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.

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