Is this a good album?
>>63764299
yea. it's a quite hardcore hip-hop album though, so you've gotta enjoy it raw
>>63764299
Why don't you listen to it
>>63764323
yea baby, I like it raw
>>63764327
I have. But I don't know what to think and need /mu/'s opinion
>>63764299
keep listening, you'll realise its a 10/10
>>63764340
This is an absolute classic for every hip-hop fan, period.
Could be interesting to have a listening to the remastered version "XX" as well.
>>63764299
It's overrated mango
If you liked 36 chambers, definitely
>>63764591
Listen to it more
I hated at first. But these guys are correct
>>63764358
>>63764677
Definitely a grower.
this is 2x better

A lot of filler. I would argue Illmatic works tighter as a album, and RoD, while it has a lot of great moments, is too inconsistent
>>63764798
examples of the fillers and many of the great moments on ready to die are GREAAAT moments. but to be honest i was over exaggerated they are both classics and illmatic even though is very over used for "favorite hip hop albums" it is top 3 all times
i find this album really boring, i appreciate the lyrics and flow and technical shit, but 90s boombap production does nothing for me
i like soul based prod anyway, like blu and exile or kanye or some shit
>>63764299
about 4/10 on first listen
>>63765181
well 90's boombap is not for everyone just like any other type of hiphop but you can't deny it isn't a classic.
>>63765221
you need a q-tip before you listen to music... you should know that already you manchild
>>63765228
depends on how you define classic
personal classic, no. classic production wise, subjectively no and there isnt really a way to rank it otherwise.widely influential, sure.
>>63765265
yea! i ment "widely influential" its a game changer. but you are absolutely right... to many this is a classic and to others it isn't. But if you ask any heavy hip-hop head and you tell them what are the top 10 hip hop albums to them I'm pretty sure more then 70% will say as one of there choices illmatic.
>>63765228
what hiphop albums you enjoy? do you have a top 3 atm
Life's A Bitch and then The World Is Yours are the best songs
