Give an album that is said to be a classic, but you don't think deserves that honor.
Give another album that you still believe is a classic, but it's just not your type or style of hip hop.
I'ma do mine...
1. All Eyez on Me
Extremely overrated album, really. It contains a bunch of filler tracks that furthermore emphasize his "thug" style of living that he already made clear in the first track "Ambitionz Az a Ridah". Record gets repetitive after several tracks and it very soon gets clear that Suge Knight wanted 2Pac to do the album, taking in to considerable account his previous album Me Against the World with its intro-perspective outlook on urban life and future album The Don Killuminati: 7 Day Theory with its rebellious attitude towards other rappers, as compared to All Eyez on Me's surprisingly... poppy mood.
But on the other hand, my favorite 2Pac song is on there: I Ain't Mad at Cha, a depressing account of dying friends. Also, other tracks like "Life Goes On" and "Only God Can Judge Me" partly save the album from being mediocre, so it is in average a solid effort from 2Pac, although that's not saying much, in contrast to his other better albums...
2. Doggystyle
It's a little monotonous after the first few tracks, although Snoop manages to save it with his story-telling ability, although ironically, his lack of complex lyrics ruin it as well.
It's a classic album for sure though. Its impact and influence in both lyricism and production is significant on the hip hop community. Besides, it was the first rap album that sold so much.
Your turns.
