ready 2 die is one of the best albums of all time

that doesnt take away from kendricks shit. and kendricks shit dont take away from his

You are a wise man.

And wise I didnt mean he himself reminds me of nas

Damn....the carter was dope as fuck. Im bout to dl it today.....links ne one?

word GoW

now THE BLOCK IS HOT on the other hand....

lol

@uh oh are you saying illmatic is only a classic because no other good music was dropping in that time frame?


so wwrong dude ... in the early 90s the west was dropping classics left and right... cube dre snoop eazy e I mean it was like a hit factory dude ad that music is ttimeless

The east ain't have much .. rakim that's about it and even he couldn't save it ... mc serch dropped the ***tus album which was called classic till mc sham came through a destoyed their momentum sfter like a year ....

Illmatic breathed life into the east scene and then biggie wu and jay followed not long after

Ohhh And the east had krs one who is an intelligent dude but the most over rated rapper ever

West changed the game east brought the grime back sstarting with illmatic

Ras Kass tho

When scarface drop

wasn't around that time too?

And
@uh-oh u kno the prince Paul cd I'm talkin bout I think it was prince of the thieves?

thats not what i meant

im stoned now and dont want to go to deep in it

theres a million reasons illmatic is classic. i wasnt trying to say it only went classic because it was the only good album at the time. at the time people slept on illmatic. it wasnt classic till a few years later. by the whole main populace view at least

but word im stoned. illmatic is a classic because its arguably the best album of all time.

u now there was only 5 month diff tween ready to die dropping n illmatic dropping right

Ready to Die was released on September 13, 1994, and reached No. 13 on the Billboard 200 chart,[23] eventually being certified four times Platinum.[24] The album, released at a time when West Coast hip hop was prominent in the U.S. charts, according to Rolling Stone, "almost single-handedly... shifted the focus back to East Coast rap

plenty of good east coast rap coming out in the early 90s. Wu, Organized Konfusion, etc. But def west coast dominated. Illmatic>Ready to Die, tbh, but those are the two greatest albums for the genre.

Does anyone else rmbr the prince Paul cd I'm speaking on... Prince of theives

it was produced like an audible movie

???

uhoh should be in the HOF for consistent conscious, wise boarding tbh

prince among thieves? that's from 1999. dope album though

im going to hunt u down and stab u if u ever say illmatic was better then fucking ready to die

Word @oats

Kendricks kinda tried to do that movie thing too not as well imo tho

Biggie would've said the same thing. Big was the Trick Daddy of NY
