@@thedon0516same here bro I never heard ANYONE say this. I like the album too, probably my favorite from Cole, but I never heard somebody saying this. Most people call the album boring
These's no way were actually claiming FYEO was as impactful as Monster. Monster defined a whole trap era to come and is definitely worth considering a classic. Also melt my eyes - its a good album but its weaker than Denzel's previous two. Especially in terms of production
Ive tried SO HARD to enjoy that album like everyone else but its SOO overrated IMO, Its still a great album, But there are plenty of tracks in the second half that are kinda stale & basic. I think SIMBI deserves the status that TFS has tbh, Rapping is on par, But it nails its concept better and production is much more lush and epic, I think SIMBI, LP! & Manger On McNichols are the best albums to come out in the 20's decade thus far tbh
another hot take: a classic album doesn't need to reach the masses upon it release to make an impact. As long as the hip hop community is aware and see the vision, it made its impact. Take Madvillainy for example, it didn't reach the masses but the community took in in high regard, and overtime future hip hop fans got caught up, and we're taking in high regard as well.
I agree with this completely, but madvillainy needed time to become discovered and gain momentum enough to be considered a classic. If you were listening to madvillainy right when it dropped and you called it classic, you would be wrong. even though you had good foresight that it eventually would become one lol
MMESYF is a classic imo. I don’t think an album really needs super complex lyrics to hit that mark, there’s beauty and quality in some of the straight forward nature of it imo, but how he tells these stories is beautiful. Also troubles is an incredible song.
@@nbabackcourtmedia I get that, but there's a reason why it's called classic, if not, any great project would be a classic even if it came out yesterday
I feel like it will age as a cult classic. It might never be at the forefront of hip hop classics, but the people who know about it will swear by it for good reason
@@1MinuteVibe I mean I like to give it at least a year most of the time, but nothing crazy. Just generally not a fan of the time restriction preventing someone from saying an album is a classic
Future has 3 classics: ds2, monster, 56 nights easily. U guys are tripping, Monster is 100x more influential than 4YEO ever was it is not about the better album.
Future has one classic and it’s DS2, because a classic is something that is agreed upon by the majority of people, and everyone picks a different album other than DS2.
People do overuse the classic status but cmon be serious. Take care and nothing was the same are easily classics, so is born sinner and fhd. Fhd literally went platinum with no features and I’m not a big future listener but most consider ds2 and monster classics. Don’t be a kdot Stan bruh lol.
Astroworld is the last classic album because Igor came out in May of 2019 so technically it does not pass the 5 year rule. But in one month it will be. And in December PEMFBAS will become a classic as well. (I follow the five year rule religiously)
They got me on that Yuno Miles take. I actually went to look for his music, excited by the thought of discovering something fresh and fire. OMG was i in for a surprise 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly. I don’t know how this was even an argument. Monster dropped when Future was still on his come up and that tape basically cemented where Future would go from there. It’s easily one of the most important projects for the emerging late-trap sound that would become the most prominent sound in hip hop for the next like half a decade at least if not further. 4YEO came after Cole had already released FHD, and that was widely considered as “his classic”, not to mention 4YEO has “Folding Clothes” on it which consistently gets dunked on for being boring. Until this video, I’ve never heard anyone say that 4YEO is a classic. Tl;dr: Monster - yes, 4YEO - no
You two should listen to Nate off of the search. One of the best song concepts I’ve ever heard and NF does such a great job making the listener feel like his younger self. I’d definitely call Nate a perfect song and honestly one of the best songs I’ve ever heard
2:09 I’ve never heard a single soul say that 4YEO is one of the best concept/storytelling hip hop albums. I also don’t see the “impact” it had on music. And that’s Cole’s best album imo
13:50 did Ant refer to What a Time to Be Alive as a classic, after not mentioning it for either Future or Drake in the earlier discussion? (00:40) I feel like this is an example of the term being thrown around too easily!
