Breh you're usually a good poster but you're turning into the Harry B of Cormega Stans...
Not really, lots of people think those two are classic. Infact a lot think True Meaning is too.

Lots of people don't even know these albums exist.. Mega has a very small, extremely enthusiastic cult following that thinks everything he releases is perfect...
I don't think everything he releases is perfect though, think he's got 2 classics out of his 5 or 6 ish albums. Lots of people not knowing it exists doesn't negate the fact a lot of people who do know it exists believe it is classic.
Mega has sold way over 300 thousand records by the way, to me that's more than a few people. Also he's been on platinum albums too.

Okay man, its all good...
Does any of this mean the Realness isn't classic?
Are you saying it didn't make enough waves amongst heads in 2001?
Who cares if casual fans didn't know about it or pick it up.
With all of that said - I think Mega's got 3 4.5 mic albums.
Realness was extremely well acclaimed, so was True Meaning they were big for underground Hip Hop releases, won awards and sold records and a lot of acclaim.

I was challenging his definition of "a lot".... That's all...
Even if every single person that bought his album said it was classic, that's still a relatively small sample size...
An album isn't classic due to the fame of it, it's about the quality of the music. Mega has a solid fan base. By that criteria we could say a lot of classic albums weren't because they weren't mainstream.
Fun fact - I bought the realness twice.
The community of serious fans is pretty small I'd bet.
There has to be some minimum threshold though - Mega clearly meets the standard.
I don't think there does at all, I think it's music, even if a classic album is not heard by less than 100 people it's still a classic. EG: Let's say Infamous never blew and was local to QB, would it still be a classic? Yes to me because of the QUALITY of the music.
Yeah - but to take what you are saying to the limits of logic - that would mean I could record an album - never play it for anyone - and it still be a classic.
