I had a similar discussion on Twitter a couple of months ago. Outside of 7 or 8 solo rappers, we were struggling to name rappers that had 3 classics.
rappers with 3 uundeniable solo classics?

pac, nas, common, face, ll(already discussed in this thread), g rap(all of his albums are technically solo and 3 of those shyts are classics), rakim(same as g rap. Eric B never said a rhyme and there were no guest appearances on the first 4 albums), cube, krs,

Pac got 6 classics (2Pacalypse Strictly 4 My nikkaz Me Against The World All Eyes On Me 7 Day Theory and R U Still Down?) Jay got 5 classics (Reasonable Doubt Vol. 2 The Blueprint The Black Album and American Gangster) Kendrick got 5 classics (Overly Dedicated Section 80 Good Kid Maad City To Pimp A Butterfly and Damn) and other rappers got at least 5 as well.:camby:

Brand Nubian and PE had classics.

only LL can make this claim.
and yea - rakim & KRS if we go by the 1-rapper rule.
those are the only 3.

and you can add cube, if EPs count.

I think pac has 3, but I'm not gonna pretend that theyre undeniable.

even if you don't count Kill At will you have Amerikkkas most Wanted, DC(that most people felt was better than AMW) and Predator. Cube started to get a little lax with Lethal Injection and that still was a very dope album. then you have Scarface with The World is Yours, The Diary, The Fix. If we want to talk hip hop, we got to know hip hop. I can't debate a top 10 or top 20 Heavy Metal album because even though I casually listened to it, it was never my genre. I can talk about hip hop because I've been listening to it for well over 30+ years buying albums, vinyl, etc so I've seen and heard a lot. Even listened to a lot over the years that I didn't like. Was never a big LL fan, but I respect him. My neighbor in the 80s used to love LL and dressed like him daily haha. I was PE guy, but LL is great and I respect him and what he's done.
