Good topic. Jadakiss comes to my mind right away, he's one of my favorites from East, but he really doesn't have a album that you can bump from beginning to the end.
Crooked I for sure and I'm not sure if I'd classify any of Beanie Sigel, Method Man or Busta Rhymes albums as classics
I can honestly say I bought Kiss of Death the day it came out, and bumped that everyday for a long time. With that said, it's not a classic. It's a solid 4.5 mic album, but classic albums either define an era or redefine the game. I'd say Ras Kass is the first artist to come to mind. His first two albums were great and his third album I have both versions Goldyn Chyld and Van Gogh. Both could have been, but just never was released.

Any Ras Kass fan would tell you that is a classic
Ras Kass first album is def classic IMO, I consider it the west coast version of IllmaticCrooked I has classic verses...but not albums
