WHAT MAKES AN ALBUM A CLASSIC???
~Credit to Omen and his myspace page for the topic www.myspace.com/hearomen ~
What up people...haven't blogged in a minute...been thinking lately about different people's ideas on what makes an album classic...figure we can use this as a way to dicuss/debate/argue lol whatever...so anyway I'll just get to what I personally think makes an album classic...
It's hard for me to call an album classic that just came out this year, or even the past 2 or 3 years, I feel like a classic is something that becomes timeless, so 5-10 years from now u put it in and it sounds like the first time hearing it.And for me its gotta hit me on all levels from the beats, to the lyrics, to the flow, to the delivery etc...but lately I've seen a lot of people call albums classics even days after they've released/leaked onto the internet, so it makes me wonder now what do people need for an album to be classic?
Is it about half the album dope, just dope beats? A couple big singles? Does EVERY song have to hit you? Does sequencing play a role for you or does it have just make you move or does it have to stimulate some thought? Let me know people... (also let know of some albums you feel are classic in the last ten years and why...peaceeee)

ex#6)

****classics baby****
plus lyrical content, new beats (not to exclude fresh samples), its the staus quo in c.d. collections across the world, u get the leak cuz u caint wait to hear it THEN U GO BUY IT on the release date!
The Miseducation was classic the moment it dropped. And you could listen to it and KNOW it was classic. You never got tired of any of the songs no matter how much they played them on the radio and like Kelz Renee' said the hottest tracks weren't even released on the radio.
WELL IT DAMN SURE NOT GONNA BE ANYTHING BY HOT STYLES, LOOKIN BOY?
