DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted September 15, 2013 Holy East Coast... lol. Anyway, I think the whole classic thing is pretty subjective. Their are probably a handful of albums that everyone agrees are classics, but after that it gets pretty sporadic. I know personally, I consider Section. 80 AND GKMC classics, but many people disagree. Hiiipower is the best reletavily new songs I've heard in a while.

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted September 15, 2013 I also think you can make the case for 808 being a classic. I know it's not really a "hip hop" or "rap" specific album, but still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted September 17, 2013 http://www.statista.com/statistics/188910/us-music-album-sales-by-genre-2010/ The sales statistics will weigh heavily in Rock's favor because fans of hip hop steal their CDs. Duh. Also, any list with Lil' Wayne on it is immediately invalid. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turry 755 Posted September 19, 2013 Quite a nice list. not a big fan of rap. But I do love me some Ice cube and NWA. To add in to the discussion rock will never die it just goes through cycles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lil Wayne is not my cup of tea but I am not going to sit here and say that Carter 3 is a not a classic The Carter 3 is not better than anything Nappy Roots has released. You seem to be basing this a bit on popularity. I don't think anyone's going to remember Lil Wayne in twenty years, whereas artists like Nas and Jay Z and Nappy Roots will definitely transcend the time barrier, even if Jay Z has gone downhill, out of those three.
