[Matike85]

Top 4 Releases

 

[Ibex]

I’m a Drake fan and it’s still a No for me. His only classic is So Far Gone

 

[genocide_cutter]

Bruh?

 

[CeLLar-DooR]

A lotta man say this is classic...

Laughable to me, it's a solid album nothin' more

 

[Goldie]

Checks off all the boxes to be a classic

 

[SheerExcellence]

I agree with goldie, this album is a classic for its time and era.

 

[grYmes]

It’s his best album IMO. Tho that’s not saying much. The good outweighs the bad but there’s too much filler & Drakes pen game ain’t at a level for me to call any album he’s done classic.

I agree with goldie, this album is a classic for its time and era.

Weak argument and logic. The criteria is not what’s classic for its era, but classic period.

there is no way to rate classic without relation to its era. there is no such thing as "classic period." If Nas Illmatic came out in 1950 jazz era, people wouldn't have been saying "oh this shit is a classic." They'd be like "what the fuck is this bullshit?"

You can't judge anything without relating it to its time and place.

You used Illmatic for this argument? An album that has been praised and lauded by various people across genres?

 

[SheerExcellence]

If you think a little bit, instead of instant reacting and trying to get gifs for LOL's ,you would understand why i specifically chose illmatic. But, you got it bruh. we can agree to disagree.

 

[FIRE BOBBY SLOWIK]

Hell nah

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Hell nah

 

[BDP™️]

As much as I hate to admit it

Yea

It is


Although IMO NWTS >>>>>

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Hell no and NWTS is the superior album and that's not a classic

 

[5th Letter]

He has a point tho, some albums if they dropped today would be considered "dated" in relation to the beats and lyrics. If Ultramagnetic MCs or Bigger and Deffer dropped today people would overlook it because the sounds of the times today are past that era.

Some albums are exceptions to the rule, like Illmatic or All Eyez On Me but you could still make a compelling argument that if Illmatic dropped today would it still have the same impact ? That would make a great thread comparing other albums too.

Singin In The Rain is dated but it’s a classic movie, hell let’s focus on black movies Juice is a classic but it’s dated, dated is not an argument that can be used to be held against a classic album. It’s different factors combined that determines what a classic is.
