[CARLOS ROSSI]

first off the lyrics got to be real or gotta have some credibility, the beats of course gotta be knoccin or at least fit the song, voice is a definite factor cause a classic cd gets knocced all the way thru if you cant stand to listen to 5 songs straight of dudes voice it aint a classic!

GOTTI

u guys pretty much summed it up.....but also a classic cd is supposed to be somethin you SHOULD be able to listen to years down the line....whether it fits the times or not....

 

[Tooper]

i feel that.if you go back to it after a few months or even a couple years it's obviously sumthing you like.

albums i do that with are ugk and nwa.

wut makes an album a classic?

every track is hot.........u dont have to touch the forward button on the cd player (Dre-The Chronic, Snoop-Doggystyle, 2pac-me against the world & All Eyez on Me, etc)

wut makes an album good?

only havin to skip a couple tracks......maybe 10 good tracks outta 15 on the disc......

 

[Tooper]

good point thats true.

It takes tight beats, lyrics , order of tracks, content, flow, and sometimes the album has to come out at the right time.

First off, you gotta have top notch production, cuz I can't feel an artist regardless of how talented he is, if his beats are lackin (for example-Canibus). But as far as the artist goes, just come with something original. Do the shit your way, put a different twist on shit. Start your own style that people are gonna wanna clone off you. Combine those two, and to me, you got a classic album. Just like:

NWA-Straight Outta Compton
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony-Creepin On Ah Come Up & E. 1999 Eternal
Twista-Adrenaline Rush
Snoop Doggy Dogg-Doggystyle
2Pac-Me Against The World
Nas-Illmatic & Stillmatic
Dr. Dre-The Chronic
UGK-Super Tight
Scarface-The Fix
Do Or Die-Picture This
Brotha Lynch Hung-Season Of Da Siccness
