Recovery a Classic?

[Omar Khalid]

Yes

[Arrinef]

well its mad close to being a classic, only thing that killed it were the features.
I dont want to play all the albums in order, getting to the mmlp & his bash for pop music & gay shit. Then go on to relapse with songs like we made you & my mom.
Then finally moving on to recovery knowing that wayne sucks baby cock, and having our fucking faith shot in the face, when interscope thought it would be a dope idea to boost sales with having wayne, rhi & pink on an album. So yeah, that last statement really hit the nail on why its not a classic.

But then again, thats my opinion

[Devil'sAdvocate]

Yes.

Can rap fan stop using the word "classic"? How can you call an album that's been out for one month classic?

and btw it wont be a classic to anyonw with a brain

[AJS]

IMO not even close to a classic. SSLP was a classic. MMLP and TES maybe...
Actually imo the only classics ever are
Eminem-SSLP
Nas-It was Written
Jedi Mind Tricks- Servents in Heaven, Kings in Hell
Diabolic- Liar & A Thief

what about 2pac - ALL EYEZ ON ME albums def a classic and illmatic is def looked at as a classic i haven`t seen a classic album come out in a long time anybody that thinks carter 3 is doesn`t know that album sucked except for like 4 songs

[ThomasJ]

No, but it's decent.

[Fleka]

Great album-yes, classic-no.

[mdemaz]

Great album-yes, classic-no.

[BigBomb2012]

I wouldn't consider it a classic but it is a good album.

[Mahmoud48]

for 2010 is definitly a classic
plus its one of the fewest eminem album with 10/10 tracks

[EminemBase]

No, but close.

The production is too uninteresting and mainstream for the most part. But there isn't a weak song on the album and it only seems to get more coherent with time.

And he didn't spit a single lazy verse.

It's just a very good album. It's maybe just too logical and straightforward / lacking in artistic inspiration to 'feel' like a classic.

[Innovation]

And he didn't spit a single lazy verse.

Very true, you can tell he put time and effort into every single song on the album.

I think it's too early to say if it's a classic but without a doubt, it certainly is a solid album.

[Emshady2]

No it isn't a CLASSIC but it is still a very good album.

Eminem is the only artist that has three classic albums


The Slim Shady LP
The Marshall mathers LP
The Eminem Show


PS: Stop saying All eyez on me isn't a classic! One of the best hip hop albums of all time!
Who can record a album with 27 songs in 2 weeks?

[Emadyville]

I'm starting to believe this album is, each song that I used to think was ehhh (WTP, So Bad, 25 to Life) I realize are actually solid, well written/executed tracks. Every song on this has replay value, and this has the most songs he has ever put on an album. The spectrum of content/concepts is lengthy, and like embase said he didn't spit a lazy verse. The only thing is the congruity that isn't there as much as I'd like it to be, other than that, I can't honestly find anything else that would make this idea of a classic album faltering.,..just my opinion
