I find it easier to justify stillmatic as a classic than I can the blueprint. In stillmatic every dong was actually about something. Blueprint for the most part always felt like a mixtape because the majority of the album revolved bragging tracks justifyimg his place im hip save for a few songs like girls girls girls, never change, song cry and the title track. I didnt hate braveheart party either. Actually found it eaaier to listen to then shyt like that nikka jigga and oochie wally.

that q-tip song.

track was not needed at all breh.

a couple others kinda gave off that redundant feel that always hampered mob deep. still an all-time album tho.
Drink Away The Pain?
That's an all time conceptual masterpiece over a crazy beat.
Why wouldn't that be needed?

And there isn't a redundant feel to the album, it has a sound perfectly executed by Hav with assistance from the Tipster.

just because an artist's content is more in your favor, it doesn't automatically mean that they made the better album.

blueprint isn't a certified classic either, but its at least borderline.

both albums benefit from being in a weak year for albums, and an overall weak era for albums in comparison to what we were previously accustomed to.

that song was meh.

I retract my redundance statement tho. I was kinda thinking of "hell on earth" when I said that.
but theres certain stretches of the ainfamous where I tend to look at my clock and often times, hit the skip button. it gets a lil chunky towards the end.

Its a solid 3.5/5 album. There are a handful of weak songs (BHP, Rule, Smoking, My Country), and I always thought the beat to Build and Destroy was trash

:dwillhuh:

Blessings of life to the children, they say life is like five days
Words of a old man with silver hair, in his wheelchair
His eyes were bloody while describin what lies before me
Said evil bytches and jealous men would try to destroy me
It occurred to me, this old nikka's words couldn't be realer
I'm on top now, slightest drama, I'll have ta kill ya
Cause animals sense weakness, sharks smell blood in water
Ishmael, Moses and Job knew the divine order
shyt is plastic material, havin' no life
I crash whips and leave it no matter the price
As long as I survive, cop a new five
Circle the block where the beef's at
And park in front of my enemy's eyes
They see that it's war we life stealers, hollow-tip lead busters
There's no heaven or hell - dead is dead fukkers
And your soul is with God, your mind keeps lurkin the earth
Watchin your own murder reoccur

If :ahh: served mega and pee then what is this:francis: smh



:wow::damn: P snapped on the opening verse then Mega broke nas dwn like he was nothing.

Whose tale you tellin'? Are you frail or felon?
Were you makin' sales or watchin' nikkas sellin'?
You exploit nikkas lives in your rhymes and then avoid 'em:mjpls:
You never felt the moisture in the air over coke boilin'
You never felt the razor scrapin' your plate
Your hands achin' yet you keep choppin' cause there's paper to make
You never felt the power of invincibility
Clutchin' a gun like, fukk it dun, it's him or me:aicmon:
At your best you was a hand-to-hand
No more than three grams
What the fukk you know about a ki', man?
You never hustled:umad:
Lets get it right, my nikka Y would've stuck you
Stop dry snitchin' in your rhymes, listen
What you tryin' to do? Help the guys in blue?

Stop dry snitchin' in your rhymes, listen
What you tryin' to do? Help the guys in blue?
Indict nikkas so that can be another rhyme for you?:scusthov:



You a parasite, you never had a life
So you throw other nikkas lives in your pad at night
It's clever when you write it
Spoken well for a dude who never been indicted
You know the deal mothafukka, the real make the fake nikkas kneel:martin:


You minor league
I'm big time like Mark McGwire's team
Your whole team is p*ssy, when I squeeze, vaginas bleed:damn::pee106:
