T-pain had great songs, no one will vouch for any certain album he has. HOB overall consensus is that it definitely changed R&B. The mystery and aura around who he was, along with the sound and the quality of the tape is what makes it a classic.
The Source helped popularize the term, the same way it did the King of New York title.
Nobody said Kane was KONY, nobody said it about Rakim, nobody said that about Nas.
It didn't start happening until The Source had him on the cover.
The same way with classic albums, did people talk about Stevie Wonder, James Brown or Marvin Gaye albums in those terms? Music just didn't start being consumed in the 2000's.
I know about rap from more than one era, because I've experienced it. You dudes take modern terminology and how music is consumed and apply it to before you.
Just like that little discussion about The Weekend. How many classic albums did Bob Marley have in a row? Michael Jackson? Prince? Did people care?
I wasn't saying those albums came out at the same time. I'm naming classics as a example. My point is people ain't wait 10-50 years to call something classic.That's false.
I was 5 when Doggystyle dropped.
Reasonable Doubt is probably the only classic that was overlooked til way down the road.
You're telling me what people were doing and you were five
Facts. This revisionist history be killing me
Yes, people these days speak in hyperbole and rush to proclaim the latest project as "classic or trash"....however, that doesn't take away from the great projects that drop that get caught up in that discussion.
Do you know what revisionism is?
You're telling me about a period I was actually a part of. And you would know it was false, because?
And I'm still wondering if you dudes actually like stuff because you like it, or because everybody else does and it's the cool thing to like. What happens when it becomes uncool or when he popularity fades? You're still going to be playing Future and The Weekend?
People was not waiting years and years to say what's a classic.
T-Pain made a impact but I dont know about
What T-Pain is a classic to you? His first 2 albums are good but i aint never heard somebody say Rappa Turnt Singa or Emphany are classics.

T Pain is influential, and he had hits, but I never heard anyone speak in high regard of one of his albums.

He widely affected hip-hop (autotune was his bridge)
I'll go off on a tangent and say without t-pain, we wouldn't have gotten 808's & Heartbreak

I just said he made a impact.
He has no classic albums though.
Bartender, Tipsy, Shawty.
Yeah that's when the source started losing their credibility with Bezino.
Stick to the point.
