OPINION Worst Rapper With a Classic Album?

[BRIAN B.]

I do know nigga. Hammer was seen as a joke back then. Nobody was calling his albums classic.

lol bruh

everyone didn't see him as a joke, even if you & millions of others did


cuz there was still millions of people who bought & enjoyed dancing to his music

Hammer was polarizing...he wasn't unanimously considered a joke...he couldn't have lasted as long as he did....dont let curated commentary misrepresent his moment

Hell, 2 Live Crew was polarizing as well if we wanna take it there....but history doesn't present them like hammer for some reason

Polarizing is one thing.

Saying bcuz he sold 10 million albums means it's a classic is fukn dumb.

if Get Rich or Die Tryin can be (despite it aging horribly), why can't Hammer?

I'm not even the biggest 50 fan by any measure but to say it aged horribly, like nigga what?! The only song I wouldn't listen to is Wanksta/In Da Club because of what mainstream yts did to it but literally almost every other track bangs to this day

I see some have lost their minds in this thread...

Also the definition of "classic" may need to be explained.

How you gon say bruh wack with 3 classics

Region bias

 

[Al G. Rhythm]

Region bias

Not really and even if he had 3 classics (he doesn’t) he could simply be the worst rapper with 3 classics

 

[chhleon]

Region bias

TM101 and The Inspiration for sure are certified classics and I'm an East Coast thoroughbred

50 cent-grodt

let me just add that when i said grodt
i was speaking on true classics like ob4cl, infamous, illmatic, reasonable doubt, tribe, outkast, death certificate, ready to die, etc etc

true classics
of all those i think fifty is the worst rapper ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if i knew shit like mc hammer and soulja boy had “classics” i obviously wouldn’t have said fifty cent

The game is a better rapper than Jeezy

Understood

But that wasn't my position

And as arbitrary as the "classic" designation is used, Hammer is just as if not more eligible than damn near everyone mentioned in here.

& that's the thing about it


do you have to like the album to consider it classic?

can an album be a classic if you don't like it?

it's all subjective anyways

GRODT and TM101 are two of the most overrated Hip-Hop albums EVER! Neither is a classic.
