Good point about Stunts and Blunts I think that's definitely considered classic, but again there aren't too many underground "classics" of that caliber. Maybe I'm being too picky about what I consider classic or maybe I'm not thinking hard enough of good underground examples like that, but it seems like there are more popular via air-play (Radio and MTV etc) classics by far.

For example, I was at a Del show a few years back and he was giving away a hard copy printed CD for free to everyone and it was only available for free on CD to his fans at the shows and free online to anyone who wanted it. This was a full bona fide album, mind you, not a mixtape. It it's pretty good. (well, it's ok.) It has no chance of being classic in anyone's book and that type of distribution is becoming more of the norm for established or new artists. I don't think that kind of easily accessible distribution helps give the work any kind of longevity factor. I got umpteen Gigabites of that kind of music that I forgot about. For me it's the ones that get on the big labels that I personally consider Hip Hop classics. Admittedly my list of classics is frankly a short list.
