As far as "classics"....I'd say Death Row has Chronic, Doggystyle, and All Eyez on me as TRUE MAJOR classics, with Dogg food almost being at that level, but not quite, only because it didn't have the same overall impact to the entire nation. Murder was the case is a GREAT album, but I don't know if I could really call it classic with it being a soundtrack...because the variety of artists gives it an aural advantage, while it breaks up the continuity of the album itself on the other hand. I'd say Aftermath has one TRUE, MAJOR classic, which is Chronic 2001...and MMLP is closest at second. So if I had to list albums from both companies from best to "worst", I'd probably say.....1. Chronic2. Doggystyle3. Chronic 20014. All Eyez on me5. Marshall Mathers LP6. Dogg Food7. Get Rich or die trying8. Murder was the case9. The Documentary10. Slim Shady LPAnd that list is with me being as unbiased as possible...because I like Dogg Food better than MMLP, and I like Murder was the case and possibly The Doc better than Get Rich..but when it comes to overall impact, radio play, and what's remembered by the entire nation and not just West Coast fans...I'd say that list is most accurate.
i think one thing that should be considered is what happens within the next couple years.......detox, bishop, new em shit........where as with every re releasing that suge does, all the raping of pac's legacy that he continues to commit.......its not exactly ending on a good note for death row and that does tarnish the legacy a bit, maybe not enough to sway judgement, but aftermath has many years ahead of it where as death row is pretty much RIP at this point........
Both have great music up their sleaves and both have some dissapointments. Right now, Death Row probably has the upper hand... but perception may change with DETOX, Joell, Bishop and whatever else has potential there.Notible Records:Death Row:The ChronicDoggystyleMurder Was The Case SoundtrackDogg FoodAll Eyez on MeAdd:MakaveliAbove The Rim SoundtrackDanny Boy - Slip n Slide <------ok thats a reach on my part but its a very solid record that I still play to this day.Aftermath:The Slim Shady LPChronic 2001The Marshall Mathers LPTruthfully Speaking<------------VERY far from classicGet Rich or Die Tryin'The Documentary

I'll give you a possible 2 if you count the unreleased King T album. Its beyond reason that anyone could possibly consider ANY Eminem album a classic. I'm still waiting for him to put out a decent album. Yea the chicka chicka slim shady song was goofy and catchy and had a pretty good flow to it, but the album is garbage. Get Rich or Die Tryin? Classic? Get the fuck outta here. Documentary? You cant possibly be serious. Theres a couple good songs on that record at best.
