Yeah, I think this is it. If you're old enough to remember when it came out you probably thought it wasn't as good as the critics said, and if you're a younger person hearing it for the first time now you probably cant imagine what the hype was for.
to me, a "not as good as I wanted it to be" record isn't it... shit's gotta be big time suspect and held up as some unimpeachable triumph. Like "The Score"!
No? I feel like it's held to unimpeachable classique status, when it is in reality far from an end-to-end burner.
I have issues w/ dudes who say its better than Nations. And ive read it here at SS.
Fear has some real "hold the mayo" joints on there, but its still a great album.
Good "Camoflague Hatt" Thread.
B.I.G. - Life After Death has too many fuckin songs. Shave that shit down and it could be crazy.
Method Man - TICAL is a classic but its got lull points. Fuck that Wu-worship at the time.
And the MOST OVERRATED JOINT in my book..............
overrated by real headz or casual fanz?
score would definitely make it for casual but I don't hear anyone who really knows rapps talking about it's classique status

The Score is Classic. Is it overrated...I can agree.

You're only allowed to love it if you can say that you love Mr. Scarface Is Back at least twice as much.
Hell yeah. I still don't buy Kanye. Dude has been faking it 'til he makes it the whole time as far as I'm concerned.
THIS is overrated
Good call.
