NO

Also the 1 Nation thing is correct. This album isn't classic its very good way above bullshit out today, but no its not a classic.They would really have to stop up teh game/production in order for it to become a classic.

Only west coast sounding beat "passable" might be Lyrical Murderers, but even then that would have to be pushing the 2001 vein quite a bit.Either way The Album isn't a classic, but it wasn't a huge fuck up of commercial crap. The fact they understocked it shows that even the company didn't expect it to sell cause it wasn't following the commercial appeal.

i was pointing out that the standard of west coast albums has been lowered so much when an album that's decent at best and not even a west coast album is even brought up as possibly being a west coast classic. any year up until the past couple you'd sound ridiculous even bringing this album up as being a classic because you'd just have to think of about 5 albums that came out the past half year that were on a whole different level then slaughtahouse. there are no west coast classics coming out so people start to stretch the definition of classic.

LMAO...this is the problem with you young kids.  You call shit classic from like the first 3 listens.  It takes time for an album to become classic.  When you can bump that shit 10 years later, after hearing it hundreds of times already, and still want to listen to it over the new stuff, then you can consider it a classic.  Throw the word classic around enough and it loses its meaning.  You seriously gonna throw this album in the likes of Doggystyle, Chronic, Makaveli, etc?  Give me a fucking break.

so beats are what you think are holding it back from "not being that great"?

i think Microphone is a top beat of the year, personally; i didn't have problems with any particular beat.

definitely not bad enough to affect it too bad.

i said it before, albums in the 90's weren't placed under such a high-powered microscope; no disrespect to your opinion though.

Albums in the 90's were not placed under a microscope because the material in the 90's was so far advanced from the 80's overall. Hip hop as a genre has not been around that long a period of time to where you have decades of music to compare it too. For hip hop the golden age, sales and quality wise, most will agree is the 90's. So any and everything after that the 90's is the benchmark. Granted we are in a recession amongst other changes in the industry but it is what it is. Now does that mean a great or classic album cannot be crafted or done now? No. Slaugtherhouse's album is dope imo but when people associate the word classic with anything out now, most will go back to previous memory and bring up albums from the 90's.

Is it fair? Probably not but if you did a survey of hip hop fans and asked them what albums they thought were classic, the majority I bet would be from the 90's. That was a incredible time for hip hop, almost spoiled in a sense the amount of dope material that came out during that time.

agreed, but like you said it's not fair.

not even just this album, every album in the last 8 years have been nit-picked at for the smallest shit; where if you disected "classics" from the 90's that closely, you could find something to bitch about.

I am sure you could. But that time is considered the blueprint. It is not fair that great players like a LeBron or Kobe are compared to Magic or MJ but it is what it is. Albums should be graded in their own element and time, how it changed the genre. The only real issues with current albums and that classic tag is time. Would or could it stand the test of time. 90's albums have because of time. They have been out for 10-20 years now. 2010 drops, albums from 2000-2009 will be looked at in a different light because now time has passed. Fair? No but understandable if you look at classic albums from a time standpoint.

that's what i said when they first got together.

Album isn't a classic. It will stand out as one of the better albums of 09, and during a time when nearly all rap has sold out. But this album is not with out its own roots being sold.


choosing the single "The one" which I guess is suppose to be a Pop/club track, diverges into the topics that is cluster fucked on every album being released today. While this album doesn't have any real club tracks that alone hurts albums chances at being a classic. 

Remember despite being a album that actually has some the best Lyricist, they don't use them to the best. The main 3 topics are I'm the baddest rapper, bitches (Notably this is were Repetitiveness gets extremely blatant IE the lyric "getting brain" being thrown around a lot.), and just reiterating the same thing over and over. Only difference is you use a different beat, and a different lyric to describe it (aside from the Getting brain, when ever its about Oral sex, that line is being used).

Certain Items are no longer viable cause of how fast tech as progressed. The 2 Skits (Phone calls) weren't needed. Only 1 needed to be on. Would of been better if each Member had a "Mind in" skit. Budden you hear Crazyness, Crooked I you hear nothing but crazy gangsta rap stuff, Joell just doing some crazy mexican shit, and Royce talking about his shit.

The first 1 said "How can you have a PIG and not be talkin about police?" honestly the second 1 wasn't even better "I'm just glad it you guys on some real shit" This could of easily been intros for 2 of the tracks.

You have to remember the albums production while good, isn't consistent. Lyrical Murderers is 1 of the stand out track, but the sound (do to the various producers and their own style) is all over the place.

Classic? No.
Great? Yes
Its place rap? Probably be remembered as 1 of the few albums during Hip-hops low point that actually said Fuck you 2 the mainstream sound, and wanted Lyrics over some bullshit random hook being played over and over.

lol high off some weed, What I wanted to say was "It Has no REAL club track, but The One is being past off 1, so That will hurt it. Cause they sold out by doing that Pop/club shit as a single".

lol like to qoute this "You know why Dre's record was so successful? Hes talking about Big Screen TVs, blunts, 40oz and bitches." - Steve Berman.

Reason why his? Features Innovated Production. He consistently kept the same spaced out tone, the Topics were more then the 3 topics on Slaughter house/the ones you posted. He talked about his former crew and how life changes, priories need to be rearranged (Watcher), His personal life (The Message) (Big Egos, 2 a extent), the Club tracks weren't talking about women constantly, It was more of the Street Party oriented topics of the Chronic, with just Entirely need production.

He still divulges though into Gangsta Rap topics.Party Tracks are OK but when they TAKE UP OVER HALF THE FUCKING CONTENT ITS NOT WORTH IT. Using it as a Single also pisses me off.

Slaughter House - Great Lyrics, yet nothing innovated, Solid production - Again nothing innovated. Topics - Only 3, Sound - Is all over the place.

The album will never, warrent a Bullshit rating, but It won't be warranting a classic either. It will stand out, but it won't be consider 1 of those albums that really effected/changed hip-hop.

And thats what a Classic it. It has a HUGE ripple effect in rap.

Blasphemy pretty much sums it up. It didn't provide anything that hasn't been done before. The beats were alright and the lyrics were dope but it wasn't like subject matter or lyrics were mindblowing. They didn't bring a fresh style, it seemed more a homage to the sound of the 90s. And by doing that a) your instantly leading to comparissons from that era and hence the album looks far from classic b) your restricting the ability to move things forward.

In my view their second album should focus on creating a sound that intergrates both the roughness of NY/Jersey/Detroit and the cool/calm feel of the west. Biggie did it supperbly with songs like Juicy and the Clipse merged SOuthern bounce with NY lyrical abilities on Lord Willin.

Tbh i'm gonna judge them on the next album. They should take their time and spend more time finding a dope sound (preferrably produced by max 3-4 producers) and then work on the angle their coming with. To simply be about bringing technically great lyrical skills back then expect people to get bored.

People throw the word classic around here not even knowing what it means. A classic album is an album that has cultural significance, is highly regarded by the hip hop community, and has stood the test of time. This album automatically fails on two categories: (1) its an underground album that hasn't made a big impact. It doesn't matter if the album is better than Illmatic, if nobodies heard it, then it can't be a classic.(2) it was released this year. If its a recent album its disqualified from being a classic. I love how with every album that comes out there's at least one person calling it a classic. But you look at the same album years later and no one's talking about it, not even the guy who was stanning it back then.

The word I think most of you mean to use is masterpiece. Its an entirely different thing.

Slaughterhouse is the best CD in atleast 3-4 years  8)

I sincerely hope you are joking. There's plenty of good music that still comes out every year. The problem is that most people in this section only listen to mainstream, or semi-mainstream rappers.
