This album sold 8.5 mill brah. That isn't a negligible feat:manny:
wtf does that have to do with the quality of the music!? it's a cool album, i copped it when it dropped but i wouldn't call it classic by any stretch of the imagination, maybe you could call the song a classic but not the whole album.

Read my first post in here. I never said it was a classic based on quality. I think that there is different types of classic in hip hop such as cultural, commercial, and regional classics. When an album catches fire like this and spawns hit and sells like this I don't think you can just swat it down. People are always calling shyt classic that only 8,000 people have even heard before:manny:

how can you have a classic that is not good musically? lots of albums have sold millions & millions of records, like dude said, Britney Spears. Vanilla Ice's debut album sold millions and millions does that mean it's a classic?

:stopitslime: Why can't an album just be "successful" or "relevant" or "influential" why it gotta be "classic but based on some random weird criteria that has nothing to do with being classic"
classic is classic dog - don't gotta be making up new types of classics when we already got perfectly good words to express those thoughts/qualities.
