Simple concept. Let's list some for the hell of it:

INI "Fakin Jax"
Scientifik "Lawtown"
Bizee Boys "Dropping It"
Funkdoobiest "Rock On"
Freestyle Fellowship "Sunshine Men"
Hieroglyphics "Oakland Blackouts"

the worst album ever made with the best song is by far 'what more can i say' by audio two

in fact that might be the worst album ever made period

By non-classic, do you mean bad? Average?

I think To Whom It May Concern is a dope album ..

clark bent · Post by **clark bent** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 5:06 pm

oh i misunderstood the question...in that case the answers are endless

a better and more thought provoking question would be...the worst album(s) that contain a classic song

Not a classic song but dope nonetheless:

Lil Troy et al - Wanna be a baller
(Mr Scarface had already been previously released)

Jesus, was that album horrendous

"Bitch Please" Snoop and Xzibit

"The Hilton" Ghostface and Raekwon

"Find a Way" ATCQ

"Who Shot Rudy?" Screwball (I'm not saying Y2K ain't a good album...it's like a 4.98/5 just not classic.)

"Friends" KRS-One (from I GOT NEXT)

"Ultimate" Artifacts

this really could go on forever...

yes.

There were several classic cuts on that album

"At The Helm"
"Dune Methane"
"Miles To The Sun"
"You Never Knew"
etc.

..although it is one of my favourite albums so I'm very biased.

WRONG. That is an average song on a classic album.

Bring Back The Tempo · Wed Mar 16, 2005 2:56 am

my favorite track ever is "word iz life" off prt's far-from-classic "new world order"

Ethix Skeptro · Post by **Ethix Skeptro** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 3:12 am

Miilkbone - Keep It Real

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 6:06 am

I'll go w/"Smooth but Def" by Smooth Ice and "Cummin' Correct" by JJ Fad.

Kelly Kel · Post by **Kelly Kel** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 7:22 am

Casual "i didnt mean to"

Shaquille O Neal (yeah i said it) "I know I got skillz" (that def jef beat was sick dont front)

Del "no need for alarm"

clark bent · Post by **clark bent** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 9:36 am

this is dangerously close to turning into a 'that album IS a classic' thread

ahem cough casual cough clear throat

which is why it needs to be not very good albums with classic song(s)

anyway

ill play

az 'rather unique'

Career Over Like Mike(NJJ) · Wed Mar 16, 2005 9:51 am

Oh please
"doe or doe" has lots of great tracks on it besides "rather unique" :
.."sugar hill", "uncut raw", "gimme yours", "doe or die", "ho happy jackie" and "mo' money mo' murder".

Here's some suggestions :

Tim Dog & Krs One-i get wrecked (off "do or die").

Jungle Brothers, Q. Tip & De La Soul-how ya want it (off "raw deluxe").

Raekwon-sneakers (off "immobilarity").

Noreaga-bloody money part 3 (off "melvyn flynt da hustla").

Grand Puba-up and down (off "understand this").

clark bent · Post by **clark bent** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 10:07 am

youre talking great songs im talking classic
rather unique is the only classic song on doe or die...in fact the others arent even close and imo are up for debate as to their greatness even

Career Over Like Mike(NJJ) · Wed Mar 16, 2005 10:11 am

""mo' money mo' murder", "uncut raw" and "gimme yours" are all better than "rather unique".

Career Over Like Mike(NJJ) · Wed Mar 16, 2005 11:16 am

Haha
c'mon - "mo' money mo' murder.." isn't classic..?
you're such a curmudgeon sometimes
"doe or die" is also better than any Hiero album while we're at it.

Anyway, movin' swiftly on :

Run Dmc-beats to the rhyme (off "tougher than leather").

L.L Cool J-i shot ya + the remix (off "mr. smith").

that was the sh*t

oh lord

its not better than any of the pre 95 heiro albums...and casuals album pisses all over doe or die

casual on fear itself>>>>>>>>>>az on everything hes ever done combined

and if casual was from the bridge and mentioned alpo a couple times in his rhymes youd think so too

Career Over Like Mike(NJJ) · Wed Mar 16, 2005 12:27 pm

That's simply not true, Bent
not just because of the Alpo namedrops and his slick style but because AZ is (originally) from Brooklyn.
AZ's verses on "life's a bitch" and "mo' murder.." eclipse the entire Hiero catalog
i do like "feat itself" and that later Casual "gotta get down" joint that Alchemist produced though.

GUCCI CONDOMS · Post by **GUCCI CONDOMS** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 12:29 pm

LL cool J et al. "4,3,2,1" off of whatever shitty LL album that was

clark bent · Post by **clark bent** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 12:38 pm

im just sayin you have an obvious bias towards ny street shit...which is cool its what you like...but it becomes a handicap when you are required to honestly evaluate certain mc's

ie AZ's verses on "life's a bitch" and "mo' murder.." eclipse the entire Hiero catalog

btw casuals (and hieros) best song is 'later on'

Career Over Like Mike(NJJ) · Wed Mar 16, 2005 12:55 pm

True
but you could also say you have a bias towards more humble and introspective post-Native Tongues rappers...which is cool its what you like...but it becomes a handicap when you are required to honestly evaluate certain mc's.

ie Casual on fear itself>>>>>>>>>>az on everything hes ever done combined

Especially considering his debut verse on "life's a bitch"
which is one of the greatest debut verses in rap history.

Okay, you might not like "doe or die" that much for whatever reason but "mo' money, mo' murder.." isn't a classic..?
the two of them on some cinematic storytellin' shit takin' the whole 'G Rap/'"cuban linx" steez to the next level and a killer O'Jays loop
..then i don't know what to say.
