^Like I said, if this thread was in Pac's name. People would ring off "California Love", "Dear Mama", "Changes", etc. It would be obvious Pac has some indisputable classics.

Hate It or Love It? A mainstream single, that 50 Cent DOMINATED on & wrote for him? On top of that, the hook is the only part that keeps you interested years later. Amazing hook.

Don't get me wrong, great song. Love it. Hip Hop classic? In the same league as all those songs made by rappers Game consistently name drops in his music? Really? I'm sorry, I just disagree.

1. T.R.O.Y.
2. C.R.E.A.M.
3. New York State of Mind
4. Hate It or Love It
5. Stan
Really?

The homie above was like, "Dreams"? With a question mark. I think if you really need to question it, it's a safe bet it probably isn't regarded as a Hip Hop classic.

So, in your opinion, what makes an album or song, classic?

I mean, generally classic? I'm not disputing people have the right to call things classic. I think Joe Budden has classics. Xzibit's "Weapons of Mass Destruction" was a personal classic. If people don't agree, I can understand why.

However, something that is generally classic is something a large amount of people understand is truly classic. You're not gunna find too many people who will tell you Dre doesn't have two classic albums or Nas doesn't have any classic songs. Basically something that will live on beyond your career. Game doesn't have that. A lot of rappers don't. Game is just one of them.

No. Many high quality songs, but none that have wide enough recognition to be considered classics.

No, he doesn't.

He's capable of making dope songs but that's about it.


Like someone said hate it or love it is close but that's because of 50, 50 wrote an amazing hook and a dope verse. You can take game out of the song and replace him with anyone from g unit and it's just as good( the remix is proof of this) but take 50 off the song and it's not the same

"The Documentary" from the album The Documentary. Im sure most of you probably wouldnt agree with me but I personally feel the song is a classic. My reasons are because of the song's concept. This was the title track to the album and was meant for one purpose and that was Game's way of telling everyone that his name belongs up there with the greats. The hook is mad play on words tieing Game's all time list of classic albums and throwing his own at the end of the list. Clearly it shows he has a large ego, but for a new artist to make the impact he did as fast as he did I saw it as a bold statement. This is the one Game song I know I will never get tired of hearing.

But on a side note my favorite Game track is one of his early tracks from the Get Low record days with JT Tha Bigga Figga. My all time favorite Game track is "Troublesome" off Untold Story Vol. 2 not to be confused with the one off West Coast Ressurection. "Troublesome" has no hook and seems incomplete but features the best Game verses I have heard to date.

Thats just my two cents.

Nope. But it's not necessarily a bad thing.

"Hate It Or Love It" is a classic, it was one of the biggest hip hop songs of last generation felt by all types of heads. It doesn't if it was basically a 50 Cent song, it was on Games album, so yes, Game has a classic.

Not at all. Where I was that track got major burn, whether it was in clubs, parties or whips, heard it everywhere. The underground heads didn't like it cos it was 50, but other than that everyone loved it from what I saw. It was top 10 in multiple countries and was nominated for 2 Grammy's. Song still goes to this day

I def think "This is How We Do" and "Hate it or Love It" are classic tracks in most people's eyes.

i do too. not a game fan, never listened to any of his albums seriously, don't check for dude's music (unless it features an artist i'm interested in) but I think This is how we do & hate it or love it both fall into the hip-hop classic song category. classic doesn't necessarily mean extremely dope (i can't stand "stan" but i'll never deny its classic status), it can also mean a staple song that marked its time. i think they both did.

300 bars is also a classic to me for the impact it made in the industry at the time. not to mention it was dope.
