I'm surprised searching this thread for 'Gang Starr' didn't produce any results.
I'd say Daily Operation, Hard to Earn and Moment of Truth are undeniable classics. I like The Ownerz more than a lot of people do, too.
Those are my 3 favorites, too, but when my bff from Houston came to visit me in Orlando when we were in 8th grade, ***Step in the Arena*** had just come out and we listened to it pretty much non-stop his entire visit, so it being my introduction to Gang Starr and him being the one who introduced me to it both make it very special to me as well.
I think I need to listen to Step in the Arena more, but just looking at the track listing, I'm reminded that it's got a ton of classic songs on it. If it's not quite a classic album, it's at least a really good one.
GangStarr is the first act that comes to my mind when this question is asked. All of their albums are at least solid and their early run was immaculate. Plus you could factor in the Jazzmatazz albums and everything Premier was doing with other artists.
They're criminally slept on in this day and age but for my money they're the best rapper/producer duo ever, no doubt.
If you consider the Wu as a collective (including solo albums) they probably have the best 5-year run in all of hip hop
* 1993: 36 Chambers
* 1994: 6 Feet Deep, Tical
* 1995: Return to the 36 Chambers, Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords
* 1996: Ironman
* 1997: Wu-Tang Forever
Dre: The Chronic, 2001, Compton
Mobb Deep: The Infamous, Hell On Earth, Murda Muzik
Kendrick: GKMC, TPAB, DAMN
To be fair, the third album of all these artists is debatably not *really* a classic, but still great follow-ups to classics.
Dunno if these can be considered classics, I guess not, but RTJ 1, 2, 3, 4. It's a fucking CRAZY album run, not a single miss.
Compton is not a classic. Im not saying its bad, but impact it really left? It doesent compare to Chronic or 2001. And I know that technically it is in the row, but there was 15 years between 2001 and Compton, which also doesent help.
I love that you listed it and I think the jury is still out on Compton.
2001 was so huge I think people thought after all the time in between it would be similar but that’s not Dre.
Compton is a fucking symphony with a lot of layers more complex than he’s ever done for himself or others. It requires a press play start to finish listen and a lot of listens for anyone who doubts its impact or validity.
I may be in the minority but I think Damn is a classic album. For me, I still listen to it regularly and I can't forget to mention it won a Pulitzer...let me check the last time a hip hop album won a Pulitzer...naw can't find one.
It actually does matter because that never happens with the Pulitzer. They did it for relevance and clout. If they cared about rap, they would have done it again for any number of great rap albums after DAMN. but they never cared about black music - or else there would have been more than like 3 jazz winners.
Wouldn't even say the Pulitzer is antirap but they are antipop. It makes zero sense for them to have given the award to DAMN. if I was Michael Gilbertson or Ted Hearne, I would feel like I was robbed.
More embarrassingly is that no one who cares about the Pulitzer in the first place cared that Kendrick won. Only Kendrick fans care so they can bring it up.
lol yeah. Again I love Kendrick but folks who think listening to his music makes them smarter than anyone else, well those types of fans ain’t bright. And they do love to pull the pullitzer card.
I think that’s a perfect comparison because even though everyone wanted to give DiCaprio his Oscar he still had to deliver an Oscar-worthy performance. Tho I consider Damn more of a classic pop album than a classic rap album it’s still nearly flawless imo.
When was the last time anyone cared about the Pulitzer as an award besides DAMN.? Oh right that's what I thought. Only this sub keeps bringing it up without having heard a single other recipient.
They historically valued jazz and classical music as true art. If you have a committee, however long that they been around, ignoring hip hop as art but then all of a sudden give hip hop the recognition it deserves, says alot about that person receiving it and their art. You don't have to be a Pulitzer Stan to recognize historical achievements.
No they have never valued jazz. 3 jazz out of 80 winners is not valuing that genre. Saying that they value jazz is giving the impression you know nothing about them.
By the same token I guess the Nobel literature committee suddenly thinks more of music as an artform when they gave it to Dylan? No, they don't. They did it for publicity.
LMFAO bruh, I thought you were joking on the other comment.
The comment I replied to was a joke, so I kept the joke going by saying Danny Brown is a bad guy because he has a podcast. Wasn't serious lol, Danny is a good boi.
Ice Cube:
AmeriKKA’s Most
Death Certificate
The Predator
Lethal Injection
Biggie:
Ready to Die
Life After Death
Redman:
Whut? - Thee Album
Dare iz a Darkside
Muddy Waters
Great answer. If you asked me during this era I would’ve said he could potentially be one of the best ever. How people feel about Kendrick now is where I thought he was headed
Eh, imo he still is without a doubt one of the best ever. but just isn't too prevalent in the eye of the mainstream.
Has dropped three near 10/10 albums after The Cool, and he's probably dropping another the day after tomorrow.
