Redman - Muddy Waters, should it have classic status?

Question

This is one of my favorite rap albums, anyone agree.

Answer 1

Classic status is usually for works that have stood the test of time. Considering that "Muddy Waters" is ten years old and in a genre that prizes innovation over catalog, if it still holds up that is a good sign that it could be a classic. Of course, looking for an objective judgement of a work of creativity is never easy. I prefer the old Roman saying: De gustibus non disputandum est (There's no disputing taste) or in other words, if you like it, it's good (to you)!
