    The blueprint, The college dropout and Illmatic.
    Those are the three super-classics.


    Edit: I'm a f---ing hypocrite and sinner since I only listened to 1 of these 3 albums

    The blueprint and Illmatic.
    Sometimes I think that I must listen to those classics but stop after two or three songs since I can't get into that old hip hop sound and don't understand what they're saying while those are mostly lyrical albums.

    It's not just that the production is bad, but it just sounds old and I hate that.
