Fuck you guys.
MOTM2 is great.
I dare say it's better than the first one.

Ok after further review there's no way MOTM is a classic.
If it were to have come out this year it may not even be in my top 10.
I can't call that a classic unless you want to say there are a dozen or so "classic"s a year.

I wouldn't go far as to say that it's a classic (damn that word gets around), but it's amongst my favorite albums of all time.

I think that your position should be taken up by the rest of the cudi stans.
I have albums I personally love but would never label classic, same with films and books.

It has its strengths and weaknesses.
It's just people have different ways of labeling what a classic is and what a classic isn't.
Speaking of MOTM1, the only song that I found grating was Enter Galactic. Granted, I love the transition from Enter Galactic to Alive (the beat change and the Common voice over was done well), but the song as a whole was never a favorite of mine.

This I agree with.
But I don't think there are many albums that can be considered classics today.
The internet wouldn't allow it. Besides Music is just too broad to have something that everyone likes. To many different tastes. This is why I hate when someone here says that something is trash. Because someone likes it and there's nothing wrong with that...it's just that personally you don't like it.
It's like some people on the internet believes that their taste is the end all be all and that any one who disagrees with them is an idiot.
That's why I don't post on Gamefaqs anymore.
/rant.
For real; the last great classic was MBDTF imho
Exactly. Especially after seeing his interview with Nardwuar. Something about that made me like him a lot more.
Yeah, I guess I blur the lines a lot too. A classic should be something nearly everyone can agree is great, and those that don't like it can at least appreciate it.

If MOTM came out this year, it would still probably be my #1...

Here comes Kanye cycle. Be back later.
I really think you shd give that album another chance; its way more personal and introspective than you think it is. Its kanye evolving into the artist he is, and putting his growing pains into an album. And the production is amazing.

It's pretty bad.. start to finish.. WTT would be closer to "classic" than that.. if you like it cool, but I doubt you'd find many who would agree that it is a classic
But..but it was the aoty last year?? I did love WTT tho.
Fucking saved. Props.Was bored and wanted to procrastinate homework more, so I just whipped this up, per Enzo's request.

Lol.
Damn, this thread moved fast tho, I just went out to eat and it jumped like 4 pages.
I've been listening to that VLNS NVR DIE, shit is pretty damn good. Dude is versatile with his flow for sure. I had that james bond tape, but I never got to it for some reason. I guess I just forgot about it, but yeah everyone to check it out tho.
That Juicy J tape is hot too, played that shit in the car. I've been fiendin for some music like that lately, so it's good to me and I didn't even now Taylor Gang was an actual label? I thought it was just something Wiz Khalifa said his fans were.
Going to peep out that Wax in a bit.

See, no one's going to ever agree what a "classic" truly is.
Sure, debate's good to learn from different perspectives, but talking about classics will always result in disagreement somehow.

Siddx and I were on the WTF is this shit train from the start.. others just joined in when it was in fashion...
Half the internet anointed it as a classic when it was released.

I don't know.. even if I don't like the 36 chambers as much as many I would never say the album isn't a classic.... I don't have to like a style of an album to see it as a classic in the art..
Didn't we agree that Pitchfork is horrible with hip-hop music?

Not I.. so half the net was swinging from the nuts and now that Ye went back to make banging joints they see that his last album was over produced trash....

why 3 pages? oh, cudi-talk...you know, i never did hear MOTM, might try it out tonight.
also: few pages back someone posted Handsome Boy Modeling School, did they do anything past So how's your girl?, cause i dug that one.
not yet, but he's about the only one trying it on that level. it's gonna take a few more albums in my mind, and at least one of them better be on dropout tier.
...yeah, you lost me here.
+1 to all that.

They have an album entitled White People, but I never tried it out. The tracklist looks godly, I should try it sometime.
And that's it from the two before their split-up.

I'm going to end this whole debate as to what's a classic or whatnot right now,
With the mothafuckin Birdman. Anybody else listening? lol. Shit's kinda hype, I'm not gonna lie.
His best album by far
Which is why it's best to let the title be earned through the test of time. Let some shit get old first, then see if it still pulls your heart strings.
See me in 10 years on MBDTF.
Yeah, I just came across this one while searching for info on his new one. I hadn't even heard it was getting pushed back.

Yeah.....I don't call anything a classic unless it's been out for about 5 years or so honestly. It's just a rule I go by, because I might not be feeling an album at all as time passes.
Yeah, I dig this. I'm going to have to finally listen to that, The World is not Enough, tape. Heard like 3 songs and it sounds smooth as hell.
Listen to that, but also Diamonds and Guns (crooklyn is on diamonds and guns if i recall correctly)

No one could deny the bugatti of classics
Alright, going to pick that up too
Haha, Ye gets enough play. The Birdman hype train on the other hand, needs some steam.
HMMM??
Hopefully it isn't too pricey, and hopefully I can get a job this month. Because I have a feeling the energy when Bangarang plays will kill people. 13 dollars?!?! Well shit.. Hopefully they are still there after a few weeks.
Definitely. That album was critically acclaimed overall though. I still think it's close to LR.
Kanye is going to win another Grammy. AOTY!

agreed, 5 year revisiting minimum sounds fair to me. it really hurts when shit dates poorly, i think the easy example around here is when old em would go after boybands and pop stars from the early 2000s or so - fucks things up for me a bit when hearing it now, might just be me though.

Honestly, I've never really hated listening to birdman rap or anything, I just feel like he's just there
But him and mannie fresh had them catchy as fuck songs when they were Big Tymers, I used to like their songs quite a bit lol.
