yo..and what about Games DOCUMENTARY ALBUM…god damn the best hiphop album of all time..I dare anyone to dispute that masterpiece…
that nigga game dropped too many names did too many stupid things so now hes irrelevent and his albums cant be taken seriously
Illmatic and Paid in Full, Nuff said.
Probably one of the best debut albums of its decade, to be sure.
this dude is the definition of a STAN,
by far Games biggest dick rider
and besides, anyone who knows anything knows that Doctor’s Advocate is better…
50 aint deezed no more hes soft. Nigga skinny as fuck
Drake – Room For Improvement is the top one ever.

they never gonna re issue a rick ross album, they cant even sell them at the used cd store
I guess niggas cant sell the new Bullshit out now so they’re going back to re issuing the classics.
or maybe theres demand for quality albums that are remastered with bonus tracks…. fuck id rather buy most of these albums again than most of the shit coming out today
Y’all see it, don’t let no one tell you otherwise either.
Godfather 50 about to sell another million.
Dont know if I will cop or not as I already got all his albums on vinyl
Gunplay in a 1-1 street fight would KILL 50!
How?
By breathing in his face.
dog you really think a 120 pound crack fiend would beat up a trained boxer?
gunplay is like 0-4 as far as wins go. he actually got knocked out cold in Tampa 2 weeks ago AT HIS OWN CONCERT for talking tough to the locals and they put him to sleep!!! nigga was looking like a statue google it theres pictures!!!!!!!
Them DMX albums are classic. Get Rich is a classic too!
Classic, but old and not necessary to re-issue just so X can get some dough in his pocket again.

soundz like some company is goin bankrupt
of ALL Kanye’s albums, that’s the one they’re re-releasing?
lol, these niggas cold
Why? What else could they do? Graduation? (which has never been released on vinyl) Everything else has a widespread release. 808s at one point was going for around $300. So it makes sense that’d they’d do a reprint.
I want this son of a bitch 50 dead. I want him dead, I want his house burned to the ground, I want his family raped killed quartered and thrown in the sea.
Here to tell you get a fucking life, scratch that kill yourself.
the realest? whats so real about sniffing coke on video and getting beat up every month?
I seen pictures of Gunplay knocked the fuck out from his own show 2 weeks ago in his own fucking state. niggas do not respect or fear GUnplay. wheres all them guns he always getting beat up. MMG’s resident punching bag!
Fuck that “Tyrone Biggims’ lil’ brother-ass nigga”. He need to carry a pillow and a Gloworm everywhere he go the way he get put to sleep.
How the fuck is D12 World on this list? Scratch that, how is D12 on this list? How are Me Against The World, Ready To Die and Reasonable Doubt NOT on this list!?! 808’s?! What the fuck! Where’s the NWA and Big Daddy Kane? Where’s the Wu Tang? Beastie Boys? Fuck people.
Fully agree with you but these are only re-relases of albums that Universal owns the publishing and distribution to.
UNIVERSAL RECORDS FOOL

Vinyl? What about mp3 or cd? Since when did Lil Wayne have any classics?
Why would anyone need to reissue anything on MP3??? that makes no sense..l
and cd??? why not just hit up your local used cd store im sure you can buy any of these albums there for $3
Kanye West – 808’s and Heartbreak? really?

808s a classic??? hahaha
Lil Waynes Tha Carter
TBD Kanye Wests 808s & Heartbreak
CLASSIC? WTF LOL
Yeah I don’t agree with that 808 shit, What about College Drop Out or Even Graduation?!
They should have hooked up Kanye’s College Dropout, Late Registration or Graduation not that AutoTune bullshit… Other than that the list is pretty decent.
Co-Signature
None of those albums are classics to me besides Slick Rick’s joint
You stupid fuckboi!
I’m surprise you fuck are not posting about Drake! SmFh
why tha carter? C3 is the true classic from Weezus.
now 808’s & heartbreak is bad, i just think his 1st LP or even late registrations is better. not sure where their going with this. 808’s wasn’t even close to a classic record
who gives a fuck listen to what makes u happy
… mainstream whack tho
step the bars up
eminem going back to mmlp but what he needs to do is make a new album with the same style he had with d12
em should be embarrassed should of just dissed the fuck outta drake , kayne , wayne , instead he joined them
remember when em would only do features with certain people
rember when dre would be on the beat
remeber when shady records was dope
em used to be g
ra the rugged man – supa
rashad & confidence – brand new
j.live is dope to
respect the classic… 808 hahahahaha
like Heather explained I’m in shock that you can profit $7064 in 1 month on the computer. their explanation http://www.star48.com
D-12 lol
Never listened to Devil’s Night. Should I?!
fuck yea esp for teh eminem vetses
The first 4 on that list are CLASSICSSSSSS
http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/UhCD8Bc_02c/mqdefault.jpg
SSLP? seriously..not MMLP or ES.. slim shady lp was his 3rd or 4th best
They already have MMLP reissues, but I agree with the Eminem Show part. They should reissue the Eminem Show on vinyl considering it was his 2nd most successful album to date.
“dog you really think a 120 pound crack fiend would beat up a trained boxer?”
Trained boxer? lol He was an amateur.
He still trained, and boxed…therefore he’s a trained boxer, amateur or not……..dumbass.
what do you call the exact opposite of undefeated?
would it just be defeated? cause thats what Gunplay is at this point.
Nigga got knocked out cold again at his own fucking concert 2 weeks ago for talking that tough gangster shit but he couldnt back it up!

They have to re release the classics because everything that comes out now is straight trash
“He still trained, and boxed…therefore he’s a trained boxer, amateur or not”
Moron, anybody can train. You could shadow box in your living room and call that training. Fact is Curtis never competed professionally. You can’t slant something that never happened.
