^ then what does? its not about you if you can, its if you enjoy the album from beginning to end.

Ion conisder an album a classic simply becuz of the opinion of someone from the source, xxl, or vibe and ion go by the number of records it sell... if ibuy an album and i can listen and vibe 2 each song then its a "classic" imo... but b/c sum dude that i have nuthin in common with gave it 5 micsdoesnt mean that ill like it feel me?

perfect =/= classic.

you guys really think all these records are perfection? nothing could make them better? i can see how a song could be perfect, but an entire record? that'sdamn near impossible in my opinion.

That's what I mean. Like for example, somebody named Graduation. How could that album be perfect and it had Barry Bonds on it? IMO, with a perfectalbum, you can't pick your favorite song off of it. An album like Reasonable Doubt or Thriller or Purple Rain comes to mind. Every song defines how goodthe album is.

^Mobb's best album hands down. From "Drop Gem On'em" to "Apostle's Warning" still bangs out hard..... "G.O.D. pt 3"remix tho on the single was sick.

Confessions is 99.9% Ursher did his thing with that...

Blueprint is perfect I lstened to this album about 6 - 7 months straight( no other music) , plus I had the bootleg 3 - 4 months b4 it dropped

I guess I really didn't mention perfect albums, just some of my favorite LPs. I feel you DRabbit, I don't think it should matter whether the Source orany other magazine gives it a perfect score because 90% of the time, they have no idea what they're doing. I just think it takes more than the ability tolisten to every song for an album to be perfect. Like someone stated above, every song has to be a perfect 10 to consider the album perfection. That'sextremely rare especially now a days. Put it this way, just because you like something as a whole, doesn't make it perfect. I'm pretty sure if someonethrows 'Lifestyles Ov Da Poor & Dangerous' on I can give it a full spin though it doesn't mean its perfection. Idk, just my two cents. As forliterally perfect albums where every track can be considered classic...

NaS - Illmatic
Rae/Ghost - OB4CL
Wu Tang - 36 Chambers
Dr Dre - The Chronic
DOC - No One Can Do It Better
Snoop - Doggystyle

...those are really thee only albums that come to mind.

Illmatic, because every song is a gem. But there's only 9, which is why I would rank Ready to Die ahead of it. Probably flawed reasoning, but oh well.

 

[guillermo gutierez]

EDIT: ima take E1999 Eternal off, IMO this is as close as perfect as ive heard in a rap cd. but i dont like the Poetic Hustlaz or Graveyard Shift features.
