Classic status doesnt involve personal feelings & also

you gotta wonder if @thegreatdivine actually listens to the music or if they just look at the chart positions of every song before talking about the music.

Doggystyle is undercertified too.

It actually sold more than 7 million records.

Like S80?

No.

Sxn 80 is an album just not on a major, hence why its not counted as a studio release "officially". Hes not the only one that has that, such as 50 Cent. Still an album tho, just isnt considered a "true" debut since it was independent. Which just has to do with label legal jargon & industry technicalities.

Nothing funky about it nor is it trying to bend literal music definitions or make one up depending on the day.

Some people call it a mixtape (either mistakenly or on purpose) but those people dont know what theyre talking about & it was never called a mixtape officially either.

Snoop became the first megastar in Rap due to that album too iirc.

Before that you only had superstars such as LL Cool J.

It also influenced tons of rappers along with being a pop culture icon. Its classic status is literally undeniable even outside the numbers.

Same here bro
