Cuzz, some people talk about a hit like if it was classic? I Could be wrong, but Hit doesn't equel to Classic in my book.

"A hit isn't a classic."
I'm kinda with you on that one. To me, a classic is something that is remembered well after it was a hit. And younger people who didn't hear it the first time it was released would like the song anyway. Radio stations would play them occasionally.
Unfortunately, by this criteria, MOST Freestyle hits would not qualify for this title. A few songs that would qualify include:
"Let The Music Play" - Shannon
"Spring Love" - Stevie B.
"If You Leave Me Now" - Jaya
"Can You Feel The Beat" - Lisa Lisa
"When I Hear Music" - Debbie Deb
(I'm not sure that I would even consider the last 2 as Freestyle.)
A Freestyle chart hit like "Temptation" by Corina didn't have the timeless quality to make it a classic. (I still like the song anyway.)
I'm going by strict rules. So a compilation called "Freestyle Classics" (I know there's one out there) will be more inclusive to fill in the 74 minute CD.

a classic is an old good song in my opinion. the word hit has never come into mind as being a classic.
"what makes a freestyle song a classic"...... its age. sometimes people imply the word classic as meaning old but good.
