I definitely consider MMM a classic, but not because it's widely considered to be such. An album like that in 1975 is just so insanely unheard of and had a massive effect on the avant-garde scene. It might be a troll album, but I don't think that that's the only motivation behind it. Lou Reed always had a disposition toward the experimental, so it's not very unlikely that he used his jadedness as a jumping off point for something that he really wanted to do.
Unless you're talking about Eminem's new album? If so, let me know and I'll explain how hype trains work.
