In your opinion what was the last classic hip hop album released?

Common - "Be"

is the first one that comes to mind, i think a few years from now people are gonna look back on that album as a definate classic, more than they will with like say "College Dropout", i already consider "Be" a classic

personally,...either The Shining or ,...im sorry!!!!......Kingdom Come. i dig Kingdome come cause of the format and the plan he followed;

no skits
14 to the point tracks
no features

it reminded me of how albums used to be. like The BLack Album

^ That doesnt make up a classic album, NONE of the tracks on kingdom come were hot at all...

Tehgame, are you retarded? did you read the original post AT ALL? thast why i dont like you, you think youre always right, fuckin idiot, smh.....

"in your opinion" i read it, but how can anyone possibly think that kingdom come was classic...

Hypocrit

wtf? its the same thing, you act like they are 2 different types of music, the only difference is that the underground isnt in the public eye and isnt signed to a major labelHe also asked for MY opinion, and in MY opinion they are.

I dont care that you dont like me... and im not always right... Or actually Ill agree with you... happy?

first of all, why are you quoting other threads? were not talkin about that now, were talking about this topic, all you do is shit on everyone's opinions without any logical reasoning of backup of your points, you just make genealized statements and use paul wall and UNK as your every example of the low quality of the mainstream, and for you to say "how can anyone consider ______ a classic?" is a completely idiotic sentence and truely shows your ignorance, especially towards music or any art form

Starr Status
Fishscale
Seldom Seen Often Heard


^ 3 classic 5/5 albums all from 06

^ I liked starr status :) Very good artist, underrated :(

I dont provide any backup? Where in this thread did i mention paul wall or Unk... Now your quoting OTHER threads... and we're not talking about that now... we're talking about this topic.

Those artists are part of the downfall of hip hop in publics view, thats my opinion...

Your always complaining about my opinions, now who's the hypocrite
all you do is shit on everyone's opinions ok i "worded" it wrong... its my opinion that kingdome come was no where near classic....Happy?

^ yea, he's kinda similar to Talib Kweli, he could be the next sort of positive underground rapper who is kinda famous but not mainstream lol

Mainstream - Dr. Dre - "2001"
Underground - Immortal Technique - "Revolutionary Pt. 1" Or Dead Celebrity Status - "Blood Music"

For me it is edan - beauty and the beat

HIP HOP IS DEAD!!!!

i gotta stop bullshittin and go pick that up. i saw the other night he has a video on Comcast Music Choice. it was nice. different style.

^ That doesnt make up a classic album, NONE of the tracks on kingdom come were hot at all...
"MY" old school classics:
public enemy- you! bum rush the show
ll cool j-radio
eric b and rakim- paid in full

there's more but its just to make a point. no crew features, not loaded with skits. artist need to go back to rockin an album alone or with 1 or 2 features to have me give it a siskle & ebert approval. its just a opinion.

ghostface killah-fish scale

Don't have the last one but the first two are illy. Starr Status is an awesome CD and Fishscale should definitely be there.

Defnitely get Seldom Seen Often heard it is fuckin amazing, best producer album of all time, its by a UK producer called Ghost, most of the rappers are some of the best UK rappers but there are also a few US rappers on it including abstract rude

Even though the other albums listed were good and even amazing, I don't personally believe they are the classic.

What was the last classic in my opinion? The Cold Vein. Best Album in the past 8+ years.

for me its starr status. gets better everytime i listen to it.

Little Brother - The Listening

Can I just say,

you may think Tehgame is a jerk, but he's got every right to disagree with other people's opinions. It's his opinion afterall. That's how interesting discussions get started.

The last classic was Be -- short, sweet, hot beats, no fucking skits.

no, he doesnt just discuss it, he just bascially tells people they are idiots for thinking that way, he cant even back up his points

^ What are you talking about, i have never told people thier idiots, and if i did, it was a LONG time ago... I backed up my shit, all you do is say

"no your wrong thier the same"


I gave my opinion, and I BACKED IT up.

^ youre a dickhead and i think everyone knows it

^ Thats all you say, where's your backup?

You have zero intellectual responces so thats all you say...
smh

^ my back up is every one of your posts

Too bad, your the only one who thinks that. Others think I contribute.

If "everyone" thinks im a dickhead, how come the ONLY people that neg rep me are YOU and Gage, and Brof

lol at Jack constantly getting at Tehgame


And i'm going out on a limb but I think Game Theory may be considered a classic down the road

^ yo where you been?

^ yo where you been?


Went on a cruise the 17th... just got back today

personally i like obie trice 2nd rounds om me,i think its a classic,has a nice low key feel to it

yuk album united ghetto ,s of america 2

Well,Game Theory I think...and The Black Album by Jay whicy i really like,could have been considered a classic in the future,being an excelent good-bye(retirment) album IMO,but he fucked up by doing Kingdom Come.The Black Album would have been a great closing for a great career.

