2001 is the only true classic, but it came out in '99. And even 2001 is a 2nd tier classic to me. The rest of the albums are great albums, but if they're classic then Predator & Lethal Injection are classic and you'll just keep on diluting what classic means.

2001 was the last classic released coz it brought a new sound which has been imitated by other producers... College Dropout could have been one but 2 or 3 average tracks and these stupid skits ruined the chances ...

Daz R.A.W. is as close as the albums mentioned about.

Dillinger and Young Gotti maybe.

Non west i'd call Masta Aces A Long Hot Summer classic.

You shouldnt get heat for that at all...I dont think its a classic but GRODT was a great album, amazing production, and 50 actually delivered decently on the mic. He's been garbage since, but that shouldnt take away from the album. IMO its better than The Documentary, although not by much.

College Dropout like someone said could have been a classic without the cruddy skits and a few more hot songs. Hmm the Lupe album was hot but i dunno if you could call it a classic, same with Common's 'Be'.

Not westcoast but one of the best hiphop albums ever released was in early 2006 by the Cunninlynguists entitled "A Piece of Strange"

Also Immortal Technique's "Revolutionary Vol. 2"

For the west I'd say Paris: "Sonic Jihad"
