Live.Love.ASAP. 11-12 out of 16 tracks are stonecold brilliant. that's classic quality.

Yeah it's a mixtape but it's all original production.

"Classic" as frequently used online is nothing more than code for "album I like." Simple as that.

So the real, no B.S. answer would be the last album the respondent liked, or the latest album by whomever their favorite rapper(s) is.
That's always what classic meant

lmao at any album being certified classic after less than 5 years. shyt... we shouldn't even be using the word classic if it isn't at least 15 years.

nikkas need to wake up and recognize what subjective means

It's 2016 classic isn't defined the same as it once was

Over saturation doesn't exist the way it once did


In my opinion Classic is about impact/influence on the culture (period)

Kendrick

Fewch

Thugga

Wale

Drake

Game

Gibbs

Had some of the best work I've heard in recent years..

Game (who's basically a legacy artist at this point) dropped a double album that ranked higher than his younger counterparts most recent efforts (Kendrick, YG, Nipsey, Q, and Jay Rock)

You goofy ass non thinking zombified nikkas can miss me with the group think and spiral of persusassion tactics :mjlol:

GKMC. The west coast's mainstream revival happened immediately afterward, and whether Kendrick deserves credit or not I'll be considered. It also packaged the "concept album" thing for a new generation and many has held albums to its standard since.