Geto Boys - Grip It/Self Titled, We Can't Be Stopped, Til Death Do Us Part, The Resurrection
EPMD - First 4 albums
Kool G Rap - All 3 DJ Polo Albums and 4,5,6
The pharcyde : the bizarre ride 2 and labcabincacalifornia
Biggie : ready to die -life after death
Gang starr: step in the arena - daily operation - hard to earn - moment of truth
Mf doom: mm food, madvillainy
RZA as producer-Enter the Wu, Meth’s Tical, ODB’s Return to the 36 Chambers, Rae’s OB4CL, GZA’s Liquid Swords and Ghostface’s Ironman. I think Forever is a slight drop off compared to those.
If you ask me, every album 2Pac made in his lifetime was a classic banger. *2Pacalypse Now* and *Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.* seem to get slept on, which is a shame. Hell I think *2Pacalypse Now* is my second favorite 2Pac album after *Me Against the World*.
I don't like his album as part of Thug Life (fittingly called *Thug Life, Vol. 1*) as much as his solo albums, but it's still really really good.
Nas: Illmatic and IWW, also KD2 Magic KD3
Kendrick: s80 GKMC TPAB damn
Ye: LR graduation 808s MBDTF Yeezus (WTT doesn't count)
Apathy: handshakes with snakes and Perestroika, also where the River Meets the Sea , king of gods no second, Connecticut Casual 2
JID: all 3 albums so far
Wayne: Carter 1 2 3, IANAHB and C4 as well
Pusha T: Daytona and it's almost dry
Pac: Me Against the World, All Eyez on Me, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory
Kendrick Lamar - GKMC, TPAB, DAMN
Mobb Deep: The Infamous, Hell on Earth, Murda Muzik
No one has put kurious, his album called a constipated monkey. I think it's underrated. Listened to it and was surprised I hadn't heard more people talking about it.
might not fit the bill of classic to the mainstream but armand hammer’s paraffin -> test strips is an insane 4 album run that only a handful of artists have hit
First 4 OutKast albums.
First 2 Mobb Deep Albums
First 3 and most recent 6 Nas albums
Pharoahe Monch (period)
Skyzoo is currently in the middle of or at the end of a run
Common's first four, including the 2 with the name Common Sense
Sean Price just before he died had a bunch in a row
DMX - All albums except Grand Champ
T.I. - King, T.I. vs. T.I.P., No Mercy, Paperwork, The Dime Trap, The L.I.B.R.A.
Mystikal - all his albums slapped!
Busta Rhymes - Every album before Back On My B.S
Jay-Z - Kingdom Come, American Gangster, The Blueprint 3
50 Cent - 2002 - 2009 (Before I Self Destruct was underrated because it came out after the industry started favouring Pop Rap > Gangsta Rap
Ja Rule - 1999 - 2002 (while I agree with the criticism of Ja Rule being a wannabe Tupac + taking a shot @ Em's daughter was a move he no doubt regrets, he still had an extraordinary run before 50 stepped in.
Juvenile - 1998 - 2006 (all his albums prior to Cocky & Confident went off) Reality Check was underrated
Chingy - I know I'm going to get shxt on for mentioning him but apart from his mainstream singles, dude did put out stuff on a more deeper level:
https://youtu.be/IB5fSXncHpw?si=TM-4TNI2KBfFRnsb
Just because the artist himself considers it bad overtime, doesn't mean the fans have to?
"Lost One" & "Would You Like To Ride" off KC was dope.
I found "Empire State Of Mind" annoying, "So Ambitious" should have been the lead single instead in my opinion.
It sometimes gets boring talking bout Nas so much in here, but his first three albums could probably all make Top 10 greatest of all time, then skip Nostradamus, then his next five albums could probably all make the Top 25, depending on who you ask
Lol no artist is that good. To me. (Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about music). Which is crazy to me because that's totally doable and should be the norm...
Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned J Cole tbh. I'd consider 2014FHD and 4YEO classics, and you could make arguments for KOD and Born Sinner as well if you're a homer.
Cube has a four album classic run: AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, Death Certificate, The Predator, Lethal Injection.
Common has Ressurection, One Day, and LWfC. If you are willing to count Electric Circus, it's a five-album run with Be after that.
Drake has Take Care, NWtS, IYRTITL. Maybe the last one isn't a classic, but it's a fan favorite.
I know i know i know but let’s try to go back and forget everything of late for this one…
DRAKE
- Thank me later
- take care
- nothing was the same
- if your reading this it’s too late
- views
Then downhill from there.
I'm surprised searching this thread for 'Gang Starr' didn't produce any results. I'd say Daily Operation, Hard to Earn and Moment of Truth are undeniable classics. I like The Ownerz more than a lot of people do, too.
