Which albums took the biggest leap on 2nd listen?

[chuckifubuck]

Like, which albums did you think were just aaight first time through but the second time you're

Don't have a specific one in mind but this has happened to me with every single spitta album. Even stoned immaculate first time through I was lukewarm on it but the second listen got me

 

[Pop123]

Get Rich or Die Tryin. The lyrics were so damn generic and simple that I actually didn't even like the album. Then somehow it started sounding better and better

 

[28 Gramz]

It Was Written, I ain't appreciate it in 96 when I was young cause I was more into Pac,Bone and down south shyt, I got older and now it's in my top 10.

 

[labelplant]

It usually takes me 4 listens to properly judge an album. Also preferably during different times of the day and different moods for all 4.

 

[Big Mel]

a lot.

i didn't like Low End Theory off the rip.

i didn't like Ol' Dirty's album off the rip.

i didn't like Fear Of a Black Planet off the rip.



mad shyt took a few spins to settle. it's because they were actually bodies of work. they weren't so predictable, familiar and ho hum.

 

[jerzboy]

Philadelphia Freeway

Turned out to be one of The Roc's best releases

 

[TheHomie]

The Cool - Lupe Fiasco, took awhile to hit me but when it did

I think If you aint heard My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy at least twice then you aint got any right to even comment on it

Tha Carter III (.......whatever nikka hate on) Go give that banger a spin once more brehs.............wayne's best album and the only one I fukk with, C2 is overrated

Wu-Tang Forever

 

[stealthbomber]

man on the moon

wasnt feeling the beats at first

 

[Busby]

Resonable Doubt..I was young around that time period...People were already calling it a classic and I was just like

Until I watched that Ultimate Album special on VH1..and I saw Hov decode a lot of the songs and lyrics so it left me like ..so then I relistened to the album again with new ears and I realized it was Hov's classic..

 

[Daniel]

Watch The Throne

 

[old soul]

Kid Cudi and anything from Stalley

 

[Deltron]

Del's eleventh hour

 

[Chain Color of Akon]

Watch The Throne

Cosign

At first I was like

Then I was like

Now I'm like

 

[AV Dicey]

Watch The Throne is actually a pretty nice album when judged objectively, Otis encompasses all the rhetoric surrounding Nas' recent albums and his widely praised ascetic take on hip-hop....and yes, Take Care was a good at first listen and is a great inclusion in the pantheon of great hiphop albums.

Definitely. Compared to mixtape Fif it was too aggressive.


Hell Hath No Fury on first listen was a complete let down. But after some more play it turned into a classic...
