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.

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.

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

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.

I voted No, but it's amazing. I thought that The Marshall Mathers LP was the most classic Eminem record.
Nobody knows me, I'm cold
Walk down this road all alone
It's no one's fault but my own
It's the path I've chosen to go
Frozen as snow, I show no emotion whatsoever
So, don't ask me why I have no love
For these motherfucking hos
