Defining a classic is a tough thing to do... Most definately a great bunch of excellent hiphop albums have been mentioned so far, but are they all really classics? Maybe defining something as a classic is a matter of personal taste, but isn't the term supposed to indicate how much one album meant to the entire genre at a time? That would mean classics are constantly put out, whether it be good or bad ones. I would personally have loved to see "dead prez - Lets get free" being mentioned here, but that's simply NOT a classic album as it had little influence on the state of rap music. Not just every great album is a classic in my eyes. A classic has it's own place in history. You're not telling me Lil Wayne's The Carter is going down like that.

I don't agree completely, but defo some shit to be considered. -T

i'd definately include stankonia , disposable arts, marshall mathers lp,and  stillmatic


i have a tought time still to this day calling the blueprint...or any jay-z album for that matter classic.
 
college drop out is a nice record , no doubt, but it's only for it's production, and when i think of classic albums production wise...i think chronic, doggystyle, 2001, it takes a nation of millions, ect. it's not on that level of greatness to be considered classic

there's a few underground releases as well, that i've been hearing that are very very quality but lack that certain something to be considered classic imo. either the production is very dry, or the delivery is too monotone and robotic.

hip hop is a weak genre of music when it comes to classics IMO

i don't know about that, which genre has generated lots of classics lately?

as far as rock...mars volta's deloused in the comatorium and.....wilco's yankee hotel foxtrot....I feel metric's old world underground where are you now? is classic....everything Tool does is classic...Hm....it's weird...I feel what you're saying now that I had a thought train about it, with rock classics...if it's a classic, it ain't debatable...with rap ones its mad debatable....damn...some shit to think about. -T

Fact is, when you're discussing classics, its mostly the same records always being mentioned. Shouldn't we simply consider College Dropout, Be and The Documentary all classics, if that's the case?

The Fix, not a classic. But a great CD.

Black Album... FAR FROM CLASSIC.

If Eminem has a classic, I'd say MMLP, though I'm not sure. That's boarder, 4.5.

BE, not a classic

College Dropout, is. Why? it changed the game, it came with straight bangers, and not one single bad song. But BE and Late Reg. are not classics.

Masta Ace, give me a link... lol.

You obviously haven't heard The Fix
Black Album..Jay-Z retirement album..nuff said
MMLP borderline classic I agree
Be..def not a classic
But c'mon Late Registration def a classic, College Dropout had some gay songs, LR, no gay songs, but College Dropout is at least 4.5

Both Marshall Mathers and Slim Shady LP are absolute classics as far as I am concerned

also some old foggies were comin hard here lately

lindsey buckingham, bob dylan, elvis costello, and bruce springsting

i'd probably throw both gorillaz albums into consideration, after hip hop is done, i see this type of music taking over....ie gnarls barkley and st. elsewhere

also metal and hardcore are making a nice come back

mastodon: Leviathon, blood mountain
killswitch engage: as daylight dies
trivium:  the crusade
unearth: the strings of conscience
lamb of god: ashes of the wake; new american gospal

That is also a classic.. I wont call "A Long Hot Summer" a classic though, still dope..

Damn! U read my mind!

But A Long Hot Summer is classic in my mind, songs like Beautiful and Da Grind always play, all day everyday.
