An album does not have to be flawless to be 5/5 or CLASSIC!!!
« on: October 13, 2003, 07:13:16 PM »
I mean, really, there are very few flawless albums out there, but there are actually quite a few classics.  Some idiots on this board act like every song has to be perfect for an album to be a classic or sumthing.  

Classic albums have a certain feeling or flow to them, incredible beats and great rapping (whether it be flow- DOggystyle or lyrics- Illmatic).  

I would give 2001 a 5/5, as well as Masta Ace's Disposable arts, but i do not think either album is perfect from front to back, certainly not 2001.

Bizzy Bone's "The Gift" is Flawless (it's perfectly produced, etc.) but it's far from a classic.  So it works both ways.

That's why I don't use it that much. It means nothing to me.

Heavons Movie IMO is the best album ever made... The Gift is a perfect example of a true SOLO album and classic album... its matter of opinions i mean like how Licoln think Doggystyle and Chronic aint classics but we do... i mean i think im the only person who thinks Heavons Movie is the best album to ever be released because its matter of opinion...

yea i agree...its all the way you look at it...i dont really think that the chronic and doggystyle are all theyre cracked up to be...i would call them classics but they arent the best albums of all time or anything. i loved the sound of heavens movies i just thought that the cd was waaaaayyyy too short...it was a decent cd...i just wouldnt say its the greatest ever made...but i can definetely see why someone could love that cd...i have heard parts of the gift...i like that one a lot...the song "father" was pretty damn good...i need to hear the rest though.

get it its awesome...

but the funny thing is that people talk about how short Heavons Movie is and they say thats what keeps it from bieng a "classic" but yet Illmatic was the same length maybe even shorter and they still refer to it as a "classic" it just dont make no sense...

Bizzy is my favorite Bone Thug, but I can't stand not near one of his LPs.

I don't dig Bizzy's harmonizing. I love when he's busting over some hard beats and just straight rhyming.

only flawless CDs I can think of are (CDs I don't have to skip, even in skits), the Great Adventers of Slikk Rick, Illmatic, Makaveli, Me Against the World, the Chronic and Chronic 2001. All of them classics in my mind. Are others classics, sure, I think Ready to Die, All Eyez on Me, Doggystyle, and Straight Outta Compton are all classics, along with Nobody Does It Better, and Stillmatic. But in the end, only my top 5 CDs are flawless classics, the others were classics for other reasons, wither it be influince, or just being close to flawless, ya' know.
