Exactly, classic - timelessness.

On top of that, it can't just be a small group of people that like it. Classics are widely accepted by the masses as such...i.e. Straight Outta Compton, The Chronic, Illmatic, Enter the 36 Chambers, and numerous Pac albums.

CLASSIC IS SAMTHIN U DONT HAVE TO SKIP TRACCS AND COULD LISTEN YEARS DOWN THE LINE

I agreee on that list,a classic will have you remeniscing about those times, the album has to be slamming top to bottom.Although there defiantley are exceptions to the rule.Example big june straight jackin...it wasnt cutting edge,it wasnt slamming top to bottom..but it was some of dagos early works,so its a dago classic.I think its hard to make a classic, almost every style has been exploited so its hard to be original,and rap has been around over 26 years I can list my classics

fat boys
whodini
stetsasonic
schooly d
slick rick
Roxanne shante
Biz markie-goin off
Mc shan(my all time favorite)
these were the early days of hip hop and it was a different experience then today.

IMO.....FOR AN ALBUM TO BE A CLASSIK..ITS GOTTA HAVE HEATERZ FROM TOP TO BOTTOM...(DR DRE CHRONIC ALBUM)

....AND YOU GOTTA BE ABLE TO PIKK IT UP AT ANYTIME IN ANY GIVEN YR AND BE ABLE TO BUMP THE SAME TRAKKS AND FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THEM FROM WHEN THE FIRST TIME YOU HEARD THEM.

I FEEL THAT THERE ARE CLASSIK ALBUMS AND CLASSIK SONGS...LIKE THAT EAZY E REAL MUTHAFUKKIN G'Z

 

[ESCOBAR 92113]

is say classic is something that you can listen to for every.....and also can listen through the whole cd without having to skip through songs

 

[Bombudd]

production, lyrics, song structure, able to carry an album....

 

[Lo-Lo]

when all the beats is tight and a nigga can actually rap
some shit u never get tired of

 

[MOREBASS]

A classic album has to be timeless...something that would be sick 10 years from now...or something that would have been sick 10 years ago.

No fillers either ! I'd rather listen to a 10 QUALITY SONG album than a shitty 29 track double CD w/ FREE Bonus DVD and water cooler type of album...

NO GIMMICKS !!

Gotta reach out to everybody!

A classic album gotta be music that everyone can relate to. Positive shit, real life shit. An example of a classic album is Doggystyle,Quik is the name, The Chronic, just to name a few
