so.... MANY artists sample songs... wont stop it from being classic... fuckin some of the best songs ever have used samples (ex: nothin but a G thang)...

Lord Funk:
Represent - got to give you props - agree with your every word.

This album has got so many high points, from samples to hooks to flows, lines and concepts...

... the soulful horns that just creep in on the chorus of 'We Don't Care'... the whole concept of 'All Falls Down'... The hook on 'Spaceship'... Kanye's verse on 'Never Let Me Down'... the bit on 'Get Em High' where he's on the phone with Kweli and that girl... Bosko tearing the shit out of 'New Workout Plan' on the talk box... the honesty of 'Through The Wire'... and 'Family Business', which is so good the shit gave me goosebumps when I heard it for the first time.

Never expected the album to sound like this... only track I'd heard was 'Slow Jamz', and I copped this CD really just 'cause I loved the beats he'd done for Jay... I thought he'd be just another Roc rapper that couldn't hold a torch to Hov, but dude's done his own thing so well it blew me away.

Oh yeah, and let me say this (and it's only an opinion, but I really believe it):

College Dropout is better than The Black Album. By a l-o-o-o-ng way.

JTSimon:
Did they give female version of Alvin and the Chimpmunks credit?

Kaidy:
No offense meant towards anyone, but I wish people would stop calling things classics after first listen or a day or a week or a month. You really shouldn't even think about using that term until at least a year after the cd drops, since longevity is a huge factor in defining something as 'classic'.

It's easy to do, since a lot of songs and albums do just hit you like ugh when u first hear them. But so many songs just don't have lasting appeal in this quick-buck industry, so you really have to give it some time imo. Does anyone still think Obie Trice and G-Unit's cds are classics? I would hope not.

I haven't heard the Kanye album yet, wasn't really planning to, but I guess I'll give it a listen if everyone thinks its so good. Or is this just the Hype I was always told not to believe?

ecrazy:
This Is Definatly A Classic CD...All The Rhymes and beats are off tha chain 2 me

My fav. Flow right now from the CD:
"But I know they dont want me in the damn club,
They even make me show ID to get inside of Sams Club" :o :o :o :o :-X
