Album titles are an important part of conveying the message and themes behind a certain project. Think about The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die or Jay-Z's The Blueprint. An album title can provide a hint for the listener about what they're going to hear on the album. However, there are many instances where album titles don't paint an accurate picture for the listener. Obviously, artists take creative licenses with their work, so album titles aren't meant to always be taken literally. But there are some album titles that we just can't forgive. Whether it's Drake pretending everything is now different, Amil encouraging criminal activity, or Iggy Azalea not understanding the definition of the word "classic," some artists should have invested a little more time in naming their LP's.

Putting the word "classic" in your album title immediately conjures up thoughts of Illmatic or Ready to Die. Nothing leading into this album suggested Iggy would be delivering a classic and the results were anything but.
