Aubrey gets classic thrown at him a lot. It makes sense the value of the word would plummet even further.
So Far Gone is a classic mixtape tho
after a certain point you deserve the empirical response....
Anyway, MF DOOM is the best rap artist of the naughties bar none in terms of output.
Idk, he was pretty nasty on Like Water For Chocolate, still his overall (production, rapping etc.) best album to me.

...this is some elaborate prank like when y'all all decided to pretend to like Lil B, right? You're not seriously prescribing 4 (FOUR!) classics to Doom, right?
THe first four range from good to great, so not much of a stretch.

Dead ass serious; all quality works with different rapping styles, themes, characters played, and production. Classics. 5 mics.
Yeah, I'd agree with this.
the only debatable one (of the 4) is MM...Food. the other 3 are rock solid locks.
Vaudeville Villain is so good. I still argue it's his best work.
LWFC is dope. He still had the Sense aura about him.

Honestly, words have failed me. I have nothing to say to people who think DOOM produced 4 classic albums.
Monotoned fuck doesn't even have a great song, let along a great album, let alone a classic.

see this is what i wanted, ya'll got some interesting shit goin now
for real? i havent heard the ruler in a minute, was just bumping behind bars and that shit he did with outkast the other day...what's the most recent we've heard from dude?
okay this is the part where ima just leave the names of stuff id like ya'll to list as their definitive works cause ive either slept or only heard singles/etc and havent given them enough of an honest spin in my mind
(i spent a lotta time with blowout comb but that's it)
ah, was wondering which was the last one...i dont recall thinking Operation was on that level but i should revisit it. i still bump DANGERDOOM but no way is that classic
see Snoop would totally fit my favorite list if i cheated & said like "from deep cover to doggfather" or so, after that i still love dude but he does nothing for me on the mic most times. that 92 era and for years after though, he felt untouchable for me
damn, see i know L gets his props but i heard his tape around when i caught Black Moon finally and neither totally clicked, likely cause i was already on 36/illmatic's nuts by then. also adding to the list

Top 5 is all about consistency to me. Album wise, Ghostface and DOOM are arguably the most consistent rappers of all time, with perhaps KRS in third. In terms of overall skill, Nas and G Rap have been rapping circles around dudes since the late 80s; in fact they're the two best rappers on the list, with Nas being the best lyricist. But I give Ghost the crown because he has three classic albums while Nas has two. Plus when you count the Wu shit, Ghost's output looks even more impressive.

Nah scrolled through both albums today and decided to throw it up and see which y'all would vote for because I dig both. It was more of a question asking who y'all preferred more than anything.

I'm not is a great track but for me > I'm a player
dont feel bad, CRS is on that short bus with you tho
see KRS gets nom'd all over but i used to figure it was that Run DMC well-i-gotta-say-this type vote, but which of his post BDP era albums do you hold up for such consistency?
the struggle is real people

Return Of The Boom Bap? I don't see how anyone can not like that album. His self titled is amazing, and I Got Next is great.
The only beat from TMtYL that I thought was great was Next Levels
I literally know zero DOOM fans who think Vaudeville Villain and TMtYL are good albums. They're not classics breh

If 2001 is the best West Coast G album of the 00's, this is #2 with ease. Slept on c word.

Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are their prime IMO http://youtu.be/Th_ie6NiVbU

21 and Over (EP, best work) Coast 2 Coast and Likwidation are good too. The Tash solo LP on Def Jam is also really good and slept on. http://youtu.be/qSwKOn1Dxh4

Irish, if you take nothing else from the internet today, make it a god damn point to listen to Beatnuts - Musical Massacre tonight or tomorrow. I can't believe you're not already hip. It's directly your type of shit.
