Damn I thought your fav was Born to Die or DS2

no skippable tracks is a big one

you know damn well i'm not being serious lol

Did you like The Off-Season?

If the majority thinks it’s a classic then it’s a classic.

If i can remember multiple tracks from it as being iconic

Doesnt matter if theres a few fillers or weak tracks if the majority of it is fire

wayyyyyyy more than i thought i would. first cole album i've had in constant rotation in YEARS. you?

Liked it a lot more than KOD, and I rank it above FHD as well.

i ain't mad at ya. i rank it above everything, with the exception of friday night lights

Longevity, reminiscent of its time period, acclaim, and memorable songs.

Quality

Needs to met all 3 criterias or at least have strong points in 2 of them

If DJ Akademiks says it's trash.

You just know

If Travis Scott made it

Replay-ability. I finish it and have to stop myself from playing it again.

Variety. I don't want to hear the same flow on each song.

Lyricism. From Lupe's The Cool to Thug's Barter 6 (Both classics to me) there has to be something that catches the ear whether it's story telling, bars, or using your voice in a new way.

Referencing. Eminem talking about Sonny Bono and Christopher Reeves in his old albums cut them from being classics to me. If the references are toward other celebrities and dated as bad as those I don't see them as classics.

boy that S*** is wack as hell

Cohesiveness
Strong and non-repetitive content
High level vocal performance / delivery
Hit singles

Probably the impact the first listen had on me and then the replayability. If it does well on those two then it’s pretty much a classic to me
