Opinions I guess. It's all a matter of perspective it seems. reviews don't matter until they do, metacritic is useless until it's not. And this is the problem with labeling good albums as classics. Classics are universally known as classics. There's not really a debate. There are people who don't like illmatic because it's just not their taste, but STILL recognize it as a classic because it is. Its either, Drake is too polarizing And there's always going to be people on either side of the fence. Or his music just isn't that amazing.
People connect with a lot of albums though, my question is what makes this album a classic? Because of YOLO? really? Cmon. I think your confusing his impact, for his quality. His appeal and impact is apparent. His music still gets burn on the radio because he's huge,and extremely popular. That doesn't change the quality of the songs though B.
I agree to disagree. He doesn't have a classic that's universally recognized as a classic, maybe that's what I should say, he has no GKMC, illM, Blueprint, Late registration, etc. he has albums that his fans cherish and call classics,but not any undeniable classics.
