Wouldnt the sect of fans who love the album have to consider it to be a classic for it to be a cult classic?

Not necessarily. Cult classics and classics in general have differing definitions. Classics tend to be something that are game changers, damn near perfect, and there is some sort of general consensus on their classic status.
Relapse is definitely not a definitive hip-hop classic like Illmatic or the Chronic, and due to the commercial/critical success of those albums, it prevents them from being deemed a cult classic.
Make sense?
Yeah I understand, makes sense to me.
In which case I would consider it a cult classic.I remember being so off put by the album when I first heard it and nowadays I enjoy it quite a bit more than i used too. I definitely think the album grows on you, even if you liked it initially.

The production is probably my 2nd favorite after MMLP, Dre did his thing.
I loved this album from the very first listen and still do, I never cared for anyone's opinion.
I really wanted to post, but Rev pretty much said it.
Every song on Relapse feels like it took a month to make.
The devil ain't on a level same as him!

People throw around 'classic' too easily.

I have a question. does "classic" mean compared to the rest of em's work (which is what I was assuming) or compared to other rappers' albums? because if it's the former then that relapse cd is ehhh, but if we're talking about compared to the rest of hip-hop, then I believe all of eminem's records could be considered classics.

They do, but thats not whats being debated. Just a discussion on wether or not it can be considered a cult classic. Which by the definition Aone gave us, is entirely different.
@Aone
yeah definitely,want to keep the discussion about the topic as much as possible.
Its hard to discuss these things objectively, but it seems like Relapse would meet many of the conditions in order to be considered a cult classic. Im not sure enough time has passed to say definitively wether or not it is though." Life can change your directions, even when you ain't planned it

Relapse is the only album he's released post hiatus which is totally cohesive.

Perhaps it's a cult classic. Not really sure of how many ppl actually praise the album though

this might be an "unpopular opinion" but if any jay-z album is a classic then every eminem album is a classic. cult or whatever

I agree.
OP is also very well written.
And, inb4 EmBase cohesion rant.
