M Dogg™:
I have been here since day one, and there have been a few classics released, but the thing is that since this is a westcoast board, most compair each classic to the Chronic, and expect everything to be on that level. They say that can't be a classic because it needs time. Well, I guess you can call me an old timer. I do remember though back in early 1993 when Ain't Nuthin  But A G Thang was all over the radio, and the CD was being called a classic at the early stages of it's release. Doggystyle was also considered a classic from day one. With all that said, I have lived though a few classic releases and you know they are classics the moment they are released. The Chronic, Doggystyle, Makaveli, Ready to Die, Illmatic, 2001 all of these were instead classics, hell between Biggies death and 2001, people were worried because there were no classic CDs being released, which was weird. So since 2000, since the younger folks lived through can remember rap music since then, what are some instead classics to you.

For me, especially listening to some CDs today and enjoying them as much as the day I bought them.

Jay-Z - Blueprint (production is just too good. I mean it's the best producted album since 2001.)

Nas - Stillmatic (what people are talking about now, Nas was saying shortly after 9/11 when people were flying flags. A classic pure hip-hop album)

Kanye West - The College Dropout (The best classic album since 2000 in my opinion. Production was almost as good as Blueprint, and lyrics, even though they were simple, just hit harder than any other album.)

Missing is Scarface - The Fix. I think it's a great album, 4.5 mics no question. But not classic. Close, but not quite there. The three up there are all classics. All of them were so good they changed hip-hop's face. Blueprint put the soul into hip-hop, and made sure Jay-Z would be known in hip-hop history. Stillmatic made it ok to be a hip-hop artist, with a real message and battle the mainstream. The College Dropout basically put conscience rap back into the mainstream. They changed the game, and proved to be classics. To you, what were classic albums since 2000.

Jay-z and Scarface are pretty damn close...but they aint classics like Rass KassTP said above me..and Kanye's album is nowhere even close to Classic

If The Fix isn't a classic than neither is College Dropout.
