Realistically, what was the last classic album?

[Tetris v2.0]

what vibe was that,...picking up where the female boss caught flack amd rapped and more convincing than this wack biter nikka.

please give us a rant and qualifies it more than the negatively positive rolling stones bullshyt reviews and paid pr.

For one, Mafia Music was the perfect intro to show that Ross was now official with the raps

I guess Id say its more of a personal classic and Id attribute alot of that to the production. Kinda like how Blueprint started a movement sonically, even though the soul samples had been used similarly before

The album kinda paints a picture of a Miami night-off from the picture of a "boss, kingpin druglord" type of dude. Of course that image has been manufactured, exposed and the like, but the concept still works for me

The rich, theatric stuff Justice League gave him was pretty revolutionary. Not many beats outside of 2001-era Dre had that type of big-budget cinematic excellence

For the most part, the album picks a laidback-type theme and sticks to it. Teflon Don was good but also a mess because it tried too many things at once. Telfon DOn is when he started ODing on those played-out Lex Luger beats with the "insert-name-drop-here" choruses. With DTR, Ross moved away from being a cartoonishly ignorant "trap" rapper to a full-fledged hip-hop artist with his own sonic identity. Lyrically he stepped up 200%, and hes far from "elite" now, but he found a flow and delivery that works for him

nikkaz, do you know what classic means? Why are you naming this below average albums here? The Game , Camron , that fukkin Be album every ni66a feels entitled to post Nobody gives a fukk about them.

Classic album is an album that a person not familiar with the genre most likely will stumble upon in "best of decade" lists and shyt.

Thus, realistically speaking , the last classic albums are The Blueprint, Marshall Mathers EP, and Supreme Clientele.

This post is such bullshyt.

borrowing the same skillset as guerilla black and what was bitten lyricism in 1994.

fifteens years after the blasphemous nas is bitten era is not ramping up in skill.

there is nuffin classic about that.

jealous one's envy is a great biter-era record but it still is not a classic.

shyt fugees sold sixteen m's on lauren biting nas and nas writing pool aid.

so how is any of rick ross's records.

that really have no real discernible indepth genre broadening content on a redundant cliche'd topic. how is that supposed to warrant a classic album.

he did not do nuffin better thsn teflon from mop, lyrically.

so how is his material classic other than payola to aid him to save face against fiddy warrant a classic rating?

None of that appears to have anything to do with what I said

Nonetheless, I can see how someone would disagree. Ross is pretty polarizing, but I think thats his best work by far

I think he's saying Ross didn't bring anything new to the table, and everything he did bring, had been done better by others in the past.

This. That Justice League sound was perfected before DTR and even used on Trilla.

i don't think you know enough about rap as a genre historically.

to latch on ti the detail. which is also why i challneged your thinking because i can tell.

you and quite a large population of others don't know much aboutbthe history of rap albums recently. let alone hiphop to really ascertain or recognize a classic.

when it comes to rick ross being overprocessed. it is typically from lack of full knowledge on the genre. or overprocessed by prideful homers.

Since only you understand the history of music, I will defer to you on any opinion I might have.
