Classic Limited Edition is the only studio album by American hip hop group Made Men. It was released on August 24, 1999, through Restless Records and ZNO Records. The production was handled mostly by the group's production team Hangmen 3, alongside Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie, Kanye West, L.E.S., Dame Grease, Daz Dillinger, Trackmasters and Vincent Herbert. It features guest appearances from Wiseguys, Big Pun, Big Tray Deee, Cardan, Mase, Master P, Monifah, Montell Jordan, Queen Pen, Tha Dogg Pound and the Lox. The album peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard 200 and No. 9 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

The Source's review of Classic Limited Edition caused a controversy.[4][5] The magazine, at the time controlled by the owner's friend and a member of the Made Men rapper Benzino, gave Classic Limited Edition four-and-a-half out of five "mics" rating. The reviewer was later revealed to be fictitious.[4] Benzino also demanded from Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, then editor-in-chief of The Source, to publish a cover story dedicated to the Made Men. After a heated argument, Hinds refused to publish it and subsequently resigned.[6]
