"Untitled", "OB4CL2", "Relapse"

OB4CL2 is better than both of these albums by far though.

Btw, I'll add some to this list:

Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Hieroglyphics - Third Eye Vision
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - I Wish My Brother George Was Here
Souls of Mischief - '93 Till Infinity
Common - Resurrection
Main Source - Breaking Atoms
ATCQ - The Peoples' Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (or w/e the fuck it's called lol)
Ol' Dirty Bastard - Return to the 36 Chambers
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday (I'm actually personally partial to "Temples of Boom", but "Black Sunday" is known as the classic)

As for Meth claiming OB4CL2 was a classic, this is the same guy that, months ago, was claiming Nas - "Untitled" was a classic
Dude, that's your right now album. Give it a few months and I guarantee you'll still like it but you won't call it classic. It's a decent album. Let's not blow shit out of proportion though. "Untitled", "OB4CL2", "Relapse", etc., are all albums that just came out and, while they may have been significant in different ways, none of them are classics.

Around the time Untitled came out was when I first started listening to Hip Hop..so of course Ima call it a classic cuz I wasnt exposed to wat classic material really was...ask my opinion on the album nw its not a classic..Ill admit I was feeble-minded last year but I can safely assume OB4CL2 will be a classic....Relapse and Untitled arent classics tho
Idk but wat do u have against that album? Ur too stubborn. Just admit u listen to the album everyday and u love its Mafiosoness. ADMIT TO IT ERIK.

OB4CL2 will survive the test of time and it will be considered a classic and u will eat ur words....Muahahhahaah!

Labcab's sound wasn't as consistent, all the production should of been handled by dilla. J-swift is very underrated but the dude's a fuckin genius!! Bizarre Ride was SO much better in labcab imo.

i think its possible OB4CL2 can be a classic, we'll just have to see if it stands the test of time, its too early to tell for me.

I honestly never ever ever could dig Kayne. I hate that I can't because he is a gold mine when it comes to how much material he has out. I don't know if it's just me but it seems like he's on almost every song these days.


Life's a bitch and I'm just along for the ride.

I listen to all of his albums from time to time and even Makaveli The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory was a good album (especially considering that it was recorded in a week) but some people think he could have done much better if he hadn't signed with Death Row which is why they weren't happy with All Eyez On Me & The 7 Day Theory. A fair bit of tracks on All Eyez On Me were clearly there for commercial appeal and it had a few fillers but overall it's a dope album imo.
