bad Boy era at that time... but never Harlem World by itself did shyt for anybody. A lot of people bumped it though... that's for damn sure... excluding me. But I know it well.
I never listened to No Way Out by myself. That doesn't at all take away from whether or not it was any good... but at this time Bad Boy was such a fad... I was like fukk this album. I'll listen to it tonight and see if I was right for duckin it in the first place.... mind you though this was another album that everybody and even those who didn't listen to hip-hop had for some reason (a la Harlem World). So I probably know it way better than I think I do.

A Tribe Called Quest ™
Make Em Say Ughh ... Silk da Shocker

The only album is disagree with is The Chronic 2001. I think it's one the cleanest albums, sonically ever made and I think the rapping is more consistent than the original.
Prince Cairo
Authentic
I don't consider any of his stuff classic.some people might say the state vs radric davis or something though
I can't speak for all Gucci fans, but his group of early mixtapes (06-09 roughly) is classic material.
It's not like it's just one particular project, it's that era

this album had classic impact?
I mean, I know it established a lane that catered to hipsters but it didn't really hit my rap radar.
speaking of Kanye tho, i'd nominate his 1st 3 albums for this thread.
super-hype going into all 3 of them. all were solid works but no classics.

2001 is a definitive classic. Had it been released a year later it would've been the best album of the decade. Being that it was released after the October 30th cutoff it was technically a 2000 album by music industry standard
I ducked out?
I offer you mercy when I'm raining bombs on you and you have the audacity to say I ducked out
College Dropout and Late Registration are classics.
808s & Heartbreak paved the way for 808s and autotune rappers. They're at the forefront of radio now.
CD & LR are 4 mic albums at best.
I guess you can throw 808s & heartbreak in there. I moreso look at that autotune rap stuff as being purposely forced into the forefront, but I see what youre saying.
you can NOT credit Kanye for 808 beats tho. nah.
