Dr. Dre - Compton = masterpiece
50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Trying = classic

I guess if that's the logic we're speaking on with these terms that would be an example of my definitions

LOL at Sticky Fingaz creating a masterpiece though  :laugh: no hate, to each their own but that's hilarious

50 as classic?

100%, there is no denying it... album bangs from to back, was both critically and commercially successful and changed the rap game

Both classics .. I mean, grodt might be borderline, but it's right there

No difference between masterpiece and classic .. It's just some shit mdogg came up wit. The dictionary itself has those words as interchangeable.

I guess when you say 'masterpiece' I think of an album that just flows perfectly front to back and has a more "cohesive" feel that's almost movie-like compared to your typical classic hip-hop album

GRODT for example is obviously a classic album where every song is dope but there is nothing spectacular at all about its sequence and the way the songs flow into one another where as Compton is more like a movie and very particular in the way it's put together in entirety down to the even the smallest of mixing effects

but I do agree, interchangeable terms basically

Yup .. Cohesive adds to greatness, but an album doesn't have to be cohesive to be a masterpiece. Like Dogg food, wouldn't really call it cohesive, but it's still a classic/masterpiece

ok, lets strat with that, what is classic to you guys?


To me: worldwide(!) commercial and street success. BOTH. Like chronic, doggystyle, MMLP, 36 chambers, illmatic etc...


I aint use personal classic, or street classic terms, just classic.

Those terms (personal, street) aint real terms, just for fans who want to say their fav albums, or rappers are classics.

While i am a big fan of Ras Kass i have tosay SOI is not a classic record. It has big street succes, yes, 4 sure,, but commercial? Hell no. Not on the year when released, not on sales, nothin.

Same as  all crooked i, or jadakiss albums.

Or Nate Dogg, he IS a legend, GOAT hooker in the game, but he never released any classic solo album in his life.

Classic has nothin to do with sales .. It has to do with reception and impact within the hip-hop community .. Soul on ice is a classic because it changed the overall perception of west coast hip hop and showed the world that we could spit lyrics too. Before soul on ice, lyricism was hardly prevalent on the west coast. So while it didn't do huge numbers, it's considered a classic for that reason alone.

As for nates debut, it was the first of its kind and had hitters front to back, including many timeless joints .. And for that reason, it's a classic in its own right as well.  

Nates first one was pretty close... But I remember at the time it came out it felt like a bit of a letdown, also seemed to have a bit too much filler

Play it again

Play it again?  Are you kidding?  I never stopped listening to the album, I love that album.  I was just making a point that at the time it came out it failed to make an impact or any big impression, so it's hard to call it a classic.  Sure, a lot of people love it (including me) but not quite a classic.

Jadakiss and Fabolous come to mind (although Street Dreams was real solid)



Nate Dogg - of course Nate is one of the all time greats.  Has had so many great songs in his career and was an innovator.  Warren had a classic with G Funk Era, if Suge had not been in the way I think Warren, Daz, and Dre could've produced Nate a classic in those days.  Nates first album had several gems but too much filler as well.


Music & Me is a personal classic to me. No wack songs, and some incredible shit on there (Your Wife, Can't Nobody, Concrete Streets).
