This might grow into a controversial thread, but I'm just wondering which albums that have been classified as classics, that you think are over rated. I'll be the 1st brave soul (my karma prolly gonna see a MAD drop after this 1) and I'll say Dr. Dre's "The Chronic". I only liked "Fuckin With Dre Day", "Nuthin But A G Thang", "Rat-tat-tat-tat", "Lyrical Gangbang" & "Stranded On Death Row". I listened to it today for the 1st time (I'm pretty young, and I been trying to go back and listen to all west coast classic albums that came before me/when I was relatively young) right after I listened to The D.O.C.'s "No One Can Do It Better" (also for the 1st time) and D.O.C.'s is 10x better. Only 1 listen, and already 1 of my fav. records of all time. Lol, please lets understand people this is ALL opinion.

I'm not doing to diss you because that's just ridiculous. After all, you're entitled to you're opinion. I'm surprised that you didn't list songs like "Deeez Nuuuts" and "Let Me Ride" as ones that you liked on the album. I personally think The Chronic is a classic, but like I said, it's your opinion and to each their own.
I'll come back when I think of some albums that don't strike me as personal favs but are regarded as classics to most of the hip hop community.
-
There are not alot of albums that are considered west coast classics, but if I could think of 1 I always thought the Documentary was overrated. Great album but not a classic.

Thanks 4 that. Also, Don't get me wrong. I'm not here saying "the chronic is fuckin' wack, how the hell can any1 like this shit". I just have (obvisouly) as a west coast fan, have always heard great things about it, and today I finally listened to it, and was disapointed. It's a shame what happened to the D.O.C., because his first l.p. was da shit. I'd just like to say, although i'm young, I do appreciate da old skool west coast gangsta, so that can't be why i don't like. Warren G, Cube, Xzibit are among my favs. (I still think Cube's "Death Certificate" is the greatest hip-hop album ever made).
-
I don't listen to "The Chronic" that much, I always found "Doggystyle" to be the better album.
Add "All Eyez On Me" to the list of classics that I think are overrated.

i agree, at least in context with the 7 day theory. always thought 7DT was his better DR album.
-
Personally...I have always felt as if I was about a year too young to love The Chronic as much as I love Doggystyle. I didn't start listenin to rap at that level til Sept. 93...before that, I just liked the radio commercial "Hip Hop hooray" and "Whoop there it is". Doggystyle was the biggest thing ever when I got into rap, and it's still my favorite album....just finished bumpin it. But with the Chronic, I'll never say it was overrated...but I feel that the NWA styled tracks were just too archaic and old soundin for me to get into.
-
I'd deff put "All eyez on me" on there. "Life after Death" had more bangers and less skip tracks although, I'd hesitate calling that straight classic as well.

me its the oppossite of wat you just said.
-
From the West Coast? Hmmm. I think I love every single West Coast classic.
Straight Outta Compton
Eazy Duz It
Life Is Too $hort
No One Can Do It Better
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
Quik Is The Name
Death Certificate
Niggaz4Life
The Chronic
Doggystyle
Regulate... G-Funk Era
Dogg Food
Safe + Sound
Me Against The World
All Eyez On Me
The 7 Day Theory
Bow Down
Rhythm-Al-Ism
2001
and every other CLASSIC I forgot. I don't think any are overrated.
-
as said before me, Quik Is The Name is a classic, u shud listen to that album if u didnt already, really its real smooth 8)
-
. But with the Chronic, I'll never say it was overrated...but I feel that the NWA styled tracks were just too archaic and old soundin for me to get into.

thats exactly it. that sound was wat was in at the time. But listening to it for the first time u ain't used to that sound. That also way don't like new songs that sound old school. Like the Remedy
-
I listened to the chronic for the first time a couple years ago and i really enjoyed it but i prefer doggystyle because by then dre had perfected his g funk sound. But Nuthin but a g thang and let me ride are better than any track on doggystyle for me.
-
The Chronic was my first Hip-Hop album that I listened to straight through and I loved it from the first listen.It is basically the album that got me into West Coast Hip-Hop, and Hip-Hop as a whole for that matter.
On topic, I co-sign on the person who said that he doesn't think there are many (or any if I might add) LP's (at least from the West) that are classics and overrated

