What's the Biggest drop off from classic to next album

[FloorGeneral]

Some good choices in here. One not mentioned, I can't believe we went from

to

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

A lot of people say It Was Written is better than Illmatic

Nonsense.

 

[El Guapo]

The Black Album to Kingdom Come

Honestly went “Hov is back ” to “Shoulda stayed retired” after a few listens (trying my best to force myself to like it).

Redeemed himself with American Gangster though.

 

[classicmaterial]

"The Aftermath Presents...." doesn't count but if it did....boy...

Came in here to add this. It counts. Lead-off single was a Dre solo track and it was pushed as a compilation way more after it flopped. Yes we knew going in that it was Dr. Dre Presents but it was still the follow up to The Chronic

 

[50CentStan]

Doggfather snoop really showed how wack he is.

 

[BaRRyG]

Snoop.... Easily

God's Son to Streets Disciple

 

[get these nets]

from cuban links to immobilarity​

 

[UpAndComing]

God's Son to Streets Disciple

God Son was a near classic and Streets Disciple was a pretty good album. Nothing about SD was a "huge dropoff". It was just ehh average. Some classic songs on it though

SD was trash, maybe if you condense it down to a single disc it's passable, but the fact is he attempted a double-disc with those beats and failed.

God's Son to Streets Disciple

God's Son ain't a classic and I'm a Nas stan

 

[the cool]

Respectfully disagree. IWW was a huge stepdown to illmatic. I don't really play IWW other than like 2-3 tracks.

I used to think illmatic was Nas best album. But as time goes on IWW >

It was written is Nas best album

God's Son ain't a classic and I'm a Nas stan

God's Son was a classic. He had his highest charting single, it was his most personal vulnerable album. Salaam Remi was at his best, we got 3 Alchemist beats, even Alicia Keys did her thing on production. We got a posthumous 2pac/Nas collaboration.

I beg to differ sir.

 

[African Peasant]

The Coming to When Disaster Strikes
Capital Punishment to Yeeeah Baby
Savage Life to Savage Life 2
No Way Out to Forever

It was a very good album but not a classic. It's in the tier after his classics and the highest in that tier though.
