I don't understand the logic behind putting C3 on there. Just because it "set the tone for modern hip hop" doesn't mean that should be seen as a positive. If anything, it should be condemned.

It's why it's the only one that I left a note, because I personally thought it was alright, and heard better. But I have a friend who is a hip hop junkie, like is into more than me and that's saying something. He has followed hip hop since the early 80's, and as he told me, to not think the Carter III is a classic is to be a hater. These kids love it and every song is a radio song that everyone loves. It's when he had to remind me hip hop is party music. So as a pure party album, in a party music genre, that everyone parties too, then it is a classic.

Just because it was incredibly popular and a bunch of "kids" love it shouldn't make it a classic. What the hell do kids know anyways (got me feeling like an old man). I was a fan of Wayne up until this album, and while there were a few nice cuts it was really off-putting to most people that had followed his career, and brought along the pop crowds that just want to listen to whatever is playing on the top 50. Is that really a hip hop classic? Just the premise that it set the scene for the BS we hear today is pretty off-putting to me, but to each his own.
I own 37 from that list and I can agree with some of them being classics others just solid worksCarter II > Carter III though and I don't own a copy of either one lol

Ironman was the closest to being left off, aside from Wayne. The Eminem Show to me was his best album, so that one was not going to get left off for nothing. I almost left off Marshall Mathers LP, but NOT Eminem Show. Carter III has been talked about in depth. I personally am not a fan, but these kids love it as much as I loved Doggystyle, which some of the older folks then called Jr. High rap. I think Carter III gets classic status by most of hip-hop in a few years. And the only reason, and I mean ONLY reason My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy gets classic status is because both the Source and XXL called it classic, and my original goal was to only list the ones they both called classic. Then I realized they left out all pre-1985 classics, which are very important, and then from there XXL basically left out the 80's, and the Source left out the 2000's. But yeah, I still question Ironman, but it's so good. Like I liked it more than Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... I might have to rehear it just to verify it. It might take listening with more critical ears.

I was also going to say that I'd put Lord Willin' over HHNF but I love Clipse and everything they do, so whichever one people call classic from them I can't say anything lol