I feel you on that for the most part. But for some reason, I can get into "Straight Outta Compton" more than I can get into "The Chronic".
-
I can totally understand that somebody listening to The Chronic today for the first time wouldn't be into it. A whole different sound today out there. But, I'm also sure that the more you listen to it, the more it starts opening up to you and the more you'll like it. I personally can remember seeing the videos from The Chronic on MTV back when they first came out, and liking the songs then (though I didn't get into it that much at the time that I would've bought the albums.) But basically that sound doesn't come as something new to me today like to others, instead I remember the times and other music that came out during the time, and Chronic and Doggystyle really stand out.
But "overrated classics" in my opinion, hmm...
Wel Dogg Food would be one. It's an album that's dope as FUCK, don't get me wrong, I love that shit. But I feel that not all tracks on there are on the same level.
Somebody said Eazy Duz It. In my opinion it's never been a classic. There's classic cuts on there, no fucking doubt, but on the whole - well, pretty much the same shit as with Dogg Food.
Hard to come up with other ones. I've noticed recently that the more I listen to the older stuff, the more I like it each time. East, West, North, South, all the shit.
-

thats exactly it. that sound was wat was in at the time. But listening to it for the first time u ain't used to that sound. That also way don't like new songs that sound old school. Like the Remedy
yeah i guess i dont get it, maybe im ole school, i love the ole school sound much more then the newer soundin shiiit
-
I'd say 'Dogg Food' it's not as good as some people on here make that album out to be.

With me....I'd say that the NWA styled tracks on this album sounded more like NWA's older leftovers than NWA's hottest tracks. I love "Gangsta Gangsta" "Express yourself" (even though it's just a loop), "Always into somethin", "Boyz n da hood" which is still one of my favorite songs. I always thought the beat on "Straight outta Compton" was more noise than funk, but I like the energy in it and still like the song as a whole. I also love "The Formula" and "Funky enough" from DOC. So it wasn't just because it sounded older than G-Funk, but because those tracks just weren't as strong to me as the previous NWA songs. I always loved the singles from Chronic, probably because those are some of the first rap videos I can remember seeing. When I was 8 and in the 3rd grade, my godsister was in town from Florida (ironically since I'm in college there now) and she was watchin MTV, and I was like "who is that?" and she was like "That's Snoop and Dre, Dre Day!! You never heard of them before??"

Part of me agrees with you, mainly because I heard so much praise for the album that by the time I listened to it I didn't feel it lived up to expectations. I think that's possible with any album though. That's probably the reason the thread starter doesn't consider The Chronic a classic. Albums rarely live up to their hype, mostly because people are expecting something that knocks them on their ass the first time they hear it. I also think that the more you listen to albums they tend to grow on you. To the thread starter, that might very well be the situation with The Chronic. I couldn't get into N.W.A when I first heard them, and now I love the albums. The sounds heard in rap now are completely different from the late-80s and early-90s, so it a lot of it depends on what you're used to and what sound you heard first.
As for albums that are not personal classics, The 7 Day Theory would be one of those albums. I always preferred All Eyez On Me. I think the albums have two different styles, with the dark themes dominating The 7 Day Theory, which is not my preference. I also heard All Eyez On Me first which could explain why I prefer that album.
-
Whether or not you like The Chronic, it is a classic because it pioneered the West Coast sound, arguably the sound for Modern Rap period.

I believe you. Ofcourse I'll give it a few more listens, to see if it grows on me. Like I said I'm relatively young, but a big west coast rap fan, so I been going back and listenting to old skool west classics. And after 1 listen, I already loved the following albums:
Both N.W.A.'s
Maad Circle's 1st L.P. (WC & Coolio)
Low Profile (WC & DJ Alladin)
D.O.C.'s No One Can Do It Better
Warren G's Regulate...G-Funk Era
Mack 10's first 2 L.P.'s
Ice Cube's first 2 L.P.'s
And I expected the chronic to fall under that category for me, and it really didn't.
I also agree with the guy who said whether I like it or not, it's a classic, Just not in my personal opinion.
-
Reasonable doubt and ready to die = the most over rated albums in history.
-
The only one that i'd say is overrated is Warren G - Regulate G Funk Era. Regulate is classic but I don't think the rest of the album is, It has good production but Warren G isn't that great of a rapper.
I'd say all the other albums are classic, especially The Chronic, In my opinion thats the best rap album ever made, I don't know how anyone can't like it.

