Probably not, unless he makes it with lots of guest spots like 2001 but not as much mic time as Dre had.  His voice is too fucked.  Helter Skelter made me feel real sorry for him.  He sounds terrible.

Post by: Rag_J on January 08, 2003, 08:49:24 AM
my personal opinion is that Snoop should be there too. THa last meal was underrated..

I don't think that their is anyone else who hasn't been mentioned, although I think if you consider the Black Star album he did with Mos Def, Talib Kweli has two classics:

Black Star
Train Of Thought

Snoop definately doesn't have two classics, Doggystyle is his only classic.

Also for the person who said Ras Kass, Soul On Ice is definately classic, I don't know which album you are refering to as classic other than that. Rassination was average, and the Van Gogh advance bootleg was dope, but not classic.

Nas - "Illmatic" & "Stillmatic"

Post by: Don Seer on January 08, 2003, 02:03:52 PM
Infinite is classic... i wish they'd remaster that shit with some other rare em tracks and release a collection. guess they will one day.
Title: Re:Artists with more than one classic album...
Post by: Twentytwofifty on January 08, 2003, 02:19:35 PM
I can't see why people think Infinite is classic, is delivery and flow is terrible.  It's great to see how much he's improved.

I don`t know .....i have a problem with the word classic
let me take doggystyle one of best cds ever but where is the big difference to chronic?
just one example ;D

I think every cd has something "negative" in it.

Black Star
Train Of Thought

I agree with you on that note, but I think both Talib Kweli albums have been classic. Especially "Reflection Eternal", that album will never leave my CD player.