In my opinion J Cole only has one classic. Friday Night Lights in handicapped by not being on streaming, it’s gone unheard by even a good amount of Cole fans. I also don’t consider 4yeo a classic album. I think it’s good but its not up there with a pablo and 4:44. I think it’s better for its concept than it’s actual music. If 4yeo is a classic then so is Mr Morale. Also Future has multiple classics. Ds2 and Monster are trap albums. HNDRXX and Future are part of his legendary 2017 run and definitely classics to most future fans.
i mean most people have thought this long before fantano said it, maybe if you guys stop saying its one of the best rap albums ever (or even of the 2000's for that matter) and comparing it to illmatic, 36 chambers, madvillainy etc... and just see it for the good but not great album it is then we wouldn't have to call it overrated.
@@PasteurizedLettuce its not about better but about what had the bigger impact and influence on the culture. For eg, ds2 isnt a perfect albums by any means to me but its a classic cuz of how it changed the trap scene forever. masterpieces and perfect albums dont have to be classics(simbi) whereas mediocre projects can be considered classics(whole lotta red)
@@PasteurizedLettuce I enjoyed wlr but personally it pales in comparison to die lit and self titled. whatever the case is, wlr is definitely his most classic work, it has changed the game way too much if you look at the rage rap scene
If you count the skits, then I agree about 2001. F* you is mid, bar one, light speed, pause 4 porno are skips. If it’s your favorite rap album ever, then of course you would disagree. Plus, the lyrics on most of the album are pretty rough
A classic is when even those who aren’t a huge fan of the artist unanimously call it a classic. Future has DS2, cole has fhd, drake has thank me later. Thats it for those guys. Kendrick only has gkmc and tpab, so he still wins but i dont think the dust has even settled on damn yet. yall giving out classics too easy to me but hey thats me lol
Not every very good to amazing album is a classic. Look back at the other decades, there’s a reason there’s not dozens of CLASSICS to go back to over the years, only a handful. A lot of really great albums fade over time even after great immediate impact or impact over a span of a few years
I agree with the last take. Get rich or die trying is extremely overrated. Stop the cap. Its a good album and nothing more. I love 50 cent and have listened to this album multiple times over the years but its not mind-blowing or genre defining. Its a standard gangsta rap album. There were so many better gangsta rap albums from that time. For me a classic has to be at minimum a 9/10 and GRODT is only an 8/10 at best.
If you’re a future fan, yes, but I mean, would anyone like me calling DONDA a classic just because I like Kanye? Gotta look at the quality, and future never matched DS2 elsewhere
Bruh imo at least 2-3 years gotta go by for you to even consider an album classic and it can’t have more than 2 skips(illmatic, gkmc, fhd, graduation, etc). I feel like a lot of people in these comments got loose ass standards for a classic album. Clb has more than 3 skips, that automatically disqualifies it for a classic album imo. Ima drake and j cole fan but to say clb is classic and you don’t even mention the off season is pretty wild. If clb is somehow a classic the off season easily is.
@@SweaterSwagg bruh… tpab is a classic and a masterpiece. Sure there a lil different… but an album doesn’t have to be a pure masterpiece to be a classic. What’s your point of saying this? It seems like you tryna nitpick lol.
Because Monster was way, way more important to the emerging hip hop sound at the time than any Cole album has ever been. The Cole albums were great, don’t get me wrong, but they weren’t anywhere near as important for hip hop as a whole as Monster was. Future basically ushered in the neo-trap sound of the mid-2010s with Monster, 56 Nights, and DS2.
because substance and depth doesnt always equal great and shallowness or whats percieved as just "fun" doesnt always equal bad. thats something you and alot of j cole fans are yet to get because i can tell you think 4 your eyes only is so much better then monster because its so much deeper when future isnt trying to attempt depth whatsoever, monster is the more consistent project imo and it had a bigger impact on hip hop then 4 your eyes only did.
