Definition Of A Classic Album | JID The Forever Story Breakdown

JID's The Forever Story feels like an instant classic. But what is a classic album in this era anyway?

Thank you to Rob Markman, Fuzzy The Connector, Isaiah Rashad, and DJ Cousin Mike for your insight.

Also, Omeretta The Great has GREAT closing arguments in the outro. Make sure you stick around for that.

Thank you to Ethan McNew, James Buergo, and Jake Lamotta for contributing to the mission.
