The infamous is a classic. Hell on Earth is great. Murda Muzik is very good and Infamy is good. Their music is what made them so impactful. For 1990’s Hip Hop heads their music defined our generation.

A Tribe Called Quest’s 1993 album Midnight Marauders is one of my favorite albums of all time. I think it is the group’s only classic album. A lot of people will argue against that point by saying that The Low End Theory is also a classic album and a better album than Midnight Marauders. I personally would have put Mobb Deep and Gangstarr ahead of them, but I think ATCQ has had a bigger impact on the rap game than those groups.
