In this episode of THE RAP SOUL PODCAST, host 12Kyle delves into the contentious topic of whether an album can be labeled an 'instant classic.' 

Drawing from a heated discussion in his group chat, he explores the definition of classic albums, emphasizing that true classics are recognized over time rather than immediately. 12Kyle argues that while listeners may enjoy an album upon first listen, it takes time and repeated exposure to determine its lasting impact and significance in music history. 


The conversation highlights generational differences in music appreciation and the importance of context in defining what makes an album a classic.
