It's certainly a great album, but I wouldn't really call it a classic (although I consider "Sing for the Moment", "'Till I Collapse" and "Cleanin' Out My Closet" to be classic songs). It builds off of a lot that the MMLP was already doing, except with a more mainstream sound. It did show that Eminem could produce his own stuff and still make dope music though.
BQ: 10/10.
I love Em. But I don't know if any of his albums are *classics* per say. But everyone has a different definition of classic.. For me, it's something that does NOT get tossed off like nothing.
An album has to really deserve it imo. To me, a classic means an album with not only replay value.. But it'll leave an impact. On you, your style, and Hip Hop as a whole.
Something influential like that, with NO filler tracks that you skip.. Is a classic to me.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
