Is Reasonable Doubt really a classic album?

[Nature's Fury]

definitely a classic...

the rhyme schemes, entendres, flow, ect still sound fresh today and are inimitable...

 

[Truth200]

Just because a handful of albums from 1996 are better doesn't take away from RD being classic.

is water wet?

This thread gets made every 6 months. The classic album debate in hip hop is probably the most boring debate of all time. Lets just settle this debate once and for all and agree that to some RD is classic to others it is not and just leave it there.

If reasonable Doubt is a classic then so is Relapse

dap / undap, post reported

The not being called a classic when it first came out argument is the dumbest reason ever to not think of something as classic. Classic things are classic because they stand the test of time, not because you jumped the gun and called it so off of a couple listens.

Think of how many albums you highly rated initially, but as time went on, you rated it way lower than before.

If you don't like dude for whatever crazy reason you've formulated in your head then just say that.

The album is classic. Deal with it.

breh most of these dudes are morons with no use of logic or common sense when it comes to jay-z.

It's Lord Camel's guzzlers Elliot Wilson & Dream Hampton fault for "RD Classic" hogwash

...in 96, nobody uttered such fallacy

case in point

 

[hiphip]

will never be classic.

 

[JYoung24]

Not a jay fan but thats a classic. But yall are right about it not being considered one when it came out

 

[DoomzdayzV]

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

so BKs Finest, Coming of Age, and Cashmere Thoughts are the weak links on that album? You sound like a fukkin clown

 

[MaNu Minu]

Another thing is if it was that easy to get your album labeled a classic, why not just do the same for all his albums, since people will believe anything he says.

I mean, LL made an album called G.O.A.T. proclaiming to be that, and we see how everyone all followed that.
