Masta Ace. He's one of the best rappers to do it but I think all his albums are near classics....

Is "Steal This Album" considered a classic, or any of Boots Riley's stuff?

Nah. That or Genocide and Juice aren't really considered classics. The Coup is really underrated in general.

Yeah, all three of those are solid, but aren't close to classics.

People throw around the word "classic" waay too much. The Coup isn't all that jazz on my opinion, but that's just my roots. IThe yay isn't really looked at by peeps outta the bay, so w.e Mac Dre & $hort got enough play. I'm looking at Blue Scholars alot now -- that's real hip-hop for yall. I'd say Capone-N-Noreaga should have came out with something. Same with The Firm. O.G.C.'s Da Storm isn't a classic (but it's damn good). The best rapper (not group), is a really hard one, but I'd say just on instinct (don't get me wrong - I didn't take any time thinking about this one), would be Big Pun.

The Coup >>>>> Blue Scholars And I'd add Cee-Lo unless "Soul Food" is considered classic. When he's actually rapping he's better than Big Boi in my opinion. Chali 2na too, although his real recent stuff has kinda sucked.

Soul Food is considered a bonafide Southern classic. Blue Scholars are dope bro. You obviously haven't heard much by them. Meth's Tical isn't a classic, but it is a solid East Coast album. I wouldn't buy it, but that's just me. It is too long and inconsistant (no running theme). Meth is the only really accepted and respected one from the Wu these days in Brooklyn, as far as I know. Of course, if any of them were to come around people would flock to them, but you know what I mean. Meth has talent (maybe the best of the Wu - I'm looking for another Meth & Red collabo. soon!). I'm still sticking with Pun on this one though. For sure.

IMO The Listening comes closer than both.

Inspectah Deck all the way my dudes. He rips it on all the Wu-Tang joints, but always comes up short when it's solo. And what are you guys talking about Cormega never dropping a classic. Have you ever listened to The Testament?

The Testament is good but it's not a classic.... I wouldn't even say it's better than the Realness or True Meaning either.

But u can't deny the fact that he DID release alteast one ****c. The Realness gets my vote, with The Testament coming next (near-c lassic?)
