In that case, how would you redefine the term classic? As far as I know, you wouldn't redefine the term, you just wouldn't have any more classic albums or at least not as many if that is the case. But I think that if an album does come out that is truly as groundbreaking as, say, Illmatic was, then regardless it will stay at the top and have enough impact to call it a classic.
While I agree with this, should we re-evaluate what we consider a classic to fit in today's culture to accomodate it?

Idk, who discovered RD years after it had faded into obscurity and called it their favorite album, leading to people deeming it a classic?
It wasn't so much as someone rediscovered it, but I was on YT and some guys were debating on RD and this one guy said didn't anybody even look at RD as a classic until Jay-Z said so on the Blueprint. I would agree with this because I didnt even know about Reasonable Doubt UNTIL I heard that specific line on The Blueprint.