I understand what y'all trying to say, But I think there are albums that are 100% classics for the lanes they're in that aren't unanimously celebrated in terms of popularity. XXX & Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown or Pinata & Bandana by Freddie Gibbs for example I'd absolutely consider classics, Even if they aren't as widely known by the masses. I think there are several instances of this honestly, 1999 by Joey Badass is an underground classic, IMO the greatest mixtape of all time but the majority of people haven't heard of it. Veteran by JPEGMAFIA is an experimental classic, Probably the most unique, Off the wall album I've heard and the majority of people haven't heard of it. Also, I know people love to clown on Logic but projects like Undeniable, WTF or Under Pressure I honestly believe people would be more willing to consider a classic if his career didn't go in the direction it did, People forget just how highly regarded Logic was at one point before he dropped 1800 and slowly became the internets punching bag, Now people are even too afraid to give Logic any praise whatsoever cause they know they'll likely get made fun of, But his YS/UP days were legit.
Way 2 sexy is not the best song on clb💀some times yall be yapping bro. Clb is vintage drake im still banging girls want girls, you got the jay z and drake rapping at each other, you got tsu, top 3 drake intro, way 2 sexy, knife talk would’ve been a top song on the 21 album Travis verse is crazy, you have a Wayne collab(tbh I wish it was a better one) but still, imy2 is my favorite song, the out tro gives the 9am vibes, its number 4 album for me.
They don’t want to give The Boy his credit cause they huge kdot Stans and this channel full of them but Drake has atleast 5 minimum and I’m being nice. So Far Gone TAKE CARE NWTS IYRTITL Views All certified classics Thank me later. WATTBA, and Scorpion
underground classics like a piece of strange by cunninlynguists, the cold vein by cannibal ox, stress: the extinction agenda by organized konfusion, below the heavens by blu and exile, and more are miles beyond albums like get rich or die trying, tha carter iii, the eminem show, etc.
I feel like that's almost a given; to have a massive album on that mainstream level you pretty much have to compromise SOME of your artistic vision, whereas, if you're more underground there are less of those pressures. The advantage mainstream artists have is that they will be able to make a bigger impact, making it feel more classic as it's almost a defining moment that everyone can remember
Sure get rich or die trying but the Carter iii is pretty good. And Kendrick and Kanye have proven truly brilliant hip hop can be done with enormous mass appeal in the modern era (rip to kanye making good music though)
Because it’s not. Is it a good Cole album? Absolutely? Is it “one of the greatest concept albums the hip hop community has ever seen”? No, no it’s not.
@@loganleatherman7647 its definitely one of the greatest concept albums in THIS generation. atleast for 2010's decades, so it should be considered a classic
I don’t understand how it’s not. It takes the zaniness of previous Eminem albums that leaned hard into the whole Slim Shady persona and cranked it up to 100 then ripped off the knob. In terms of the wackiness + depravity of Slim Shady, it’s the quintessential Eminem album.
He said himself on recovery. “Let’s be honest that last relapse CD was eh, perhaps I ran them accents into the ground”. There’s some solid songs in there but a lot of it was corny, saying this as a Stan. Its definitely an Eminem classic, but not a hip-hop classic.
No friends in the industry/ papi’s home/Girls want girls/ champagne poetry/ fair trade…. And this guy thinks way 2 sexy carried the whole album…. And the album was shit lol then what Mr moral was? legendary lol
Troubles by Denzel is such a bop. Insane T-Pain performance and perfect Kenny Beats production. And zel delivers as much as he always does. Bad, bad take.
