long live the kane and the infamous
i cant name one person who still bumps long live the kane. i big daddy kane's flow was dope, but not timeless.
i dont think mobb deep was that talented, i think they were OK. the fact is; their 90's new york flow was dope. them? not so much.
just my opinions.
i understand what your gettin at, most of them time when there is a question asked about classic albums credibility people choose albums that are obvious as a cop out. lets be real: if you didnt really feel illmatic, post it. if you didnt really feel reasonable doubt, post it. no one is going to beat you up, its just the internet people.
that being said, i didnt think the chronic was so great either. aside from let me ride, dre day and rat-tat-tat, i really dont bump that anymore.
edit- uh oh....i think its all comming to light...lol

Make sure you say "all of them" is not an option. or say: rate them from 1-10. whatever's your bag.
black trash by sticky fingaz
"De La Soul Is Dead"
Let's Shoot Some Mufuhcuz by Mufuhcuh Shootuh
It has about 2 good songs but hasn't lived up to the hype.
The Chronic for it's production. Dre basically looped the majority of the sounds on that album. The G-Funk sound wasn't orginal. When I heard some of the songs that he sampled I was in shock. I thought it was all his own sound.
Who ever claimed anything that 50 made was a classic?
All Eyez on Me by Pac
2 off the top of my head:
The Chronic - Dr Dre. In my mind the most overrated album in hip hop history. Just because it ushered in a new sound and introduced Snoop Dogg doesn't make it classic. Where is that sound now anyway?
The Diary by Scarface. I don't know anyone who owns this album or still plays it. Lyrically its very good but production wise its not.
MC JuicyFruit's "Legendary Beat" hasn't stood up to the test of time. (Though it has been often imitated.)
JuicyFruit's "VisionVictory" is his classic that will endure.
