Based on this tweet how many albums qualify?

I mean obviously..

What musical artist in any genre has 6 classic albums?

 

[KingBlafy]

You need TIME to dictate what really is a classic

Albums come out every day, from okay to great and all called a classic

Then next week another set of albums comes out

Everything comes and goes so fast

Illmatic, It was written, I am, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, God's Son.

Nas got 6 Classics.

Illmatic, It was written, I am, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, God's Son.

Nas got 6 Classics.

I give him 4 out of 6 of those. And I did enjoy Magic 1 a lot so I have to revisit that one

i can’t be the only hip hop fan who doesn’t care about the classic title
plenty of albums niggas deemed classics i dont even enjoy

Close to what?

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

Rappers drop so often now in this fast food era albums cant be a classic because they all sound like one big album...

I lost count of the GxFR albums last few years, whilst they are dope I forget them so quick as the next comes out, then the next one after that...

It was better when rappers dropped once or twice a year imo you could marinate on an album and allow for albums to sound different to the previous one...

6 classics?...

 

[Disanthrope]

I feel like Jay Z was what the OP was based off

It's like saying "no basketball player has six rings" facetiously

 

[konceptjones]

There might be an argument to be made for EPMD, but aside from them, there's really not many rappers with a catalog deep enough outside of Too $hort, Common, Jay, Nas, or someone like that.

Y'all taking crazy pills

Id say Nas got 7 Classics if we really gonna talk about it. Hip hop is dead was a movement. I remember when it came out, Every1 was going at him still he stand his ground and sold like 400k first week.

Nas has 3 classics imo. Illmatic, It Was Written and Stillmatic. I don’t count Lost Tapes as a real Nas album, because it’s unreleased tracks from the I Am and Stillmatic recording sessions.

 

[5th Letter]

Hov has Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint. I can be talked into The Black Album.

6 classics is a tall order. Niggas lists have like 2 classics and fill the rest with albums they like just to hype their fav artists, proving OP point.

No artist is constantly pumping out classics
