Name a 90's album that doesn't sound "Dated"

[C-Styles]

People talking about how a lot of albums sound dated and what not, but what album was ahead of its time production wise that would still sound hot if dropped today?? I would say "Life After Death" would pass for 2012, just the production on it had that balance that it still would hold up to today's standards!

Mmm-hmm.

The best part about Wu was their chit was elemental and basic. Straight spittin' over hard beats and a few instrument samples.

Ironman just happened to be the first one to come to mind. Anyone of these rappers today would rock over a beat like "Faster Blade", "Daytona 500", "Camay", "All I Got Is You", "Marvel", "Fish"...yep.
