Feb 11, 2022Impact is relevant sure, but it is a slippery slope. We see even in today's time albums might not start getting their recognition/praise until 5-10 years after the fact.

flizzy 999To me it's one of two things
Either the album is impactful and stayed in the conversation for years and significant for music at the time
Or it's a masterpiece quality album that's a classic just for being outstandingly good
pretty much this
- Feb 11, 2022
influence and impact are key, how i feel personally about it is secondary
Feb 11, 2022It’s very very good 😊
Feb 11, 202280%+ of the album is replayable and executed in a way which leaves an impact on me

Like all art it’s totally subjective, but it must have cultural relevancy and evoke passion. At The Louvre, you stand in a crowd and push your way to see the tiny Mona Lisa, while around the corner better Da Vinci paintings sit for you to see at your leisure. But no one cares about La belle ferronnière. It isn’t particularly hated or loved, it just is.

Mona Lisa the most overrated "classic" painting of all time. Ugly af, big ass forehead, Vladimir Putin face ass.

Feb 11, 2022·2 repliesSmacked VoodooDid Operation Doomsday have high sales/chart success?
No but i mean it relative to the artist. Obviously doom is not a mainstream artist.
But it can be used to guage how many people are really listening.
For example Juveniles 400 degreez tanked first week, went on to sell 4x Platinum in just 2 years.
Sales isnt the only factor, but it Is definitley a criteria. But again, in a relative sense (to the artist, to the artists position, to sales during the era etc)

You can do the first thing and not actually be quality. Not a good criteria.

mr get doughBruh if I dont like 2 songs on thriller can i go around saying its not a classic?
I guess not all classics are masterpieces. I don’t think we should say that one is exclusive with the other.

DS2 is not on the same tier of albums bro
I’m not even saying its not a classic but mentioning DS2 as one of the main examples of a classic looks silly
DS2 is absolutely on the same tier as Doggystyle

Always been a thing thats part of impact. If people aint hear it how is it a classic?
There’s more ways to think than something has to sell well in order for it to be validated
