What classic hip hop album has Swizz helmed?
Most would disagree with you about the two PR&CLS albums. Definitely M&TSB.
In any event - TROY is a top ten classic hip-hop song.
What classic hip-hop song does Swizz even have? Ruff Ryders Anthem?? :russ:
Swizz don't have classics now?

God times and ruff ryder anthems are not classics?

:bryan:
I never understood why RRA blew up. I guess b/c of how simple the hook/flow was. Easily digestible for the masses. IT was massively popular, but you really think its a hip hop classic?
Good Times was a great song. Classic though? To me, all of Swizz' shyt is questionable at best.

Wait? Were you talking about Ryde or Die the album? Or the song?
LOL at a Cassidy album being classic. Or Eve.
The Lox record when they were on RR was dope - not a classic though.

Ruf Ryders Anthem is a bonafide classic. Don't know how it could be argued, it defined that 97-00 period and the emergence of its biggest star. Its a classic in the same way ante up is a classic.

Good times is a classic as well, who don't know about that 'i get high, high high sample' arguably the most popular song after '5 on it' to be made about weed, its also a classic.

Its easier to have classic songs or singles than albums, but regardless they're both classic songs.

I don't really dispute what you are saying about RRA - but its kind of wack though isn't it?
I'm more comfortable with Good Times as a classic song - but its probably not cracking the top 300.

I don't even know if I ever heard Vol. 2 in its entirety. WW3 was a great song. The album came and went as I recall - I've never heard it called a classic.
Vol. 1 was ok. Some good songs - mostly just ok songs though.
Cassidy had some great singles with Swizz - I've never heard a Cassidy album hailed a classic.
