OC's Jewelz - Classic or Not?

[nieman]

No. It's a damn good album, but maybe a 4-4.375/5. Something is missing from it though.

Its been sooo lonnngggg like Monifa... Classic! No ifs, ands, or millennial babies

 

[Crumple]

Just popped this in, and it's just as fresh as when I copped the CD on the day of its release. Only forgettable track is Dangerous, and I fux with Big L.

If Dangerous is a forgettable track for you - and it's literally some real Harlem classic with a classic 70s sample and a track and sample I love - then yes this album is a classic lol

[ThirdAct]

Both Jewelz and Word...Life are classics.

It doesn't have an "it" song. The album is damn near 4.5 mics though. If it just made *any* impact it'd be a classic.

Damn great effort though

 

[DOSDUMUNI]

Absolutely.

I don't know man... I'll easily call "My World" and "M.U.G.", "It" songs.

Those songs are both still as dope and fresh today as when I first heard them on a Tony touch mixtape back in '97... That effortless flow that Omar is using on My World is simply
