Elliott Wilson, of RapRadar.com, breaks down the word classic for you. The term itself is becoming both overused and taboo at the same damn time in the Hip-Hop community. We take a look at Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d. city and Nas' Life Is Good. Compare and contrast. Think about other classic albums.
