Controversial Personal Classics

I'll start:

Petey Pablo-Diary Of A Sinner, 1st Entry

Will Smith-Big Willie Style

Grand Puba- Reel To Reel

Probably not, but I was trying to think of an album that I consider classic that most wouldn't. Another one would be....

UMC's- Fruits Of Nature

Good because you're going to have to

The Cold Vein

thats not really that controversial though, here it is but on a broader scale no

I agree with Play Witcha Mama

D.O.C. "Helter Skelter"

Royce Da 5'9"- The Album. Bitches

Totally co-sign. On any given day this could be my second favorite album by him, but the top 3 are pretty interchangable IMO.

Street Hop?

Lost Boyz- Legal Drug Money

Cosign.

Sandman-No Secrets, No Lies

A.W.O.L.- AZ
A Book Of Human Language- Aceyalone

Shaun good to see Book Number 7 get some love. With so much talk about Blood Doc and Sol. Con. and Triple Darkness droppin right after it this one gets over looked I feel.

Oh yeah two other controversal personal classics that Slang betta nominate in his thread are:

DFC- Things In The Hood
Section 8 Mob- Controlled Dangerous Substance

I like Quality better as well, but I don't think the gap between them is that big.

7L & Esoteric - The Soul Purpose
Arsonists - As The World Burns (if that's controversial)

Yo Kev! I was just talking to Norf about Section 8 Mob awhile back. I take it you feel that album is better than Guilty By Association? I've only heard a few tracks off of GBA, and I liked what I heard.

Yeah I have heard a few trks from GBA also and ws not feeling it. That album was doomed before it started anyway. Because it took forever to follow up that 1st one and they lost like 2 key members and added some very very very average dude to the mix. That 1st is waaaaaay betta and I would put that up against almost any other so called hip hop classic.

Mac Mall "Illegal Business"
RBL Posse "Ruthless By Law"
Twinz "Conversation"
K-Dee "Ass, Gas, or Cash"-although I'll probably never own it again.

Yes on Shapeshifters.

Also, Blu & Mainframe. I like it better than BTH. It feels good to finally say it.

I saw a $40 copy of Ass, Gas, or Cash the other day. It's cheaper than the going price on amazon, but it was still too rich for my blood.

"D.O.C. "Helter Skelter""
REALLY LINK!?!

That shit was hot garbage. It was straight up torture to listen to.

Myself:
Project Pat-Mista Don't Play

Mystikal-Unpredictable
Mind of Mystikal

You can't tell me the beats did not bang

I consider Dare Iz A Darkside classic. Easy.

While I don't think DIAD is a classic, I don't think it's a contraversial pick because it can be objectively looked at as such.

Young MC "Stone Cold Rhymin'"

Still classic bitchez.

The state of DOC's voice overshadowed any production. If they wanted to drop an instrumental album cool but naw he spit on it. His lyrics may have been fire but if it's torture to listen to then it's already over before it's begun.

Thanks for the "Remember this Album" reminder...

I don't know how controversial they are, but I do consider the following to be personal classics...

O.G.C. - Da Storm
Smif-n-Wessun - Dah Shinin

I think most of my personal classics would be considered controversial in the sense the mainstream and underground zombies don't know about them or consider them classic.

Might as well throw out some more then.

Swollen Members - Balance
Swollen Members - Bad Dreams

and

Sweatshop Union - United We Fall (comes pretty damn close, anyways)

Who is in Sweatshop Union? I hear that name a lot, but no clue what they are about?

And I need to give Swollen Members more of a chance on a full album level.

Most people know my picks by now but here goes:

Seagram - Souls On Ice
Mac Dre - Young Black Brotha
Mac Dre - The Game Is Think Part II
UGK - Every album except Dirty Money
Shad - The Old Prince
Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise
Coolio - It Takes A Thief
K-Rino - Solitary Confinement
K-Rino - Blood Doctrine
Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia
Street Military - Don't Give A Damn EP
Pimpsta - Dickies and Houseshoes

I gotta check out that Pimpsta, loving the title.

I'll co-sign the Blood Doctrine, Pimpsta, and Coolio picks.

IMO, Dah Shinin is a classic, nothing controversial about that selection.

My favorite BCC album would have to be Enta Da Stage.
