>1. Is it a great LP or classic?

a good LP, not great and certainly not classic (XXL retracted their classic rating of it and I've never seen them do that)


>2. Where does it rank among Common LP's

somewhere in the middle I'd say


>3. ...general statement
>

I thought it was just okay then, and my opinion hasn't changed
I wish Ye would've let RJD2 get some spots on there like he was campaigning to do but we all know why that didn't happen
as much as people praise the last song I pretty much find that beat to be just okay, and a perfect example of 3 words making an okay beat great when put in front of it ("produced by J-Dilla")
and that stuttering snare on the turnaround is fucking annoying and takes me out of whatever zone I'm in when I listen to it
