The 2000's classic albums

[M Dogg™]

I want to do a profile of all the classic albums in the 2000's, since the decade is about to close. It was a decade that started hot as hell in Hip-Hop, then as the decade went along, Hip-Hop found it's self dying. How will the 10's treat Hip-Hop, who knows, but I think we can look back and see what were the shining moments in the last 10 years. I'ma list some albums and then we can debate, and hopefully get some true DubCNN classics.

Jay-Z - Blueprint

M Dogg's opinion
Eminem - The Eminem Show
Untitled - Nas
Doctor's Advocate - Game (though I really have a hard time calling it a classic, compared to all other westcoast releases it's solid)
Lil' Wayne - The Carter III (I put this here 'cause the opinion I respect the most in Hip-Hop called it classic, so I put it up for debate)
TI - King
Masta Ace - Disposable Arts
Masta Ace - A Long Hot Summer

ummm

Blueprint
Stillmatic ( good record realy fucking good)
Documentary( this one is like justa  notch under classic)  DEF WESTCOAST CLASSIC!!!
Carter 3
Get rich or die trying ( because of IN DA CLUB alone this record is classic, that single is one of the biggest singles in hip hop history, not to mention there is a lot of great songs on there.

Fuck Carter 3, that shit was trash  , that's my two cents. Edit: Let the Beat Build is a dope ass track though.

I like C3 But it isn't classic.

2009 albums can't count IMO cause they haven't been out long enough to see if there classics.
Because now I'd just name call a bunch of 09 releases.

THere's definatly allot more.

Dillinger & Young Gotti

Supreme Clientel

Looks like people are just listing good albums from the decade.
There aren't any real hip-hop classics.

The closest one are: Stillmatic, The Blueprint, Get Rich Or Die Tryin', The Marshal Mathers LP, Stankonia, College Dropout and The Fix.  Maybe Untitled, The Listening and Supreme Clientele

[MediumL]

It depends what the criteria for classic is. Are we saying strictly albums that changed the game and were dope all the way through. Or albums that may have had a couple duds but were still game changers...

[Paul]

I just named what i think were classic


Proper 1s that changed the game, well........... I think its only The Marshall Mathers LP and maybe The Blueprint
