@ anyone naming Mobb Deep or Wu Tang albums, not sayin they not classic but those albums just SOUND like 1995-96.
Also somebody said Jay-Z-Vol.2 them wack azz Swizz and Timbo beats would be out of place like hell today, that whole late 90's-early 00's NY sound when they stopped sampling has aged like shyt.
Now them 90's Three Six Mafia albums
Co-Sign!! i keep forgetting that chronic 2001 dropped in 99, late 99 but regardless!
anything from tribe sounds dated as hell tho
like i said in the other thread. the idea of rap music being considered dated in 2012 is just ridiculous considering the fact that the bar is currently lowered at its lowest point ever(try saying that 5 times).
even alot of the stuff that actually does sound dated, comes off as fresh & new in 2012.
It's Dark & Hell Is Hot
