Who actually hates it lol. I mean couple songs did age horribly but no one can deny it’s a classic.

Yeah Toxicity album was great, it blows away rap metal albums and Serj can sing. Most of the late 90s/whole 00s metal was garbage. I'm no big metal expert but give me something like Pantera over these rap metal bands.

Re! Spect! Walk! What did you say???


Oh I can not stand rock rap generally.
System of a down is judged by or amongst themselves.
just like tool as a group. They are a thing in to themselves.
that can only be judged amongst themselves.

Imo 9/11 kinda signals rhe day rock died as genre. As that was like the last day. It was worth it.
to visit the record store for a rock album as far as quality.
Pantera and nirvana were the last Teo groups to make do not kill yourself suicide music with big long now and suicide pt one and two. Yet outside of those two glimmers of heavy content based music like that from those bands. After tool in 2001.

It really was and is no need.
to listen to another rock band.
other than tool moving forward.
[Outside of deftones, nin, and sod].

So you never missed nuffin with heavy heavy content. That could talk you down off the edge. since pantera anyway tbh.

I remember this I believe Art bigged her up because of her personality/swagger... I don't recall him saying Cardi was a dope mc.


This.

Thank you for this.

You see how people get the narrative wrong as fukk.

Then try to act like they know what they were talembout. While being completely mistaken.
Plus putting forth.
a fake false incorrect face ass narrative.

It's a classic album and I played it into the ground back then. I still feel like it has two blatantly out of place tracks that any other "classic" would get fairly critiqued for.

If you judge a classic by impact then it's easily classic. Popularized soul samples, Kanye, Just Blaze, Bink, the Em feature and the convo around it, Takeover, all of the quotables. To me that makes up for Jigga That N being ass and Hola Hovito not belonging there lol

nu-metal and 9/11 really killed rock

and not a moment too soon, sadly

there are still great rock/metal groups underground but you have got to dig for em

Not even worth the time.


Tool already exists.
There is no need to listen to rock past tool as a band.

Nobody worth they’re salt hates The Blueprint. Its an all time classic and this is coming from a Nas stan.

That album is incredible top to bottom. The REAL question should be why do people hate on Hola Hovito? That song is my fukking JAM
The drums on Hola Hovito are crazy
I know it was a drum machine, but the way the drums were mixed it felt like somebody was actually playing live drums.

Then how can any rapper be a dope MC in modern times?

Jay-Z can I get a fukk you was given to him by Ja Rule as in The Hook and concept.... possibly flow direction.

Scaling a business and brand is going to require multiple people. Ego shouldn't get in the way of delivering a dope product to humanity. A rapper specializing in writing just the verses is the Ford assembly line....better and faster plus it allows more people to eat around you.
