I think it's a classic (and it's often mentioned as a classic album)
The album is great, and it doesn't need to be a 10/10 album to be a classic imo.
We still talk about this album and 50 influenced a lot of rappers back in the days, Even Eminem had a gangsta period and I blame 50 cent for that tbh
great album + impact/influence + he captured a moment in history so yeah, I personally think that this album has the classic status
I might be wrong but the impact / influence on the culture is really important so when you influence rappers, your album is often labelled as a classic album.
That's exactly why GKMC was often labelled as an instant classic, a lot of artists already said that they wanted to release the next GKMC ( and some of them want to release the "bad kid in a maad city" )
I knew grodt would be a classic a few months after its release, it didn't take 50 a long time to capture a moment in time but it will never be as much of a game changer as The Chronic or Illmatic

I agree 100%
bigray wrote: Same here, you never know what to expect from Eminem and to me I always liked all his albums even the mediocre Encore I still enjoy many songs on it. Ya I think he will do bigger numbers, Drake's popularity is just getting bigger. He should leave Young Money though imo his fan base is big enough to keep buying his music.
yeah, pretty sure that drake can go wherever he wants because he is really big but I think he has great deal with YM
