" hip hop albums released AFTER THE 90s" Mon Jul-08-13 03:08 AM by Kosa12
that you now consider "underground classics"
I was talking to a friend who told me "you will never consider anything released post 90s classic" and obviously I had to counter that with some albums that I love (and he hadnt heard of half of them that made the convo awkward as fuck)
my criteria is essentially: -enough time has passed imo -i still fucking love the record like the shit came out yesterday -for this list specifically, that it is "underground"(I'm not saying there haven't been mainstream classics, obviously there has, but just play the game with me here lol)
mine might be kind of obvious/cannon but w/e:
Cunninlynguists: A piece of strange madvillany cannibal ox- cold vein edan - beauty and the beat el-p - i'll sleep when you're dead
and MAYBE blu/exile - below the heavens (i'm on the fence b/c juicen dranks is fucking terrible) or The Listening (Little Brother)
I'm sure many people here will regard me as fucking crazy for placing the word "classic" near these albums but w/e, I like starting discussion lol
I feel like in the future: Versis-illcandescent and Killer Mike- RAP Music will be added to this list

I'll be back with more later but first I want to say that little brother's the listening is a classic. Period. I feel like they changed music a little bit and their influence far outstripped and outlived the somewhat short time together.

I would say Deltron 3030. Hell Hath No Fury, Fantastic Vol 2, Murs 3:16.
I would also like to say Diamond District's In The Ruff album is classic but I feel like waaaaaaaay to few people have even heard of it to consider it a classic, it is very dope though.
5. "Below The Heavens is a classic (even with the shittastic "Juicen Dranks"" In response to Reply # 0
I fucking LOVE that album. Besides the aforementioned clunker, I either love or really enjoy every song on that album. One bad egg doesn't keep it from being a (personal) classic.

Bear in mind, in my opinion ALL classic albums by definition are personal classics. So, really, I don't care if other people consider these classic of not. My opinion is the only one that matters for my own definition.
I'm also going to exclude those that have already been mentioned (Below the Heavens, Beauty and the Beat, Cold Vein, In the Ruff, etc.). I'm also gonna excude stuff from the '10s, for now.
So, with that said, here's a couple dozen:
Mr. Lif - I, Phantom Blueprint - 1988 People Under the Stairs - O.S.T., Fun-DMC, Carried Away Masta Ace - Disposable Arts Third Sight - Symbonese Liberation Album Roosevelt Franklin - Something's Gotta Give Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain Atmosphere - You Can't Imagine How Much We're Having Asheru & Blue Black - Soon Come J-Zone - A Job Ain't Nothing But Work & $ick of Being Rich Jaylib - Champion Sound MURS - End of the Beginning Aesop Rock - Labor Days & None Shall Pass Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol. 2 Insight - Blast Radius Porn Theater Ushers - Taxachusetts Juggaknots - Use Your Confusion Illogic - Celestial Clockwork Asamov - And Now Roddy Rod - Blunt Parks Sessions J-Live - All of the Above Esoteric - Esoteric Vs. Japan & Saving Seamus Ryan Tanya Morgan - Brooklynatti
