Slap is a corny word for a beat as well, and pronouncing "tune" as "toon" is amusing to me...

So are you saying you pronounce it 'tyoon'?? Cuz THAT would be amusing to me...

This isn't about being contrary, it's about being incorrect. You, sir, are the latter.

At what point did music criticism become an empirical science?

It's not; yet, one still has the ability to get it wrong.

"getting it wrong" >>>> boring opinions

Can anyone plz defend Reasonable Doubt in even a halfassed way. If we're gonna disagree, lets get some content involved. This "I'm right you're wrong" shit is childish.

Better a "wrong" opinion than a non-opinion...

It was pretty apparent that the Becky's of the day were into it...which is the prime requirement for many to declare a rap album a classic.

I feel neither compelled nor inspired to defend Reasonable Doubt to you guys.

Your opinions don't particularly matter to me or to the rap buying public.

Sorry.

... and yet, there is vast consensus that the former is a classic, and the latter... a pretty good album.

Not trying to single you out, but damn man I find that strange since you ride hella hard for a lot of thugged out shit.I thought I had my backpack on pretty tight.

I remember buying reasonable doubt BITD and loved it. FEELIN IT IS MY SHIT! and that one remix with Mary J on it got plenty of kufi love in my wetmouth deejay gig days.

Reasonable Doubt=Auto Reverse
Vol. 3=Fast Forward

I love Vol. 3's intro and certain tracks on V3 have aged better than certain tracks on Reasonable Doubt but overall Reasonable Doubt is a much better, more cohesive album. Also, Jay doesn't even have the best verse on Vol. 3

I've been getting paid every day since I signed up for this website. And that's, as Hov would say, the shit I don't write.

Hmmm....

1. I thought noz and jonny and faux etc etc always agreed on everything.

2. Arguing about Jay-Z is so 1999.


3. I know I'm not the only one that thought Tune and Toon were pronounced exactly the same way and is now wondering how you could possibly pronounce them differently.

Depends. If the song's really good, it's pronounced choon!
