Recovery a Classic?

[WakeUpShow]

Yes

[Tomega]

My view on a classic:
- It must have no or very few skippables
- It must raise standards

Yes, it has no skippables
No, it does not raise any standards

So it's not a classic. Some examples I see as classics: Stankonia, MMLP, chronic 2001, documentary, get rich or die tryin.

Word to you

What standards did Documentary or GRODT raised?

Not a classic by any means to me. Any album that has a track as bad as NA can't be considered classic.

I know most do, I just think it's real bad.

There's not a massive load of albums that I can consider classics - I guess I have quite high standards.

There's only 3 rap acts, that have had more than 2 classics, to me - Eminem, Kool G Rap & OutKast. Maybe Redman as well. Maybe.

Jay-Z? Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, The Black Album

Jay-Z? Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, The Black Album

Reasonable Doubt - definitely.
Blueprint - Great album but not quite a classic
The Black Album - Good but nothing groundbreaking to me.

tes mmlp and sslp are still better imo
those 3 are classics, recovery is a little bit under that

did u vote classic or amazing?

[slimsoxshady]

classic for this time period
after people look back on this decade (2010-2019), I think they're gonna realize Recovery is a top 10 rap album for the decade

Uhm, hard question and they were not that standard raising but they made club songs give a new dimension, brought gangsta rap into a new generation. New production standards (Dre changed the hiphop beat standards in that period) and in they made hiphop bigger and more mainstream. Before that time period hiphop was very little represented in hit charts, after that hit charts were dominated by hiphop.

^ good answer

[Diabolic]

I voted No, but it's amazing. I thought that The Marshall Mathers LP was the most classic Eminem record.
