Allow me to repeat myself and hopefully a Lupe dick ri fan can answer me this time because I'm still baffled:
Anybody can be a fool and say this, that and whatever is a classic 'because I say so' but that's not really how it works.
If The Cool is an amazing masterwork which, as a classic, should be revered for the rest of time, WHY IS THIS?
For what it's worth this is what I posted about The Cool recently:

i admittedly have a hard time with "classics" discussion, cause there's albums id give 5 mics personally but prolly woudln't put in that set. there's also shit you can kinda tell won't age well, so it might be best to give a few years and return to.
then again, it's the same kinda thing i get with reviews on the gaming side: i don't really need perfection. i think a piece is the sum of its parts, so while there are good albums i can bump every track from, there's great ones i gotta skip a couple on. the latter is gonna stay with me longer.
meant to say, i wish i could hear this too.

I think there are two different versions of a "classic" album.
The first is the version that is meant for the albums that are must listen to, universally acclaimed/praised and/or albums that changed the game. (Your ATLiens, E.1999 Eternal, Illmatic, 36 Chambers go here.)
The only difference for the second version is the lack of being universally acclaimed/praised. An album might be 5 mics to someone and at the same time be 3 mics to someone else.
For me The Cool is a 5 mic album and should be considered a classic, because it IS an amazing album, but I know it won't.

oh shit, man down! ace, you cold as ice man.
like a angry, crippled man, don't push me
oh for sure, like how i say we try to establish a top 10 MC's but everyone's got their own votes that many wouldn't agree with.
like, everything about Blackout! screams classic to me - its gotta be past 10 years old, but still bumps for parties, gym shit etc like it's brand new for me.
i think we asked this, but - what 2011 albums do ya'll think are/will be considered classics?

Nothing. I don't call albums classic as easily as certain people here do!

Nothing from this year so far will be thought of as being a classic.
I think the trouble is people have difficulty discerning between an album which is a classic and an album which they love. The two almost have to be mutually exclusive to a certain point, otherwise there would be classics dropping every single year which is certainly not the case.
There are albums I love and have listened to literally 100+ times, but they don't automatically classify as classics because I say so, they are simply albums I love.
I believe a classic to be, at its base level, something which innovates, influences and inspires change. Something which pushes the boundaries of its genre or attains an extremely high level of artistry.
Everything else are simply good or perhaps near great albums but the likelihood is they will not hold-up over time.
Straight Outta Compton is almost 25 years old and still sounds amazing.
Will The Cool when it's 25 years old? Will anything that dropped last year?
Maybe I sound pessimistic but I'm extremely doubtful they will.
In our age, unfortunately, classics are thin on the ground and the reasoning that 'an album I don't skip a track on is a classic' is laughable.

Thanks for posting this. These mixes are nice!
Maybe. I think it will depend on what Kendrick does next.
The last classic album made was My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I know a lot of people hate it, but I don't doubt it will be considered a benchmark in 10 years.
Pretty good listen
Everyone my age rocked cassettes. And fuck off with that bullshit age nonsense. Fucking pathetic dropping that.
i'm almost 22 and never fucked with a tapedeck in my life, not one, but even i know some serious butane lighters and glass pipes is goin down itt
I was debating trying my hand at this, and thought in the meantime I'd see if I had any beats laying around that fit. After running through a few dozen I thought this one clicked really well. It's not perfect but I thought it turned out way better than I expected.

You have absolutely horrendous taste so anything you say should be prefaced with "I am a Lil B stan" before it. Shit isnt even music.

probably eating tapioca pudding
I think he is involved in the music industry behind the scenes doing some consulting or some shit. There was an interview can't remember where but he basically said he if he could go back in time he wouldn't have even done the stuff with Rakim and wished he was just a music exec working behind the scenes. Personally with him being away for so long and some of his comments I don't think he was ever into making beats or records, I just don't know how you could stay away from it for so long. I wouldn't be surprised if Marley Marl did a lot of the Eric B and Rakim stuff.

It's amazing how many classic records in different genres this man produced. Don't be fooled by the countdown gimmick, this is a really well written article.

Even this album is pretty overrated. When it first came out I thought it was fucking dope. And as usual on blogs n shit when an albums only been out for 1 day ppl already call it a classic. A classic is only an album which stands the test of time. And looking back on section.80 the stupid stuff k.dot does with his voice kinda annoys me.
and those looking for that Wu Tang snapback, its done by a clothing company called RockSmith. They did a collab with Wu Tang. Some really dope tees and stuff but pretty hard to find now. Just google rocksmith wu tang and see what you can find. Some stuff here:

I don't think this week has been too bad. It did give us new Rittz, K.R.I.T. Gunplay and G Mane after all. hiphopdx has an upcoming albums list thing here. Action Bronson & Party Supplies are dropping a tape tomorrow and also that DX list doesn't mention it but E-40 is dropping 3 albums called Block Brochure on the 26th of March I think.
