    After exploring the forums here for a few weeks, I have started to think so. Yall calling d---. and that s--- not even a year old and yall already calling that album a classic even tho it's a 7/10 at most. Some ppl here also think he has 4 classics while in reality he has like 2 at most. Just because an album is good, doesn't mean it's a classic.

    As fans of HIP HOP, do anyone else feel like I do?

    yes i f----- up the title

    Term is overused for sure but to just blame kendrick fans.. don't think its just on them.

    Was ruined long before Kendrick had a buzz. That being said calling d---. a classic a weak after release didn't help.

    GKMC certified classic
    TPAB certified cult/critical classic
