Solid album overall with some classic tracks. I don't really get this aged bullshyt though (and that goes for just about every album that someone has said 'aged poorly').

Squeeze First and Change The Game were the only joints that are below classic.

lol at the nerd comments in this thread.


How is this below classic?

That's how most of these so called gangstas pass
I, squeeze first ask questions last
Cuz when I pull up, always pop, that's why I'm livin today

Yo, when I meet ya, I heat ya down
When I greet ya, meet ya with pound from Mr. Shawn Correy
Carter, rap harder like I'm part of a cult
Like Cuban cigar maker 'cept I'm hard to smoke
And y'all choke motherfukkers

See when I'm low in digits, I push blow in a blizzard
I'm a player for real, I post and pivot
Coke distribute, be where the ghostes visit
Where the demons live, shyt my scene is vivid
Squeamish kids, y'all get the fukk outta this verse
It's about to get so obscene in a minute
I seen and live it, I did some things I admit it
Wasn't proud of it, but I was a child fukk it
Kept a pow tucked in a brown belt
Couldn't sit down, big gun kept stickin my pelvis
shyt it was either that or be livin wit Elvis
nikkas is jealous, hell is hot, you heard X
Wanted to tell God that I don't deserve this
Was afraid that he'd tell me I deserve less
My life was nervous, you haven't heard stress
Til you heard the cries of my mama, me givin her drama
Told her I aint promised tomorrow, gotta live for the day
And before she could say Jay...
I was out the door, pouch full of raw, a outlaw mentality
Men gotta do men things for men salary
Bad Boy, not Puff or Mike Lowery, damn B.I.G. woulda been proud of me
Ahh shyt man...
Young Hova ya heard?
Who could fukk wit him?

it was never a critically acclaimed album to begin with
4.5 mics in the source and 600k first week was not critically acclaimed ha :mjpls:

You can really tell what cats didn't' really know much about hiphop back in the days. It wasn't a classic, evne though cats like MTV call it a classic but it was always considered a very dope album.

^^I Am had one of those funny The Source reviews still deserved 4 mics, but I Am was still critically acclaimed in the streets.
Maybe not in retrospect but at the time, it had people acting like they did when Life is good dropped but in a 5 times bigger scale from what I recall.

Of course a classic is a classic, when you can look back and still hold it in the same high regard decades later.


how the fukk does 600k first week make it critically acclaimed
The combination of good words and big sales makes it evident that A LOT of people fukked with it.
