Good thread...I know there's a couple of albums that I didn't like at first but grew on me, I just can't think of them right now.

Ice Cube - War & Peace Vol. 1 (War Disc) >>> Dope Album.Classic To Me

Same here. I remember when it first dropped, I was on a long road trip and I bumped that going and coming back. To this day I just let that shit play still it stops. But I thought it was dope from the jump another album that took some time to grow on me but that I bump is probably that Dillinger & Young Gotti. When it first came out I thought it was cool but by the summer that whole album STAYED in the car. I have alot more, just give me some time.  ;D

definitly doggfather was a big let down in the beginning it was just two steps ahead of me cause since 2000 i even prefer it above doggystyle

aftermath compilation was a dissapointment but right now its absolutely classic. its an rnb album but its really stylish stand alone album.

firm album was dissapointin because of it werent all dre tracks but later on you realise all dre songs on it are so strong the album is classic anyway

warren g take a look over your shoulder was not somethin i expected either after years it grew on me and nowadays i really respect the production its like spaced out g funk

puff daddy now way out was wack to me cause i hated puffy but afterall i have to admit its great production and classic album

makaveli was dissapointment also because it was so short and wasn't as accessable as all eyez on me but later on when i got caught by the lyrics it ended in my top 10 list on top.

Never had a situation like that. I've had albums I disliked that I've grown to appreciate, but all my personal favorites I felt from the first listen.

one that i can think of from the top of my head would be spice 1 "Americas Nightmare".I loved spice 1 back in the day with his first 2 albums but then i dunno it was just something about AMericas Nightmare that i didnt like at first.Then the more and more i listened to it i  loved it and it became a classic.

The beats were different and took some time to get used to because Daz did them with Mike Dean, but man I really started to get into it once I got my system finished that year. Daz needs to hook back up with Mike Dean. Kurupt has some hard rhymes on that.

DJ Quik "Safe & Sound" - After hearing Quik on Menace II Society & Murder Was The Case, I wanted to get a Quik album, so I picked it up.  I didn't like all the live instruments in it.  I was only about 13 when I got it.  After a while I began to appreciate the music, and now it's one of my fav. albums.

Raphael Saadiq "Instant Vintage" - Only liked a few tracks on it when I first got it, now I listen to it all the time.

Kurupt - Kuruption (West Coast)

DJ Quik- Rhythmalism

Kurupt's album kinda threw me way off, maybe it was the factory radio in my car at the time....

Quik's album was totally different from the previous 3 he had released...He went from being gangsta to being 'fly' and at the time I wasn't feeling that at all...

The same with me with Rhythmalism. I hesitated on buying that album due to the gayish album cover and then I eventually bought it and I was  ???. It sounded so different. I didn't listen to it again until Balance and Options dropped and then it became one of my alltime favorites.

The Roots album Things Fall Apart, I didn't like it at first either but it grew on me.

E-40 In a Major Way

My first E-40 album, and pretty much first time ever hearing him.  Copped it in 95 because it was a feature on a music club.  Didn't really like it at first, or even for almost 2 years.  Now its one of my favorite albums out.
