Slept on Cla**ics

[TATEguru v.2K9]

Whenever a top 25 all time hip hop albums" list is compiled there are the usual universally accepted cla**ics. Albums like abo Me Against the World, Ready to Die, Illmatic, Paid in Full etc.

This is the "obscure personal cla**ic albums" thread.
Share with us some of your personal fave albums (say on your personal top 50) that are less often discussed as cla**ics.

Me First.

InI - Center of Attention


Pete Rock on the boards did his thing & I like the universal higher spirituality themes.

Dope Pick. One of the illest albums of all time.Cube killed it for me on Hand of the dead body. Don't think it's slept on though.I thought it was generally regarded as a cla**ic ?

Anyway, here's mine:

METHOD MAN - TICAL


One of the darkest albums ever made. Never mentioned when talking WU-SOLOS.

[K9 tha Pedigree]

Eminem- Marshall Mathers Lp, to me this is the best album ever released

[Makhi The Heart Beat]

nigga plz...



Blackalicious-Nia

love all the tracks especially 'making progress' and 'sleep'

[Malcom E.K.K.S]

Ras Ka**--- Soul on ice



A west coast artist on a conscious tip, the best to eva do it. Nature of the threat is the track.  Used to bump dis out loud whenever I saw 2-timing Scripture union members in college, just to piss 'em off. And wud get high as a mothercuf, drive into town, and when whitie pa**es by, roll down the windows and bump that shit loud.

Ya Owam, I know you dude, you've always been more of a 'Release'-type cat, from what I remember - all nine minutes of it, possibly the only time ever you have dug a track Zach De La Rocha was on (outside of 'CIA')...

I've always preferred Blazing Arrow over Nia. To me that's a much more slept on/cla**ic album.

Ekks is right about Soul On Ice - DOPE album. They're selling copies for about $60 on ebay these days.
