It's ok in here man, don't worry about it.

I'll add some more albums that I think are classics that haven't been mentioned yet;

Xzibit - At The Speed Of Life
Xzibit - 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz
Ice Cube - The Predator
Ice Cube - Lethal Injection
2Pac - Me Against The World
Talib Kweli & Hi Tek - Reflection Eternal - Train Of Thought
BTNH - E.1999 Eternal
D.I.T.C. - D.I.T.C.
Common - Like Water For Choclate
Common - Resurrection
DMX - It's Dark And Hell Is Hot
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
Fugees - The Score
Kurupt - The Streetz Is A Mutha
The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II...
Gangstarr - Moment Of Truth
Gangstarr - Full Clip (this is a 'greatest hits' comp but I still consider it a classic)

There's a few, i'll post more up later...












I think that if you take one of the 'O's' out of 'Good' it's 'God', if you add a 'D' to 'Evil' it's the 'Devil'. I think some cool motherfucker sat down a long time ago and said 'let's figure out a way to control motherfuckers'.

Fuck it, classic is a highly questionable term, and means something different to each person.

Classic to me, is when a album is groundbreaking, and creates a new trend/sound that will be followed for years.
In hiphop-terms the lyrics gotta be on point too.
The biggest classic in hiphop to me, is 2001..

One which many people have missed out that I believe is a true classic:

Blackstar - Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Blackstar

This is a complete classic to me, and is easily in my Top 10 albums of all time.
