thats not what i meant
im stoned now and dont want to go to deep in it
theres a million reasons illmatic is classic. i wasnt trying to say it only went classic because it was the only good album at the time. at the time people slept on illmatic. it wasnt classic till a few years later. by the whole main populace view at least
but word im stoned. illmatic is a classic because its arguably the best album of all time.
