Some of the albums you guys lists as classics make me lol. You can't just throw around the word classic to every album that you like.

Sure you can, it's called "personal classic."

I'm not throwing around the word classic, i just named my favourite albums from each year...

I don't see them all as classics obviously, but i think they all deserve a mention in each year, whether it be for brilliant lyrics or cultural impact

I don't know where 'really good album' end and where 'classic' begins, it's a matter of opinion, it's hard to define something as a classic or not as a classic, especially with all the sub-genre's of rap-
eg. Would you consider 'The Documentary' a classic West Coast album? Personally, i would, i really enjoy listening to the album and therfore would call it a classic, whether it is an actual classic is a matter of opinion, lyrically, it isn't, but in other ways i would call it a classic.
It's not in the same league as 'The Marshall Mathers LP' lyrically, neither is it in the same league as Illmatic, It doesn't have a massive concept like 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx', and it didn't change the game like '36 Chambers', but all the tracks slot into each other nice and smooth and it fits into the history of rap as does all the other albums above.
Recovery, R.A.W, Distant Relatives, The Cool, The Documentary, Season Of The Assasin & Slaughterhouse are my stand out albums since 2004, they are my favourites even though they maybe aren't the best albums (lyrically) that have come out in the last 7 years

Although the thread is a good idea, it -much like other good ideas on this forum- has turned into a mocker of itself. I cannot knowingly partake in such debauchery.
