Was Bone Art of War a Classic if only one disc?

And that's coming from someone who was a fan of Outkast from their first album I was in stores and bumped that album cover to cover the year it came out—and nobody in my city had even heard of the guys.  Most only became big fans when their second record came around ATLiens, which was also classic.  I thought their first 4 were all classics and played them all front to back without skips—but SpeakerBox/The Love Below was over my head, I didn't get that shit. 

And I was still a head checking for new music at the time of Speakerbox/Love Below, I didn't become ol' school till Nas officially called the death of Hip-Hop at the end of 2006 with the album Hip-Hop Is Dead.  That's when I became ol' school and stopped checking for new shit the day hip-hop went to Lil Wayne and Skinny Jeans.

I was never a huge fan of OutKast but that album was so big that I kinda jumped on the bandwagon for a bit...I did enjoy it a lot but I have to revisit it one of these days

I actually lost faith in new music around the same time, I enjoyed Nas's HHiD and Snoops BCT but yeah the Wayne, Dipset, skateboard era wasn't for me

Yeah man... that's why I thought it was so perfect that Nas came out with that album right at that moment at the end of 2006—Hip-Hop is Dead.

Because 2006 was the last year I checked for new hip-hop and stayed up on all the new releases, and went to Barnes and Noble and read all the magazines cover to cover--Source, XXL, Murder Dog, Rap Pages--whatever was still around.  Then in 2007 Wayne took the crown and the game switched up to skinny jeans. 

I was still up hip-hop head but I stopped checking for new shit and started just digging for old gems.  But first I took a few years off and started listening to stuff like Reggae and 80's music from my youth like Phil Collins.  But yeah man—that was really when the change took place—remember even Eminem couldn't save the game at that time he dropped that ridiculous album with some sort of Russian accent—Relapse.  The game's been fucked up ever since Wayne and skinny jeans took over.  But headz like Doggfather at the forum still in denial—but hey, to each his own, no disrespect
