Top 5 song on the album. The beat alone is Classic.

When "Aquenimi" Got 5 MICS it was a celebration, it was like Outkast finally made it. But Big Boi wasn't happy with what their debut got:
"I need that other half of mic cause that southernplayalisticcalimusic was a Classic" - Big Boi
"I need that other half of mic cause that southernplayalisticcalimusic was a Classic" - Big Boi
I see Coolio's album is just as good as IWW and RDWhen "Aquenimi" Got 5 MICS it was a celebration, it was like Outkast finally made it. But Big Boi wasn't happy with what their debut got:

They threw a few crumbs in there
Still my copy laying around the house.
It was a good issue. Good list of albums. I remember the producers list was kind of crazy.
That was right about the time the source was getting iffy. XXL was strong at that point, and i think Blaze was already out by then. The Ego Trip lists were always stronger imo. Can't remember where rap pages was at this point.

De La's I've never been crazy about - but I should give it another shot.
Never heard a Beastie Boys album.

Yes Tribe 2nd and 3rd albums were better than the Debut but De La debut is their most critically acclaimed album. Also "Paul's Boutique" just off the samples is a Classic album. The Beaties 1st album though Classic too, to me gets more praise than it should. I was very young when it dropped and I've tried to get into it but I feel their 2nd album was slightly better. "Paul's Boutique" feels way more "HIP HOP" than their debut.

MM is not better than the debut. Even The Source knew that back when The Source knew some thangs.
