If you can’t read I said it still needs time. That’s the only thing that is keeping it from being a classic. With time you see impact. It has checked every other box. Read

This thread is all u need , no argument needed , and I'm sure some of us saying no are real Kendrick fans

I remember when ppl were saying “fans don’t like TPAB as much as critics therefore it can’t be a classic”. It turns out that it was and DAMN. Is even loved by more fans 😂

No it’s not this is KTT. They think Kanye has 9 classic, drake has 5 lol. There is literally no argument for why it isn’t a classic. TPAB received and still receives the same hate on KTT and it’s a classic.

I don’t care about one single persons review. Critics hated illmatic when it came out lol. Who cares. It’s still a classic.

Exactly! Lol. This is all I’m saying
May 11, 2020Lmaoo whippey so horrendous

Common who is a professional in the field says it’s a classic but let’s listen to Fantano.
May 11, 2020I'm strict with what I call classics so Damn isn't one but it's better than all your favourite rappers albums in the last few years except 4:44

F*** critics, I don't see how the album shifted the culure, the concept didn't hit like his past 2 albums concepts

I just said time will determine impact lol. All classics don’t shift culture and some nkt right away. That’s what makes time a key component in impact and influence . Some just impact sound ima special way. It’s only been 3 years give it some time. It hits on literally every metric possible. Except time based requirements. And you brought up Fantano not me
May 11, 2020
WahiIt’s his Graduation, not my personal favorites but the cultural impact is undeniable
Wouldn’t call graduation a classic either personally

A lot of people still don't consider nothing was the same a classic, and look how much time has passed.
May 11, 2020No

Below the heavens is an underground classic at best. 99% of the general public couldn’t even tell you whose album that is

Because it isn’t a classic
That’s exactly how we determine classics. Once time passes and the influence isn’t there then you make the judgement at time.Also DAMN. Outperformed NWTS in every metric except probably sales. More acclaimed. More hits. Won more awards. Literally every metric is beats NWTS.
