Which album has the smoothest production: The Main Ingredient, Fantastic, Vol. 2 or The Listening?

[DillaTUDE]

These three albums arguably the best three produced albums in Pete Rock, Jay Dee and 9th Wonder's respective catalogs and are good examples of the production outshining the rapping on the album (especially in the case of The Main Ingredient and Fantastic, Vol. 2).

Which out of the three do you believe has the most smooth, laid-back production?

Here's some of the best songs on The Main Ingredient:




...Fantastic, Vol. 2:




...and The Listening:





Also, feel free to suggest any other albums with similar production.

If we're judging on smoothness, it has to be Fantastic Vol. 2. I've legitimately seen 2U4U get a chick in the mood...

Which do you think is the best produced album overall out of the three?

It's hard to choose. All 3 are in my GOAT albums list but I would lean towards The Listening because it's got the best rapping and concept out of the three. 9th Wonder captured that sound so perfectly.
