I doubt R&B does either
Whether "HipHop" agrees or not "Take Care" is a classic album.

I doubt R&B does either
It's arguable, it's the last album that I can think of that put the game on smash. For a minute, most of the album was inescapable whether you had a copy or not. These were everywhere:
Headlines
Make Me Proud
The Motto + the remix
HYFR
Take Care
"Marvin's Room" was just a promo and spawned several remixes and re-makes. Never cared for that song personally, but the response and impact was crazy.
There's also the fact that people try to box the album in. Some will argue that it's R&B, Pop, Hip Hop etc. That's a testament to the range of the record even if a straight up R&B or Pop label is erroneous.

First all this album has the most quality and attention to detail put in album in long time (if ever)
No Verse, beat, sample or hook is wasted. All of them have a purpose and impact.
This album has Quality lyrics, Production, hooks and sequence.
The album has Anthems, Club songs, Introspective songs and headphone music.
Drake deals with every single emotion on this album.
This album has quotable for days and every single tore up the charts.
Impact, Innovation whatever qualities you give a classic album "Take Care" has it.
It was release with some heavyweights (WTT & C1V) and outshined them considerably.
There is no consesus on the best song on the album because every song is complete different experience.
Now let me hear about a whole bunch of shyt that has nothing to do with music(he's soft, he's a jew, the machine behind me, He sings about women, etc) on why this album is not a Masterpiece
I was gonna agree with you until you posted that gif.....
I will meet you halfway and say that it may be a classic album, but it's not a classic hip hop album.... Way too much pop, techno and pseudo R&B imo...
But it is a good pop album with potential depending on the replay value...

yes because "you gone hype me up and make me catch a body like that' "may your nighbors respect you trouble neglect you and angels protect you" and "girl you workin wit some ass yea" are the GOAT material. 
Production was good, but as normal his lyrics are meh.

Its been a rough decade for Hip Hop

This Album had 'Practice' in it. 
Its even worse when you compare it to R&B albums....
Take Care vs.
Purple Rain?
Off The Wall?
12Play?
Diary Of A Mad Band?
The nikka can't even sing, how the fukk can we even begin to compare him to bonafide R&B legends
No swipes at you, just saying, the delusions + complete lack of respect/knowledge of history of dude's fans are exactly why his music and the game are so weak right now. How can you know whats good, when you have no idea what was in the past, let alone what was good in the past. OP started listening to rap less than 4 years ago, I dont even know why yall bother

The thing is if it was an undisputed classic there would be no need to try and justify why it is one lool...It's the op's opinion but I wont accept it as fact
Dude wasted no energy or effort on anything he did. Great album.
