Phonte Coleman Consecutive Classics?

The term classic is really overused by rap fans today

While I admit that Big Pooh has improved a lot, he wasn't a good enough rapper at the time

The Minstrel Show definitely wasn't.

I probably like the first Foreign Exchange better than the Little Brother albums, haven't listened to them in years though.

I agree but in this situation i don't think is. The Listening dropped in 2003 which is whole decade ago Connected in 2004 The Minstrel Show 2005. I think that's long ago enough to deem whether it's a classic or not. I was just asking btw
 
The Minstrel Show is very close to classic but missed the mark with a few songs. I think "Charity Starts At Home" was a great project but not classic either and on the same level as TMS.
 
How is "The Minstrel Show" NOT a classic.....How?! Smh...U guys cease to amaze me. The album doesn't have 1 bad song on it.
 
Minstrel Show was classic.

Only non-classic Tigallo hasn't dropped MAY have been Getback. And I haven't listened to it in a while to be able to determine so.
 
Minstrel Show was classic. Let it play straight through. 9th Pooh and T****llo were in rare form. Not a classic...this guy.

Only on the internet is it a classic.

Paid In Full, Midnight Marauders, Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt....Minstrel Show

Yep...sure

Not a big fan of Phonte singing but I agree LBs first two albums were classics.

Foreign Exchanges projects are all great, but wouldnt define much in the soul genre to call them classics.

Wish Darien Brockington was apart of the group. Dude is talented, shame he never blew up.

All 3 are dope albums but I don't consider any of them classic

My point, liking a album a lot doesn't make an album a classic. None of these albums is considered a classic universally.

Dudes throw around that term too loosely in the 21st century. It's a term that's earned, not given.

I think it's because a lot of you grow up in an age when you don't see many good albums, much less classic so you don't know how to react to them.

I hate this generational elitism :x :smh:
Even from my own generation, how we forget the garbage and glorify the timeless.