I feel that way about regulate..g-funk era. I thought it was bangin' beginning to end.

Game - Documentary
How anyone can think that album is classic is beyond me, the album is barely above average. Outside of Higher, Start From Scratch and Where I'm From, the rest of the album is ehh.
Chronic 2001
Overrated in my opinion. There are some brilliant songs on here, but there are some wack songs on here as well and there's not really an album feel to it. It feels more like a collection than an album. Streetz is a Mutha dropped the same day and it's way better.
Ras Kass - Soul on Ice
Ras Kass is off beat half the time and the production is horrible. Rassassination and the unreleased Van Gogh/Golden Child music is way better.
Warren G - Regulate the G Funk Era
This is a great album but there's not enough to it to call it classic.
Dogg Pound - Dogg Food
See above.
Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint
Both average albums, both horribly overrated. You compare Reasonable Doubt to albums that dropped that same year, like Atliens, All Eyes on Me, Makaveli, The Score, It Was Written, Stakes is High, Ironman, Bow Down, and Reasonable Doubt is not on that level. Blueprint, I just don't see what's so great about that album. That annoying chipmunk sound was beaten to death and Jay-Z's occasional attempts at sincerity were transparent, especially when they're interspersed between the "I have more money than you" songs.
Nas - Illmatic
It's a good album but not good enough to be a classic. Nas has made 2 albums better than Illmatic IMO. Compare that album to similar albums that dropped around that time, like De La Soul's Bahloone Mindstate and Raekwan's Cuban Linx or even Mobb Deep's The Infamous and I don't think Illmatic is on that level.

I never realized how many great albums dropped in 1996. What an overall great year for hip hop.

damn, u listing to the same albums as all of us.
Maybe u should go back to the oldies...lol

c/s
if these albums being mentioned aren't classics or the closest thing to classic what albums are?
-
i love regulate but for me it doesnt quite live up to the reputation it has become, dont get me wrong its still a quality album,
as for dogg food its the greatest album iv ever heard and think it sould be considered up ther with chronic and doggystyle, jus my opinion
-
lol @ this thread
A lot of youngins showing there age in here.... :laugh: @ 'The Chronic' & 'AEOM' being overrated "classics"
Warren G's album(s) are nowhere near classic..The first album is highly overrated though
Game's album(s) aren't classic and are extremely overrated.
Jay-Z's Resonable Doubt is an overrated 'classic'
Outkast's Aquemini & ATLiens are overatted 'classics' as well..but there music was way better bacc then, then it is now.
Some of you guyz were really young when theez "classic" albums were released, so you wouldn't understand the sounds and the era in which they were released in. You guyz are judging theez albums from an 00' and beyond outlook.
-
Reasonable doubt and ready to die = the most over rated albums in history.
Both Biggie albums ready to die and life after death are super over rated. Biggie himself is over rated as hell. However, I have to disagree with Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt. That and the Black Album are classics to me.
I think 2Pac's Strickly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z is over rated. I think it's his weakest release he put out while he was still alive. I thought 2Pacalypse was better.
ATLiens was a classic back in the day. But listening to it now, it definitly shows it age.
I also thought Dr. Dre's 2001 was over rated a bit. I was bumping Kurupts Streetz is a Mutha more. Now Streetz is a Mutha is a CLASSIC.