My reaction to each take: At the end of their careers, Future will have more classic albums than Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole: Strongly Disagree CLB is a classic and the cover is amazing: Strongly Disagree. And I’m a Drake stan, so come on bro… One of the worst covers I’ve ever seen, and the album itself was a massive disappointment. Tha Carter III is a classic but has more skips than people want to admit: Agree Melt My Eyez See Your Future will be a classic: Agree Yuno’s album is the only classic in the last 10 years: Strongly Disagree The last classic was TPAB: Disagree. 4 Your Eyez Only is a definite classic after TPAB, and imo so is Views, and maybe even TLOP, More Life, or Scorpion. An album doesn’t have to be perfect to be a 10/10 or a classic: Strongly Agree. I define a 10/10 as something that makes me feel as good as music can possibly make me feel while listening to it, NOT based on flawlessness. 2001 has several skips: Disagree The Search by NF is a classic: Disagree Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is a solid album, nothing more: Agree
Quit sleeping on Cole you goofies. Cole is not even close to my favourite but without Cole we don't get Baby Keem, Cordae or JID. or Even Kendrick for that matter. Keem and JID are arguably the next Kendrick and Cole. 4 your eyez only is better than any Drizzy album and better than Damn. Not to mention 2014. Look back on the early 2010's, J cole paved rap into what we have now. Listen to Sideline Story and tell me it doesn't sound like your favourite new artist.

I think there are several instances of this honestly, 1999 by Joey Badass is an underground classic, IMO the greatest mixtape of all time but the majority of people haven't heard of it. Veteran by JPEGMAFIA is an experimental classic, Probably the most unique, Off the wall album I've heard and the majority of people haven't heard of it. Also, I know people love to clown on Logic but projects like Undeniable, WTF or Under Pressure I honestly believe people would be more willing to consider a classic if his career didn't go in the direction it did, People forget just how highly regarded Logic was at one point before he dropped 1800 and slowly became the internets punching bag, Now people are even too afraid to give Logic any praise whatsoever cause they know they'll likely get made fun of, But his YS/UP days were legit.
Thank you. This should be printed out and framed in the NFR studio
Collab with Hivemind again soon please it was amazing last time 🟦🟧🟩🟨
@cdanielzs is wilding with his take. Like come on bro, it's not even close to being a classic
Forever story is a classic
Way 2 sexy is not the best song on clb💀some times yall be yapping bro. Clb is vintage drake im still banging girls want girls, you got the jay z and drake rapping at each other, you got tsu, top 3 drake intro, way 2 sexy, knife talk would’ve been a top song on the 21 album Travis verse is crazy, you have a Wayne collab(tbh I wish it was a better one) but still, imy2 is my favorite song, the out tro gives the 9am vibes, its number 4 album for me.
My favorite song on CLB is Pipe Down
House of Balloons; The Weeknd
AAnd THEE Crown Jewel;
Bone Thugz n Harmony, 1999
“Wake up wake up wake up, it’s the first of the month “
Turnt this shit off as soon as i heard the carter 3 take..😭💀
SECTION 80 IS FORERVER UNDERRATED
Mr morale a classic, and kendricks best album
sftsaftm will 110% be a classic, and faith
MONSTER ISNT A CLASSIC????? TRIPPING

So Far Gone was also a Drake classic.
They don’t want to give The Boy his credit cause they huge kdot Stans and this channel full of them but Drake has atleast 5 minimum and I’m being nice.

underground classics like a piece of strange by cunninlynguists, the cold vein by cannibal ox, stress: the extinction agenda by organized konfusion, below the heavens by blu and exile, and more are miles beyond albums like get rich or die trying, tha carter iii, the eminem show, etc.
I feel like that's almost a given; to have a massive album on that mainstream level you pretty much have to compromise SOME of your artistic vision, whereas, if you're more underground there are less of those pressures. The advantage mainstream artists have is that they will be able to make a bigger impact, making it feel more classic as it's almost a defining moment that everyone can remember
for sure but i definitely respect those art first smaller artist more than the drakes and lil babys yk?
piece of strange and below the heavens holy W
Sure get rich or die trying but the Carter iii is pretty good. And Kendrick and Kanye have proven truly brilliant hip hop can be done with enormous mass appeal in the modern era (rip to kanye making good music though)
Certified lover boy classic????
