Seems to make more sense than the thread that has it the other way around imo...

Mobb Deep - The Infamous for starters.

I already posted in the other one, but I'll just repost...

Supreme Clientele over Ironman
Liquid Swords over Words From A Genius
Black Sunday over Cypress Hill
Atliens over southernplayalisticcadillacmusic
By All Means Necessary over Criminal Minded

All the albums I posted I consider classics, I just felt the sophomore efforts were better then the original.

Royce Da 5'9" "Death Is Certain"

the score over blunted on reality

Low End Theory over People's Instinctive Travels....

Doctor's Advocate over Documentary (probably in the minority on that one)

Hell Hath No Fury over Lord Willin'

Ridin' Dirty over Too Hard To Swallow

Cee-lo Green is the Soul Machine over Cee-lo Green and his Perfect Imperfections

Life After Death over Ready to Die (just barely)

De La Soul - De La Soul is dead > 3 Feet and Rising...
LOX - We are the streets > Money, Power, Respect
Camron - S.D.E > Confessions of Fire
Redman - Dare is a darkside > Whut the album (IMO)

Royce Da 5'9" "Death Is Certain"

co-sign

Late Registration over College Dropout

Marshall Mathers LP over Slim Shady LP

Slim Shady LP over Infinite if you wanna be a dick about it..

Atliens over southernplayalisticcadillacmusic

ATLiens what a classic, but I still think southernplayalistic was better.

Liquid Swords is one of my fav albums of all time so you know how I feel about that comment.

Straight outta compton is NWA's second album. Efil4zaggin is their third.

Del himself said he didn't like I wish my Brother George was here, he thought it was too overproduced and I agree, No need for alarm is rawer and he is lyrically doper. GZA had developed more as a lyricist in liquid swords, his rhymes are philosophical and poetic, and the RZA was right on top of his game and made the perfect beats to match, making it the greatest album of al time (in my opinion). Looks Like a Job For was his 5th album and a Big Daddy Thing was his second so I miss your logic here. Efil4zaggin was NWA's 4th album and straight outta compton was their second, and straight outta compton is alot better anyway, Efil4zaggin doesn't even have Ice Cube, who was always their star member, and Straight outta compton is full of classics, Efil4zaggin is good too but can't really beat it.

ok i thought this was just any album better than thier first, rather than just the second.
and i was about to add
slick rick the art of storytelling over adventures of
kool g's live and let die over road to riches

oh and just because del didnt like iwmbgwh doesnt mean it wasnt absolutley crazy. i think his lyrics were much more creative and abstract on that cd "i wake up in the mornigs feeling happy and refreshed, before i make my journeys i must eat and get dressed."

^ that line isn't impressive at all

not every line needs to blow your mind. it just need to be creative and different from the other bullshit that people ususally spew. del raps about mini day to day issues, from catching the bus to having too many people at his house, and thats why i respect him. he doesnt growl or throw his weight around and act like some gangsta.
also a quick look at his greatest hits will show that almost every track form george made it on.

Strictly for my niggaz > 2pacalypse now
