As I'm sure the DJ's among us would attest to, if you set out to play a set of "classic Hip-Hop" you'd need to know your crowd to figure out the set list...."classic" means different things to different people in different parts of the world....nationally and internationally.

i think if a song, album, whatever is "classic" (from a general concensus), being commercial or underground is irrelevant. Unless your'e talking about "classic" from a record sales perspective. Diamond D's - 'Stunts Blunts and Hip Hop' is considered a "classic"....but yet underground - so, that kind of knocks that equation out of the box, IMO. To most, "classic" is about the sound.

to argue a point against what Rchecka said ("However, you can't say that about too many indie recording artists, most of them don't get that recognition to even be qualified as classic").....outside of creating a local following, regional hype, etc. - with the amount of media outlets and the ability to push music (expanding globally) there are more ways for indie artist to get seen and heard - and it's very much easier now than it was 15 years ago and back.
