I can't think of a single album besides maybe RD that people actually agree on calling a classic retrospectively after it initially was considered good/great.By people I mean the actual hip hop fanbase by the way. Not cac writers and delusional EM stans that have 5 hip hops artists in their entire library. Yeah a great album could be slept on, sometimes albums are too ahead of their time, but you're out of your mind if you think people are going to actually buy this garbage, According to you Em is currently on a legendary run that has not only never been seen before but according to you the man never even took a decline! In reality most rap fans look at his last 10 years with either disgust or disinterest. You are not on the same plane of realitysoon to be 7
Every CD critics gave it a 3, then 3
Years later, they'd go back and re-rate it
And call the Slim Shady LP the greatest
The Marshall Mathers was a classic
But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it
I guess enough time just ain't passed, yet
A couple more years, that shyt'll be ill-matic
Elaborate. It wasn't horrible if you listen to it.
I heard it was ass too, but I haven't heard it yet
