How Many Classic Albums Have Dropped Since 2000? (Westcoast Edition)

[Tay]

It all depends on one's definition of "classic", but to me it's pretty much anything that made an impact on the game or the listener, is solid the whole way through, and represents the finest work out an artist or group's career. A few that I would put on my list are:

Evidence - The Weatherman LP (Amazing album, I didn't like the skits, but he proved that he could carry an album lyrically and production-wise)
Zion I - True & Livin' (I liked all 3 of their albums, plus the one with The Grouch, but I think this was the most consistent one yet)
The Jacka - The Jack Artist (Surprised me with this one, solid all the way through, great work from Rob-Lo on the beats)
Shock G - Fear of a Mixed Planet (A lot of this is sentimental, and because so many people slept on it. Can't deny that it was vintage Shock, covering such a wide range of topics that only he can)
Hieroglyphics - Full Circle (Came back hungry and focused on this one, showed that they can still put it down.

These ones are all certain for me, other ones that are borderline for me would be The Game - Doctor's Advocate (I thought it was better than Documentary), Dilated Peoples - Neighborhood Watch (Really solid work), Blu & Exile - Below The Heavens (not a single filler), Mistah FAB - Nig Latin (He came out blazing with this one), The Coup - Pick A Bigger Weapon, Paris - Sonic Jihad (I also liked the compilation feeling of Hard Truth Soldiers).

I get what you are saying, but it really depends on the listener and their definition of a classic. All of the ones that I listed can be played all the way through without skipping, with the exception of Evidence having a couple skits and maybe 1 song that I didn't really like..The ones that are borderline that I listed, made big impacts and had great songs, but there was too much filler in my opinion.

how the fuck can WC's album be a classic?

It was a great album but classic is something that has had a impact or something like that.

Just cuz u like that album alot doesnt mean its classic.

how can you put Rosce's sophmore album ahead of his first?

and why is everyone mentioning Space Boogie? that was Kurupt's worst album in my eyes.

As far as Roscoe goes, I really like the first album, but for me personally here were a lot of skipper tracks. The second album I can vibe to better.

When it comes to Space Boogie, I never understood the hate on it. Kurupt still has the rugged flow and the beats are top notch. All opinion though.
