^ i guess so... but i wouldnt consider the chronic a true classic.... it has repetitive beats and lyrically, kurupt is the only rapper who consistently comes off nice. Old Snoop occassionally has some good lyrics, but that's pretty much it. Not to mention that the whole album is gangstafied with no real meaning. But i guess it did revolutionize hip-hop in terms of beats... but i still wouldnt call it a true classic, in fact, dre 2001 is better in my opinion