yea, i'm a youngster. I was barely born when the chronic was released. but explain why I feel that both n.w.a. albums, the d.o.c.'s 1st lp are classics, but the chronic ain't.
-
Let me say this about the original Chronic album... When it first came out in 93' there was absolutely nothing of its kind. From the moment I first heard the Intro with crazy G-Funk synthesizers and hearing a young fresh Snoop doing the "Eazy E can eat a big fat dick...Luke can eat a big fat dick"... I was like "holy shit"...
We all know the classics like G Thang and Let Me Ride, and even Dre Day... but there was some unbelievable stuff like "High Powered"... There was nothing like High Powered in Hip Hop. A fresh sounding RBX with Rage chattering in the background ..."Boom... I drop bombs like Hiroshima"...
Then of course Deez Nutz was the beginning of the explosion of Nate Dogg..."Iiiiii-Can't be faded, cuz i'm a n*gga from the muthafuckin' streets"....
The power of "The Day The N*ggaz Took Over".... "Break em off sumthin', Break em off sumthin".... Daz and Snoop going with the reggae type chatter-rap... That song had some fuckin' power behind it....
Lil Ghetto Boy, Lyrical Gangbang, Rat-a-tat-tat...
and you can never forget ...the $20 Sack Pyramid skit with Bootney Lee & Duck Muthafuckin' Mouth, probably the best skit ever done on an album...
That album changed hip hop forever...
-
See I have fond memories of Dogg Food the same way as The Chronic but I think it is more of a classic on the west coast. But I know alot of people on the east and all over that think that is a classic record. Alot of controversy surrounded that album with the whole C Delores Tucker thing and NY, NY video shoot. But when Kurupt kicked that Dogg Pound Gangstaz off, I was in awe man. I had heard all their earlier shit, but Kurupt lyrically slayed EVERY track on that album. He was the essential mc back then. Daz was cold too and the beats were poppin. But Kurupt man, there was not 1 mc fuckin with him back then, period. I bumped that album as much as Doggystyle because of Kurupt. He was on both of them and the Chronic but his body of work on those 3 albums was what got me into DPGC.
-
2001 also was overrated as fuck I don't know how niggaz can call this classic when you got half the rappers on the album who are ass...where the fuk is Hitman and Knoc and all them other dudes who were spittin wack juice on that record...the beats were tight as a virgin tho...

I agree completely.

I disagree with y'all stating Illmatic, but thats cool, thats your opinion...
Now if anybody lists "The Low End Theory" by A Tribe Called Quest then I will have to strongly disagree...lol.
-
yeah i gotta back you up on that. i mean quests first three joints are the shit. i mean lyrically they aint that great but they're just real fun and different. midnight marauders is my fav.

I used to have Low End Theory on tape, that album is fuckin brilliant, easily a classic.
Those of you guys who don't think the Chronic is classic, you had to have been around at the time, especially if you were living in Southern California at the time. That album was like a time capsule, capturing all of the emotions, the anger and frustrations of everything going down at the time. When you listen to a song like "The Day the Niggas Took Over", that song just sums up how people felt back then, with the Rodney King verdicts and the ensuing riots. I think The Chronic captured that whole era better than any other album coming out of LA at the time. Also, give props to Ice Cube's Predator and King Tee's The Triflin' album as those albums also have similar themes running through them. The Chronic captured that and the music was different than anything else at the time, plus you have a young Snoop, Kurupt, Daz, Rage and RBX and you have a masterpiece.

This might grow into a controversial thread, but I'm just wondering which albums that have been classified as classics, that you think are over rated. I'll be the 1st brave soul (my karma prolly gonna see a MAD drop after this 1) and I'll say Dr. Dre's "The Chronic". I only liked "Fuckin With Dre Day", "Nuthin But A G Thang", "Rat-tat-tat-tat", "Lyrical Gangbang" & "Stranded On Death Row". I listened to it today for the 1st time (I'm pretty young, and I been trying to go back and listen to all west coast classic albums that came before me/when I was relatively young) right after I listened to The D.O.C.'s "No One Can Do It Better" (also for the 1st time) and D.O.C.'s is 10x better. Only 1 listen, and already 1 of my fav. records of all time. Lol, please lets understand people this is ALL opinion.
i feel like its a definite classic for a fact and not an opinion, probaly 1 of the most influential records ever made

I didn't mean it like that. What I meant by ALL opinion, was that this is simply my opinion. I DO know that the general feeling is that chronic is a classic, and I ain't got no problems with that.
-
Woah @ Illmatic being overated
I say Chronic 2001 and Doggfood are overated. I liked 2001 when I first heard it, but I can only listen to a few of the songs without gettin bored now. And only on the internet have I really heard Doggfood being a classic. It had some nice joints on there, but I'll put it in the 3.5-4 mics range. Over here people bumped Chronic, Doggystyle, and AEOM like crazy, but Doggfood wasnt gettin burn like that

Add "All Eyez On Me" to the list of classics that I think are overrated.
