what does it base classics on? The source? XXL? Vibe? Or other magazines and website? Or all of them combined? Or does it choose which albums it deems classic?

it pretty much bases classic off of actualy quality if that makes any sense, no media influence is present

like they do an indepth study on Pete Rock & Cl SMooths albums

also Tribe's albums too

how many classics does it talk bout?