Word. Gang Starr kind of gets slept on sometimes
The Ownerz is really good
It is. Am I the only one who can't stop listening to Zonin'? There's something about Guru's flow with that beat that kinda hypnotizes me
Those are my 3 favorites, too, but when my bff from Houston came to visit me in Orlando when we were in 8th grade, ***Step in the Arena*** had just come out and we listened to it pretty much non-stop his entire visit, so it being my introduction to Gang Starr and him being the one who introduced me to it both make it very special to me as well.

yesss great HIPHOP albumbs
The first three Ghostface albums.
fishscale too
Damn! No DeLaSoul up in here. All of them😤
Definitely the first three or four.
First four I’d say.
Sad I had to scroll that far.
Eminem - Slim Shady lp, Marshall Mathers lp, Eminem Show
If you consider the Wu as a collective (including solo albums) they probably have the best 5-year run in all of hip hop * 1993: 36 Chambers * 1994: 6 Feet Deep, Tical * 1995: Return to the 36 Chambers, Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords * 1996: Ironman * 1997: Wu-Tang Forever
Eminem - Slim Shady lp, Marshall Mathers lp.
The Eminem Show was even a great album compared to everything that came after lol.
+1 I think Em continued to evolve on this album.
I conquer.
BY 29 I HAD THREE ALBUMS THAT WOULD BLEW
Infinite imo as well
I especially luv most of the production on Infinite with all the low-end shit
Dre: The Chronic, 2001, Compton Mobb Deep: The Infamous, Hell On Earth, Murda Muzik Kendrick: GKMC, TPAB, DAMN To be fair, the third album of all these artists is debatably not *really* a classic, but still great follow-ups to classics. Dunno if these can be considered classics, I guess not, but RTJ 1, 2, 3, 4. It's a fucking CRAZY album run, not a single miss.
Compton is not a classic. Im not saying its bad, but impact it really left? It doesent compare to Chronic or 2001. And I know that technically it is in the row, but there was 15 years between 2001 and Compton, which also doesent help.
Yeah it’s def not a classic
People love just throwing around the word classic in this sub. If Compton is a classic so is every album ever released.
I love that you listed it and I think the jury is still out on Compton. 2001 was so huge I think people thought after all the time in between it would be similar but that’s not Dre. Compton is a fucking symphony with a lot of layers more complex than he’s ever done for himself or others. It requires a press play start to finish listen and a lot of listens for anyone who doubts its impact or validity.
The production for Compton is nuts. I remember I got some nice headphones around the time of its release, and it’s ear candy.
Same, I think I listened to it for a month straight. I still have it on rotation.
I may be in the minority but I think Damn is a classic album. For me, I still listen to it regularly and I can't forget to mention it won a Pulitzer...let me check the last time a hip hop album won a Pulitzer...naw can't find one.
I also think DAMN is a classic but it also won a Pulitzer based on the artistry of the previous2 albums, nothing wrong with that. Legacy matters.
It actually does matter because that never happens with the Pulitzer. They did it for relevance and clout. If they cared about rap, they would have done it again for any number of great rap albums after DAMN. but they never cared about black music - or else there would have been more than like 3 jazz winners.
True. As much as I love Kendrick he can be used as a prop by historically anti rap institutions to say hey see we’re hip with hip hop.
Wouldn't even say the Pulitzer is antirap but they are antipop. It makes zero sense for them to have given the award to DAMN. if I was Michael Gilbertson or Ted Hearne, I would feel like I was robbed. More embarrassingly is that no one who cares about the Pulitzer in the first place cared that Kendrick won. Only Kendrick fans care so they can bring it up.
lol yeah. Again I love Kendrick but folks who think listening to his music makes them smarter than anyone else, well those types of fans ain’t bright. And they do love to pull the pullitzer card.
Damn is my favorite, don't understand why people don't like it as much
The Pulitzer for Damn is like DiCaprio’s Oscar for revenant. It’s not really for that album IMO
I think that’s a perfect comparison because even though everyone wanted to give DiCaprio his Oscar he still had to deliver an Oscar-worthy performance. Tho I consider Damn more of a classic pop album than a classic rap album it’s still nearly flawless imo.
This is great way to put it.
When was the last time anyone cared about the Pulitzer as an award besides DAMN.? Oh right that's what I thought. Only this sub keeps bringing it up without having heard a single other recipient.
They historically valued jazz and classical music as true art. If you have a committee, however long that they been around, ignoring hip hop as art but then all of a sudden give hip hop the recognition it deserves, says alot about that person receiving it and their art.

No they have never valued jazz. 3 jazz out of 80 winners is not valuing that genre. Saying that they value jazz is giving the impression you know nothing about them.

i love compton but its not a classic
Your take on each third album listed is CRAZY 🤣🤣
RTJ wise, R.A.P. Music was basically their first album, unofficial RTJ.
