It just means gossip has always been and always will be, but traditions aren't involved with the entire world following it through.

It's a very weirdly stated sentence, but I don't see any grammatical mistakes. It has a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought. That by definition, classifies it as a sentence. Then looking it again, it is neither a comma splice or a run-on sentence. I would suggest it be rewritten for the reader's sake, but it is technically correct.

I think it is a little awkward.

You might want to try:

Gossip is the most classic of traditions.

I believe that is essentially making the same point, just a little clearer.

Good luck,
