    ? women lie, men lie, numbers dont lie
    10 years later C3 might be certified classic
    you never know
    i'm sure plenty ? thought Illmatic was ? but every album cant be liked by everyone

    Right thats what im sayin.....

    C3 sold a sh*tload of albums out the gate...classic albums don't sell like that, its timeless music so it takes a while to build up sales.

    People today are still buying Illmatic because its a must-have.

    I can guarantee you C3 will not be called a classic album ever.

    dude album sales the 1st week and 1st month dont constitute a classic its just because of the hype thats around them ? 1st week hardly anyone has even heard the album yet

    but yall gotta know that Lil wayne aint put That Carter 3 together. hes on video saying that Universal Records put C3 together. u kno if wayne did it the album woulda sounded more like Carter1,2... the label just wanted to take advantage of all his new popularity and put together the songs they thing could sell on itunes...

    When an album was considered a classic, it stood the test of time. Meaning a person will buy Paid In Full today. Albums that sell fast do not get buys today. Case in point, No Way Out or whatever Puffy's first album is. So, if anyone is saying Puffy's first album is a bigger classic than Paid In Full is saying so because they ate lead chips growing up, saying so for shock value or is a ? . So, we know what one person will say in this thread.

    1. Face dont stand out so i dont see how he classified as a legend of has any classic material
    he doesnt have great lyrics but he can tell a story
    Gucci can do everything face can do, Face just got longevity
    you dudes act like cuz a ? been inthe game since the 90s they get a pass. Face's last few albums werent too great
    2.LAX might have been better than C3 but th Carter, ? plz with that mediocre third album game dropped
    3. 8Ball and MJG aint too lyrical either but they can tell stories...same ? with Face
    4. Aint nobody even checcinm for the other Geto Boys
    5.Carter and Carter 2 are classic. live with it
    6. No one disputed the fact GRODT and Massacre are classics. They ? your numbers logic
    7. Last but not least how did yall manage to get me off topic?

    so basically what it is these ? have more artistic control over their music on mixtapes due to the fact that they are mainstream slaves.

    that is why many of us enjoy most mainstream artists mixtapes over their albums.

    It's a classic Nas album and his first album he dropped. The album is Hip Hop music 101, solid album from beginning to end. classic songs such as ? who say it's overrated just don't know hip hop music or are under the age 18, so they obviously don't know hip hop music. I like how most ? said it was a classic, with so many whack ass posters on the reason I'm glad ? know what it is.
