the material is damn near classic but i think you have to consider it a classic just because of the enormous impact it had on hip hop. this was when Puff,Mase,the Lox and even Jay-Z were running around in their shiney suits talking about how they were balling and a whole bunch of other fuckboy shit. X just came out and made it possible for hardcore rappers to move major units once again. and without X there certainly wouldn´t have been no market for cats like 50 Cent and the Lox(after they left Bad Boy). X may not be the best rapper of all time but he sure as hell is the rapper that´s made the biggest impact on hip hop as a whole since Pac and Big.
DMX's first 2 albums are near classics. He definetly put out some of the best commercial hip hop during that time period.
It's definitely a classic.
