[L. Deezy]

On some general consensus shyt, probably Paid in Full. When in reality, that's Rakim's 3rd best album

Hmmm, I think it was their best album.. but a very overrated disc.

It only had 6 songs out of 10. A strong 6 but overrated album

 

[Canada Goose]

Toss up between Life After Death, 7 Day Theory, All eyes on me, The Massacre for #2 IMO.

Please don't throw around the word "overrated" like that.

Paid in Full is an album that defined an entire genre of music. You cannot just easily say it's "overrated" in a post that consists of little more than 1 sentence

Illmatic is overrated b

Reasonable Doubt>>>>Illmatic

Stillmatic>>>>>Illmatic

Ready 2 die>>>>>Illmatic

The infamous>>>>Illmatic

Life after death>>>>>Illmatic

In 94 illmatic wasnt even the hottest album out this is a revisionist classic

illmatic is one of few classic out the gate albums. reasonable doubt is a revisionist classic actually. illmatic has been surpassed by some ablums but at the point that it dropped it was the best hip hop album created.

 

[JayBaldacci]

all eyes on me and seven day theory are also revisionist classics, so is it was written. it doesn't mean these albums aren't dope, just that they weren't considered classic when they dropped.
