Slept on Cla**ics

[Msanii_XL]

The Coming- Busta Rhymes...Brilliance!

[MrC The Rap God Almighty]

Nice picks ya'll. NIA and Soul on Ice are definite favourites.

Keeping it on that West Coast tip, here's two more albums that are mad underrated.

I remember Biggie saying in an interview how much he was bumping this when it came out. Dope Dope Shit.




Kurupt the Kingpin @ his best. Daz's production was top notch.

[Malcom E.K.K.S]

dat Dogg food was dope, West coast was on top of ish then. Still on the left side; one slept on cla**ic is this.

Before he was pimped by the majors, this dude was mad vicious In the words of Kurupt "The only X i know's my Nigga Xzibit and RBX".

Dogg Food did it for me, i was raised on this! Maftown/Mmabatho mid nineties!! memories...

[TATEguru v.2K9]

Seen seen....I see yours and I raise you this one...

This album captures the feeling of psychosis so well....didnt smoke weed back then...but this shit got me high
The White Sheet,Jesse James,Never seen a man cry and Hand of the dead body ft Ice Cube

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 ?

Yeah I don't know if it is generally mentioned in Top 25's but definately deserves to be there.
I was just listening to "Hand of the Dead Body" last night & that Cube verse personifies 90's Gangsta Rap to the fullest. If there was ever a definitive Gansta Rap verse this is it:

You best to free your mine
Before I free my nine
And stop f***in with the void in pop
Or feel my hot rocks
Bang,bang, boom boom, ping ping I'm the black
White boys gat a magazine and don't kow how to act
I'll attack and make you vomit
Down with Kahlid Abdul Muhammad
Do he got a brother, I'm it now
I'm the illest
Wanna kill this house nigga Don Cornelius
Can you feel this?
You punk niggas make me sick
Suckin on the devil's dick
Scared of revolution
Need to start deuchin
Houston is the place
I caught a case
Them motherf***ers tried to put a scar on my face
But i bust two times to the gut
To the Reverend Calvin Butts
Gotta pair of nuts?
I started this gangsta shit in 86
Now you dissin me
For publicity
Isn't he a hoe to the third degree
Who me
I'm a g who like to scrap-a-lot
Down with Rap-A-Lot
And I can't stop, won't stop
So f*** Bill and Hillary
Ice Cube their ain't no killin me

Is THIS^ the same guy that made "Are we there yet"
I Guess "Gangstas don't live that long..."

The Coming- Busta Rhymes...Brilliance!

Flipmode Squad Meets Def Squad was my shit.....and Ill Vibe....

[triplelife]

Keeping it on that West Coast tip...

where do I start with this one? I feel this joint was on par with DOGGYSTYLE and that means alot. That Dollarz & Sense track where he dissin Mc Eiht oooh weee! He gets all up in dude's grill on this song. The line "E-I-H-T? Now should I continue? / You left out the G cus the G aint in You!" KILLED it! Every song is the shit; from Diggin U Out to Something 4 Tha Mood, to Summer Breeze, Ho in you etc etc. There are zero weak songs. I hardly seen this one make anyones top 25

[Nar8iv]

some real fire in this thread:

my turn:

goodie mobb - soul food
outkast - atliens
mo thugs - the first mothug album , not all the other bullshit.

- agree with the busta, ra** ka** &...skeelo was playing in my head whole day yesterday 

what about shahiem's (shyhiem's) first album as well.

[MrC The Rap God Almighty]

I Guess "Gangstas don't live that long..."

LOL !!! Yeah. Smart Gangstas know when to get out the game and start making kiddies movies.hehehe !! Now only if Frank Lucas, Supreme, AZ, Rich Porter, Alpo and all of them were as smart as my boy,it would be a different world i tell you.

I guess dude be trying to give back for all the anger he unleashed on the world during his early years. hahaha !!!! In the history of hip-hop i don't think there's an artist who's ever dissed as many people as Cube. Koreans, Niggaz, Crackers,Bitches, The Church, the government, his own mama,his old crew,Common, Cypress Hill,etc,etc.

@ Triplelife
That's probably my favourite Quik album as well. Flawless.

Big ups to cats for all the California-love. West Coast hip-hop is mad ignored when it comes to threads like this.


Here's another one. Out of all his albums - minus War & Peace which was wack, this is the only one which never gets enough props, personal cla**ic to me.

[Supafly]

Slept-on cla**ics sounds like an oxymoron, but anyway, my personal favourite rap albums that aren't universally recognised as cla**ics would be:

Masta Ace - Slaughtahouse
Gravediggaz - Six Feet Deep

Interestingly these  two albums have something in common, they're both parodies. Slaughtahouse critiques gangsta rap with its overblown depictions of violence, while Six Feet tackles the short-lived horror-core craze.

Prince Paul, who produced most of Six Feet, tried to give jiggy rap a similar treatment on Politics of the Business, but with inferior results.

Supa!

[jiggy china]

Goodie Mob's still standing is my fecal matter! it's got some forgettable tracks but i bump dat shit daily in the car. the best album out the south in the 90s (atliens & Aquemini incl) imho

CNN- WAR REPORT

TRAGEDY KHADAFI- THUG MATRIX

YOUNG MC - WHATS THE FLAVA
