Nas really got 5 classics. Name which other rapper that got 5 classic rap albums. Honestly.

What did Kanye represent before marrying Kim K? A super talented producer/rapper that could get away with many things because he was so grand. His obnoxious character always had the green light to show out.

And like Jeezy said, "Errtime I go out, you know I gotta show out."

What does a man like more than to shine? (I mean p*ssy, yeah, but that typically comes with shine.)

Kanye was considered effeminate when he came out.

That perception was short-lived, surely.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

ILLmatic is his only classic
And maybe IWW

Lost tapes had no impact at all. Only to us NAs fans. A classic has to check the impact box in my book and that album didn’t

perfect post

Reasonable doubt didn't have an impact. Is it a classic to you?

yep. Even Future said no one cared about the album. it had no impact and one gave a single fukk about it until blueprint 1 dropped.

I think that might only be your perspective.

Kanye got some heat for not being (and I hate using this term) "gangsta," but he wasn't considered effeminate for long because the times were changing and he had talent. Plus, I'm not even sure what you mean by "effeminate" in this context. Are you saying he was never considered masculine, or that he didn't push certain aspects of the male ego?

 

[Danny Ocean]

Rick Ross got some classic albums or nah?

I would say Teflon Don might be

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

He wasn't the first rapper to go Platinum.

i never said he was. Where in my post did I say Cube was the first rapper to go platinum? Do you think I didn't know that?

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

Cube
Amerikkka Most Wanted, Death Certificate

Hold up, Predator, Kill AT Will, and Straight Outta Compton aren't classic releases????

Where? In some war torn city in Mexico or Africa. That nikka was just a regular dude.

I hear you. He definitely wasn't seen as being "masculine".

 

[Ill-Mind]

God's Son ain't no damn classic
