U are aware that Jay Z has about 6 or 7 albums that sold more than RD. And it took that album 7 years to go platinum and that only happened with a repressing.
Every now and then someone says Madvillainy was a classic. That album had no impact.

Miles D has approximately 50 albums of which 2 went platinum over several decades. Post Malone just went triple in a year
.Point is that even if a smaller group of people, fukks with your shyt. It can still be a classic like Illmatic was classic when it came out, but it took years for it to move units. Core hiphop heads still knew. It’s the fact that everyone that has listened, including the actual hiphop heads and tastemakers, fukk with it that makes it what it is. Like Post Malone has a million fans that thinks his shyt is John Blaze but there’s also a million people, including the heads and makers, that thinks that he’s mediocre. Which removes the chances of his shyt being labeled a classic.
had a massive impact on underground hip hop. fukk your sales numbers

Your post doesn't make any sense as well. You like Madlib. But other than Fancy Clown's sample, you don't enjoy anything from those two?
Are you saying you don't even like most of the beats on Madvillainy?

Madvillainy is a god tier classic to me. On the same level als Illmatic, 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, etc.
Not talking about commercial success or anything, purely the music. Untouchable. OP can suck a dikk.

Not a classic but your talking about it 15 years later 
You have to love the art of rap music to fukk with Doom. Not everybody does. Some nikkas want to shake their ass and turn up.
What impact did ressurection, illadelph half-life vol 2 and like water for chocolate have outside of people enjoying them

It had an incredible impact on the culture 
Madvillainy was one of the first auteur hip-hop records, and damn near held down the Stones Throw camp until Flying Lotus came through in the early 2010s.
