Really? Then I really hope that the rest of the songs are mindblowing because HAM was asscheeks ontop of asscheeks.cdyhybrid said:

Yes it does. There is a countdown clock.Digishine said:
I got a question. 'Pre-ordered' the deluxe edition on iTunes when they were running the download Otis track now promotion. A day or two later I get an e-mail for the receipt to Otis which was like a dollar and some change. Did I fuck up and only buy the Otis track or is this how it appeared for other people too that preordered then? Is there a way to check to see if I preordered it through iTunes or something? Not too mad if I fucked up, just want to make sure if I did or not before tonight.

The internet will never allow anything to be considered a classic anymore.
Some people just like to hate to be different.
If Illmatic came out today...there will be a bunch of haters calling it trash.

That guy Nas is so stupid, he didn't say "swag" over and over again in his tracks and the production is ass. Where was Lex Luger? Illmatic is not a banger.Knux-Future said:

name the last universally named classic album.
The internet is full of people who love to be contrarian just to be different.
I agree that classics are defined way to early. Go into an Em trhead here and day 1 peopel are all like EM IS BAAAACK AAWWW YEAAAAAh...then a few days later..it's like ...this album sucks. No in between. It's early hype and then cosmic fall.
But still no one is able to agree to a classic album. It's all opinion anyway. As long as the album doesn't blow ass chunks( like H.A.M does) then I'm fine...i don't need perfection all the time

That's not true. I think the time for something to really be considered a classic is around the 10 year mark. I mean even just looking at the same artist Recon brought up, Kanye, College Dropout is already considered a classic(it's at the 7 year mark now, released in 2004). It came out right when the internet itself was hitting it's stride and people were really using it like we use it today, but en-mass. Now some did consider it a classic in the sense that it'll be remembered for defining that year and a better part of the generation (and decade as we come to later see), but I don't think anyone would have considered it a classic in the old usage. I think the same could be said for MBDTF, that while it's a classic of last year and probably the best album of last year, in the original sense of "classic" it hasn't reached that status yet because we haven't seen what it's influenced down the road and how it's sound will shape the future.

is this really the album art?

Dropout to me was a classic.... I am talking about how everyone super dissects everything nowadays... Certain music sort of defines it's time and yea Dropout was the last to do it for me.
No one is going outside the box to make music and until that happens we will never see another classic. In my opinion

Not gonna lie, the inside of the box-art is looking pretty fugly. So is the disc art.DUN GOOFD said:
And yeah I'd have to agree, TCD is the last "classic" I can think of.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the outside packaging is looking very nice, unlike those blurry and possibly fake pictures we saw before. Wonder if it is indeed metal.

people have been doing that for decades, just like every other entertainment media there have been dorks, dweebs and nerds who spent hours and days talking about the last issue of Xmen not being as good as it was 2 years ago or the golden age, or hip hop heads crowding in a basement spinning the latest Naughty By Nature tape talking about how this or that beat was so perfectly constructed and how their rhymes flow like water.
This shit has been around forever, it's just now we made ourselves little virtual communities where these discussion go on, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and we have access to them any time we want. Just adjust accordingly I guess. It's going to be like this forever.

808's is going to be Kanye's "underground" classic. Much like one of Woody Allen's films that isn't called Annie Hall or Manhattan, people will go back to it decades from now and go "this is where that sound came from".
No doubt 808s is unique, but a classic must stand the test of time, and is universally acclaimed, no? 808s is a controversial one, even though I support it fully, I don't think it'll be looked on uniformly in the future.Tokubetsu said:
I would say Graduation had a ton of influence especially, alongside TCD. You can hear and see the influence Graduation had on more than half of all the upcoming rappers out there. From their image, to the production to their rapping styles even.
