That's why for music to be defined as "Classic" it has to stand the test of time and still be fresh or influential years & years later.
For example..

After initially being released Dark Fantasy was being classified as a modern day instant classic & after almost a decade to digest it & let it breath it's clear it's not only some of Ye's best work but a defining album of 2010's for not only Hip-Hop but music in general PERIOD

21 savage kinda like frank has dropped 3 amazing albums (Savage Mode, Issa, IA>IW) in the past 5 years and is still discussed like crazy. Throw in the best trap collab album of all time (Without Warning) and his discography is truly unbeatable

People making threads for Savage Mode 2 like its WLR, despite not hearing any music in 2 years he's still generally liked in the rap community & people want to hear more from him

Also he renegaded astroworld
