Black Sunday is a classic, though not as highly as their debut (though it's my favorite personally). Temples of Boom didn't get received very well because expectations were so high, and they got less funky and there was more filler... looking back though it's a dope, chilled out album, kinda like how Doggfather is pretty good looking back, but at the time was a big disappointment. A few critics argue that Temples is classic, though their other albums aren't considered classics after that.Dogg Food is just about a classic, though most critics at the time considered it a 4 star album, because it's inferior to Doggystyle and The Chronic and is kind of just another remake of those two albums (Doggystyle always gets called a classic because it builds upon the stuff on the Chronic, while Dogg Food isn't quite as tight or sharp so sometimes it's on the line).None of the other Dogg Pound albums are considered classics. TOB for Cypress I thought tone wise was probably their most gangsta album. And the production on it was really on some other shit. Sounded like they really went to a temple and just soaked in recordings from there. Black Sunday had more radio friendly hits but I always digged their 3rd album because it was nothing like the 1st 2. They were in their heyday a west coast version of Outkast, their sound was always evolving."Temples Of Boom" had a dark sound to it. I loved that. It's a classic IMO. "Black Sunday" was real dark too.

I'll go with Tha Dogg Pound. But the real question is who would win in a smokathon??
Dogg Food > Cypress Hill discographyI'll leave it at that.
