except for when you said "this is more than just a rap record". I get the sentiment that you are getting across with that statement but I just hate when people say that. To couple that with the statement that follows it in your post implies that something has to be MORE than "just a rap record" to go down in the history of "black art", or art in general. From this one could imply that hip hop is some kind of inferior genre, which it isn't. This is a fucking amazing hip hop record, that will probably (I say probably because this shit just came out) go down in the history books.

I probably went a bit too far with my interpretation of what you just said, but thats how I feel generally whenever I see similar statements; no snark intended (seriously)
