I'm sorry if I'm covering old ground, but does everybody still think the BE is the classic we were hailing it when it first came out?
IMO, yes it is - but there has been quite a lot of talk lately on other message boards and jus among people in general that a classic is judged by its influence over a length of time and how it changed the game when it dropped. People have also brought up the length of the album as a defining reason why it cannot be considered a classic (which is nonsense to me - Illmatic was only 30-40mins and nobody is disputing that as a classic).
Like I said, sorry if I'm covering old ground, I jus wana kno what OKPlayers think.
