Diplomatic Immunity

Great thread.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

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.

Yea no one was using 808s til this album came out...

Diplomatic Immunity

greatest double cd ever

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

7 day theory

i know it's home to a few classics but i think it's lauded more because of pac's death. half the album is meh, some of the beats are garbage.

i don't know how people stack it up to AEOM.

 

[BiggWebb79]

Watch The Throne
MCHG
Carter 3
Hip Hop Is Dead
808's & Heartbreak
TLOP
It's Dark and Hell Is Hot

2001 is definitely the definition of an "impact classic" but it's also just a classic album

It shaped the whole genre as we know it today, 808s is probably second behind that, or you could choose Kanye's first album as starting all this

way better than AEOM

pac's best album by far.

the entire album feels like a brick hitting you. and I know what that feels like.

I'm confused here.

are you saying that 2001 is a classic or not?

and how did 2001 shape the genre as we know it today? it wasn't even the hot popular sound of its time.

2001 pushed the limit on mixing, super clean but loud as fukk

It's both a classic and impact classic, my favorite Dre album personally

breh, I think you got the thread premise mixed up.

if you think its a classic, then you shouldn't nominate it.

I nominated it cuz it had big success and meant a lot to some, but I only rate it as like a 3 1/2 mic album. maybe 4 on a good day.

yea. I see what youre saying about the mixing but that's on the technical side of things.
