During the summer there was much talk that this album was classic. Game said that Dr. Dre and Puffy thought he had a classic on his hands. Does the booth think the same? Before you vote or give your opinions let's take a closer look at the album.

- It has standout tracks like Crenshaw / 80s and Cocaine, El Chapo, 100, The Documentary 2, From Adam, Gang Related, Standing On Ferrari's, Dollar And A Dream and Made In America

- It has epic guest appearances like Nas, Ab-Soul, Drake, Q-Tip, DJ Quik, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock and Anderson .Paak

- The production is top notch with odes to past hip hop classics and fresh beats examples: Crenshaw / 80s and Cocaine, The Documentary 2, The Ghetto, Gang Bang Anyway, My Flag / Da Homies, Made In America and From Adam

- Replay value. I've been jamming this album damn near everyday mostly becuz the flow of the album is so good that songs like Magnus Carlsen, Crenshaw / 80s And Cocaine, Gang Bang Anyway, The Ghetto, From Adam, Gang Related and Last Time You Seen are 1 track. That's just 2.5 on 2 Standing On Ferrari's, Dollar And A Dream, Made In America and Hashtag also play like 1 track. That's almost half the album.

Obviously I'm more than leaning toward this album being classic. Is it a certified classic like Illmatic where it's undisputed probably not BUT this album if not classic is close enuff to have lived up to the hype it got before it's release.

Impossible to call any album a 'classic' less than a few years to it being out. If it is truly classic you can make this thread in 2 years and get a response.

Dope album but you are asking people to come in and hate on this album/artist.

I voted it as a classic. Game is in my top 5 no way is this a bait/hate thread.

No. I'm not a game fan but if he would've merged the best of both it probably could've been

Easily

It's replay value is stupid (granted its only 3 months old) but it's got so many memorable records.

Best double album since Life After Death

Lets let the album breathe, revisit next summer. But i love every song excepr for bytch you aint shyt, which isnt bad but feels awkward between dedicated and summertime.

Also, hashtag has grown on me. Might be one of my fav cuts on the album now
