++Jay-Z - The Blueprint (2001)++ ----modern standards to some extent i do agree

Scarface - The Fix (2002)--to old standards i do agree

[monjau04]

just as an opinion ...
- Jay-z's -"Blueprint" was good but not a classic, "In My Lifetime
Vol. 1 " could pass for a classic.
- Run DMC'- "Raising Hell" could also be considered a classic.
- Dr. Dre - " Chronic 2001" - HELL NO!!! not a classic 5 mics maybe.
- LL Cool J-" Radio" definitely a classic

I am aware this is the list from the Source , but don't you think these albums should have been considered at least for 5 mics;
Westside Connection- " Bow Down "
2 Pac & Outlawz -" Still I Rise" (have you listened to The
song Teardrops and closed caskets,...
its genius)
DMX - " And Then There was X..." Damn good album.
Eminem - " Marshall Mathers LP"
Nas - " It was written" - Yes i agree Stillmatic should not even
be on this list.

... or what do you think....

That D.M.X. album is one of his worst album ...he sold his soul.....too poppish infact i think its a 3 mic album

MarshalL mathers could have become a classic if it wasnt for that poppish single I am slimshaddy and overdoing that gay ####

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!?!there's that nas hatin' thing again.you're partly right though,Stillmatic didn't deserve 5 mics,10 is more like it.that sh!t was so ill,the poor bastards at the Sauce(the typo is on purpose)didn't know where to put it coz it blew they damn ballz off!see,after givin 5 mics to blueprint coz of all that takeover hype,nas droppped his classic sh!t.and coz there's nuthin higher than 5 mics they could give him,they settled for 5.we're all rap hedz dude,so stop hatin.a wise brotha once told me,blind hate is the consolation of fools.my ni99a nas spit..........ni99az fear what they can't understand,hate what they can't conquer........So just coz you don't get dude don't spread the sentiment.wise up bra,nuff sed.
