Fuck it, classic is a highly questionable term, and means something different to each person.
Classic to me, is when a album is groundbreaking, and creates a new trend/sound that will be followed for years.
In hiphop-terms the lyrics gotta be on point too.
The biggest classic in hiphop to me, is 2001..

One which many people have missed out that I believe is a true classic:
Blackstar - Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Blackstar
This is a complete classic to me, and is easily in my Top 10 albums of all time.
