Is Reasonable Doubt really a classic album?

[Kenzo Ten]

nobody was calling it a classic until Jay Z went on a crusade to convince cats it was a was a classic.
Illmatic just shyts over this album and Jay Z has far better albums in his discography that are produced better, sound better and are more refreshing.

 

[Ike omad]

Most overrated album ever. its definitely not a classic as far as quality go

 

[Zero]

Yes.

Take this fishing for daps/reps thread and

 

[The Ruler 09]

Yes, absolutely classic, great album...

 

[Revolutionary]

Nop. never liked it, never will.

 

[Da King]

No, wasn't considered anywhere close to a classic at the time

Jay kept on repeating over and over throughout the years that it was and the sheep media started to call it one eventually

 

[pointproven214]

it is a classic album but at the time it was just another good album nothing special.

 

[KG1]

Are you serious?

 

[Nuuko]

No. Nas & pac have classic albums, jay doesn't.

 

[Nomad1]

no

 

[pointproven214]

and also take off those three joints from clark kent and then u got a classic.

 

[verhonggen]

Nop. it was a 4/5 when it came out but music has Evolved bruhs... now its just a 3.5/5

 

[verhonggen]

If reasonable Doubt is a classic then so is Relapse

 

[mortuus est]

LOL

 

[Farrinto]

What does Illmatic being better than it have to do with anything? It Was Written was better than Illmatic to me, are they both not classics? Anyway, RD is a classic album. Most of the people saying that it isn't are in the red lol
