Brotha Lynch-Loaded and Plague
C-BO-Gas Chamber,Enemy of The State,Till My Casket Drops, and Tales From the Crypt
Hollow Tip-Taking No Shortz

If you think any of these shouldn't be on the list then let me know. One last thing whoever thinks Scarface's-The Fix is a classic album is crazy, the Diary i agree with. Is there any other albums that shouldn't be on this thread?

Actually, of all the album that Hennessy listed I've only heard one of them but I find it very hard to believe that all of them are considered classics. Maybe some of them are classic L.A. albums or classic San Fran/Oakland albums but I seriously doubt they sould be considered hip-hop classics. :-\
Title: Re:Name Some Classic Albums
Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on March 08, 2003, 02:00:48 PM: Add these to the classics list:

Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Blackstar
Hi-Tek & Talib Kweli - Reflection Eternal
Organised Konfusion's first album (I can't remember the title off the top of my head)
Outkast - Aquemini

And like C2Knuckles said, I'm not sure about some of the ones on Hennessy's list, because I have Master P - Ice Cream Man, and I wouldn't call it a hiphop classic. It's a dope album, but I don't think it really has what it takes to be seen as a universal classic. So based on that I don't know about some of the other albums that he listed.
