Classic albums since 2000
T-Dogg:
I'd say Jay-Z's Blueprint and Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP are certainly classics. That's just my opinion though. Both were prime examples of how albums should be made and both created a mad buzz. And yes, The Real Slim Shady is a song for the pop chart. But do you remember another Hip-Hop song at the time that was such a huge world wide hit? I don't.
As for the other candidates...
Stillmatic? No, as it was said, the album falls off its flow towards the end. There are some classic songs on there though, like What Comes Around. Kanye's College Dropout? Maybe, I can't tell yet. We'll see how the album lasts in the years to come. Gotta say it's lookin good in my book though. Even though the whole LP doesn't turn out to be a classic in the long run, this too has some classic cuts on there, like Jesus Walks. Scarface? I can't speak on that, I never heard the whole thing. Never really got into Scarface. It's got some dope songs though. I Ain't The One is really good.
TraceOneInfinite:
The Marshall Mathers LP and the Eminem Show are the only classic album since the turn of the century.
All the other classics like the one mentioned in the origional post represent a epoch in hip-hop that has came and went.
Lincoln:
There's been no classic albums in any genre since 2000.

Well I wouldnt consider it a classic but i think its easily on par with Stillmatic and College Dropout - Canibus-Rip The Jacker

That's when you know you've become old - you tend to think that the new music today is nowhere near old music quality wise. Imagine what somebody who grew up on 50 Cent, Lil Jon and Kanye West will think when those artists are considered "old" music.
