Top 10 Rappers Who Haven't Had a Classic Album
A classic rap album is one that is iconic well-known, and widely recognized within the hip-hop community.
Christopher Brian "Chris" Bridges, better known by his stage name Ludacris, is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and actor. Chicken-N-Beer was the closest he had to a classic.
Trevor George Smith, Jr., better known by his stage name Busta Rhymes, is an American hip hop recording artist, actor, record producer and record executive. Extinction Level Event
Jason Terrance Phillips (born May 27, 1975), better known by his stage name Jadakiss, is an American rapper and songwriter. He is known for being a member of the group The Lox, as well as being a member of the Ruff Ryders collective and for his solo work. His first solo album, Kiss Tha Game Goodbye, was released in 2001. He is currently signed into both Def Jam Records and his own label, D-Block Records. It's not just because his flow is laid back, he just isn't a very good rapper. Stop making up excuses. Hell, Guru's flow is laid back and he definitely doesn't suck. Telling you kind of people that Jada actually isn't that great is like telling a kid that Santa doesn't exist. The dude is straight booty cheeks, he could put people to sleep.
I'm tired of white people saying Jadakiss sucks. Just because somebody has a laid back flow doesn't mean they suck. Eminem worshipping idiots.
We Are The streets by The Lox counts.
Because Jada sucks

Ready to Die is widely considered to be a classic, but that's debatable, since it's mostly only good for the production. There are only a few songs from that album that are still good today, the rest are just filler masked by great beats so dumb people think it's good rap. As for Life After Death, that album was the definition of commercialized mainstream pandering garbage, only a few good songs, and people only think of it as great because of Biggie's untimely death.
He has two overrated "classics" that aren't as good as people say.
Both of his albums are considered classics.
How could Fabolous have a classic album? In order to have a classic, you have to at least be a halfway decent rapper to begin with.
Bernard Freeman, known by his stage name Bun B, is an American rapper and was one half of the southern rap duo UGK. Great rapper, but all his albums seem like compilations because almost every song has a feature.
Michael Render, better known by his stage name Killer Mike, is an American hip hop recording artist, actor and activist from Atlanta, Georgia. Killer Mike is the epitome of a good rapper who sucks at making music and putting albums together. In some songs he spits straight bars, but in others he is on the same level as Gucci Mane. At least he's in RTJ now so he has to concentrate on his lyrics.
Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri.