We dont trust you is an easy future classic and imo monster, ds2, 56 nights, future and high off life are all classics
Swap out WIZRD for High Off Life and I would agree with you
FYEO is definitely not a classic lol
Always feels like I’m chillin with my nerdy friends who are actually the coolest. Also, I suspect tism.
4 your eyes only is divisive not loved lol
Bro I fw troubles hard L take 9:29
no way lu didn't consider 4yeo as a classic
Because it’s not. Is it a good Cole album? Absolutely? Is it “one of the greatest concept albums the hip hop community has ever seen”? No, no it’s not.
@@loganleatherman7647 its definitely one of the greatest concept albums in THIS generation. atleast for 2010's decades, so it should be considered a classic
Relapse deserves to be a classic
I don’t understand how it’s not. It takes the zaniness of previous Eminem albums that leaned hard into the whole Slim Shady persona and cranked it up to 100 then ripped off the knob. In terms of the wackiness + depravity of Slim Shady, it’s the quintessential Eminem album.
He said himself on recovery. “Let’s be honest that last relapse CD was eh, perhaps I ran them accents into the ground”. There’s some solid songs in there but a lot of it was corny, saying this as a Stan. Its definitely an Eminem classic, but not a hip-hop classic.
3:04 I loved the analogy
Views as a classic is a horrible take in itself
The Forever Story is 100% gonna be a classic
2:55 lost it at that moment 😂❓
Melt my eyez is a 10/10
4 Your Eyez Only has the song everyone calls Cole sleepy for, Folding Clothes (which I like btw)
Folding Clothes is amazing and anyone who tells you otherwise is cringe
Fair Trade being the biggest hit / best song is a terrible example 😂
No friends in the industry/ papi’s home/Girls want girls/ champagne poetry/ fair trade…. And this guy thinks way 2 sexy carried the whole album…. And the album was shit lol then what Mr moral was? legendary lol
Troubles by Denzel is such a bop. Insane T-Pain performance and perfect Kenny Beats production. And zel delivers as much as he always does. Bad, bad take.
nah fr and they said it doesn't fit the tracklist... both thematically and sonically it fits in perfectly
I think GRODT is ok at best.
15:45 no way he told him to Dre & drive😂😂
My reaction to each take:
At the end of their careers, Future will have more classic albums than Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole: Strongly Disagree
CLB is a classic and the cover is amazing: Strongly Disagree. And I’m a Drake stan, so come on bro… One of the worst covers I’ve ever seen, and the album itself was a massive disappointment.
Tha Carter III is a classic but has more skips than people want to admit: Agree
Melt My Eyez See Your Future will be a classic: Agree
Yuno’s album is the only classic in the last 10 years: Strongly Disagree
The last classic was TPAB: Disagree. 4 Your Eyez Only is a definite classic after TPAB, and imo so is Views, and maybe even TLOP, More Life, or Scorpion.
An album doesn’t have to be perfect to be a 10/10 or a classic: Strongly Agree. I define a 10/10 as something that makes me feel as good as music can possibly make me feel while listening to it, NOT based on flawlessness.
2001 has several skips: Disagree
The Search by NF is a classic: Disagree
Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is a solid album, nothing more: Agree
Quit sleeping on Cole you goofies. Cole is not even close to my favourite but without Cole we don't get Baby Keem, Cordae or JID. or Even Kendrick for that matter. Keem and JID are arguably the next Kendrick and Cole. 4 your eyez only is better than any Drizzy album and better than Damn. Not to mention 2014. Look back on the early 2010's, J cole paved rap into what we have now. Listen to Sideline Story and tell me it doesn't sound like your favourite new artist.
Bro Way 2 Sexy did not carry the album So many gems like N2Deep, Get Along Better, Fair Trade, Race My Mind, Love All, Champagne Poetry, TSU, F'in fans
Drake has 2 classics
Kenny has 3
Cole has 2
Future has 1
