Young Jeezy Thug Motivation is a classic, and maybe T.I.'s Trap Muzik. Stankonia. Trae's album was OK, but not even close to classic IMO.
(I will keep my indie backpack favorites to myself for now. )
im sure i forgot some
Canibus - Mic Club
De La Soul - The Grind Date
Jay-Z - The Blueprint
Jedi Mind Tricks - Violent by Design
MF Doom - Operation: Doomsday
Scarface - The Fix
Slum Village - Fantastic Volume 2
Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek - Reflection Eternal
...and yeah, no "mix tapes" please.
Has "Donuts" reached "Classic" status yet? I like that record.

This is a joke right?
Jurassic 5 - Quality Control
fearing the backpack backlash?
I'll these
and I'll add:
People Under the Stairs - Question in the Form of an Answer
Ugly Duckling - Taste The Secret
Show & AG - Full Scale
RJD2 - Deadringer
That said, a lot of people's definition of "classics" is real .
I didn't realize that "half-way competent" is now the new standard for "classic."
So far I've got:
Outkast - Aquemini
Cam'Ron - Purple Haze
Ghostface - Supreme Clientele
Dr Dre - 2001
MF Doom - Operation Doomsday
Jay Z - Blueprint
Tempted by both TI- Trap Musik and Freeway - Philadelphia Freeway but again, are they decent albums or absolute classics?
Christ there has to be more than that.