They're not the only ones.

The last 4 classic albums (in order) in my opinion are..

1. College Dropout
2. Be
3. Food & Liquor
4. Late Registration

Food & Liqour is the most recent, but I consider College Dropout and Be to be better. I actually put them on another level than the other two, so I guess Be was the most recent one.

They're not the only ones.

Oh im sorry, and your random ass nobody... You dont even know me... you aint been here long enough.

Sean Price - Jesus Price Superstar...5/5 album i was really impressed IMO better than monkey barz

Oh im sorry, and your random ass nobody... You dont even know me... you aint been here long enough.
I love how you don't care about the nobodys, you are just trying too hard to impress the other people on here.

You have been on here one month longer than him anyone who can read can tell you are stupid.

^ Yeah that "nobody" has never came into contact with me and is already "judging" i aint ever seen him...
Same with your ass... but w/e i dont care...

You don't need to contact someone in order to know they are stupid, you can just tell.

So you walk down the street in san jose, or wherever you live, and can point out stupidity?

Sometimes, but you can't always tell.

Reading a public forum on the other hand and seeing countless posts from other people makes it easier to point out the stupid ones.

ok if you wanna argue, go make a thread in general discussion... but threads always get ruined cause shit goes down. end it, take it to PM for whatever more...

^ you know you suck when new guys even know how dumb/gay you are...


i repped both Scrilla and Shadowboxin' :)

hey rep me too :)

^ *repped*

yes! i repped u to i think lol.. if i get enough reps i can go into the downloads section right?

Oh what the hell, i'll rep Jack too, this is just like one giant Neg Rep Tehgame party, after I spread rep

concience, i like canibus... you should rep me i think

ok if you wanna argue, go make a thread in general discussion...

Most people would rather not waste their time...

For fuck's sake this was a decent thread....stop your pointless fucking arguing and grow up. Anymore more thread-ruining gayness and i'll start infracting and deleting posts.

Right, get the thread back on track

Most people would rather not waste their time...
Then why waste thier time doing here either...


Anyway back on topic:

Commons album was classic

^ That doesnt make up a classic album, NONE of the tracks on kingdom come were hot at all...
cmon man...kingdome come was a hot album...way better than hip hop is dead (ok album) nas is better than jay-z but this year goes to jay.

umm lets c albums i liked last year were
release therapy and kingdome come
but last real classic album...probally GRODT (ya ya i no everybody h8s 50 but its my oppinion and u cant change that)

no, he doesnt just discuss it, he just bascially tells people they are idiots for thinking that way, he cant even back up his points
ok...ive looked through alot of these threads...and u seem to do the same thing especially to him and rayallen0

i dont have a problem with rayalleno, kinda got annoyint but yeah...

Better then HHID in what way? Your opinion??

^ray used to have good points before he started spaming all the news story

and i just like the sound of kingdome come better...and i think HHID is great but i the thing i had a problem with was the songs nas picked to make singles of...jay-z made better choices IMO. and nas wasnt as lyrical as he used to be...and main reason i like jay-zs better is just that it was like his official return to the rap game and it was nice to hear him again

i would have to say. that i havent heard many new albums. i dont know why.
But one i think is classic is Lupe Fiasco's. I dont know i just like that cat for some reason
especially Daydreaming

Hip Hop is Dead....if its not classic now, it will be over time.

honestly, i couldnt find one song on Kingdom Come that really liked, and that usually never happens to me with Jay-Z albums, so i have to say it was one of his weaker attempts, although its not complete shit like people have said

what about "Minstrel Show"? that was a pretty class album allhiphop.com even gave it 5/5 which they never do

what about "Minstrel Show"? that was a pretty class album allhiphop.com even gave it 5/5 which they never do


Minstrel Show was dope but I would give it maybe 4/5

There was 3 or 4 songs I didn't like

Watch when one of the best rappers right now with one of the best producers right now drops a debut album this year.

Y'all should know what i'm talking about.

^ who are you refering to?premo? dre?

Percee P's debut with Madlib doing production

ah, yeah... should be dope! im anticipating premo this year!

Premo with who?

Royce

God...

St4rk i thought you were referring to Saigon and Just Blaze. Forgot all about the Percee P debut.

cant wait for saigon to drop his album

i cant wait for Nagasaki to drop The Bomb

Im sure its an unpopular chioce.. but HHID... and Hell hath no fury

Yeah i agree with HHID

HHID
Fishscale
Game Theory

As for 2007, I'm liking SP's: Jesus Price Supastar
