What are the criteria by which albums are deemed "classic"? Are there important differences between a classic album and a classic mixtape? Can a classic sound dated, or have bad songs?

In the first episode of the Now That You Mention It podcast, Dane and Kevin attempt to answer all of the above questions, and more. Artists discussed in this episode include Isaiah Rashad, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Nipsey Hussle, Dom Kennedy, Wu-Tang, the Diplomats, and DMX. Also: Kevin shouts out Tinashe, and Dane notes the cringe-inducing qualities of Jonah Hill's recent hip-hop centric press run.
