The people that call this CD classic are the ones overrating it.Personally I love this album but I would never call this album a classic.

exactly, same goes for Late Registration. both albums are really good but they are nowhere near classics.

Yup. Some of the tracks are perfect - The Corner and Faithful are amazing tunes - but the album as a whole isn't the same quality.

It's a very good album , maybe overrated and for sure nowhere a classic. I think peeps say this album is so good coz of the current state of the rap game. Most of the albums are completely wack or average, so a great album is very rare n seems to be a classic. Though if this album had dropped in the gold era of Hip Hop, it wouldn't have the same impact  8)

yes, too damn short, does not have the length to be a classic its an EP imo it edoesnt feel complete.  People say its good cuz there is no filler, but tis a lite album because of it definately good but not a classic yet.
