When i think of classic, i think in the sense that someone has to hear it. Like if you want to understand the genre here are some hip hop classics that are timeless and near perfect.

You can have personal classics in the sense they mean something to you

But word. With that said i wouldnt put it in either. As an album its kind of terrible. Alot of skippable shit. If i was teaching a class on writing for hip hop then it would probably be on the curriculum tho. Just because he basically originated the style so many have run with, and if he never existed and someone dropped half his bars today theyd still be dope.

But like i like to point out lyrics dont do it for me from a pure musical standpoint. Saying that tho i do need the lyrics to be dope, but i just dont favor them in as heavily as alot of you. I give this album a 5/10 on the whole. Its kind of trrrible but since its big L i give it at least a 5.
