Definitely still his best.
Nuthin' to Do has one of the greatest instrumentals on the planet. A class filtering. So does the title track/album opener. -
Classic.
-
Classic no doubt. I got this and like water for chocolate as his best albums
-
AS FAR AS AN OVERALL BODY OF WORK (BEATS & LYRICS)...
ONE DAY... IS MY FAV. COMMON ALBUM...
BUT IN REALITY...
HIS BEST ALBUM IS INTERCHANGEABLE BETWEEN ONE DAY..., LWFC, OR RESURRECTION
I WILL SAY THIS ALBUM HAS SOME OF THE FINEST USES OF SAMPLING...EVER
AS FAR AS PRODUCTION, THIS MIGHT BE NO I.D.'S FINEST WORK... -

Co Sign. ? will be hard press to say he don't have at least 5 classic albums. -
Classic album. Personally I think Be is his best from top to bottom. Either way dude is a legend.
-
This is his best album to me followed by One Day It Will All Make Sense
-
Definitely still his best.

Didn't like it.
Press that wack button it is what it is. -
BE is his most popular album but not his best at all if you ? with his catalog. He has few albums better than that
-
BE SERVED ITS PURPOSE AS A REINTRODUCTION/COMEBACK ALBUM...
UNLIKE ELECTRIC CIRCUS...
(WHICH WAS DOPE TO ME, BUT WIDELY CONSIDERED A FAILURE)...
BE WAS ACCESSIBLE, IT WASN'T OUTSIDE OF THE BOX...
OVERALL, LYRICS & BEATS WERE SOLID & ITS A COOL ALBUM....
IT DEFINITELY RANKS BELOW ONE DAY, RESURRECTION & LWFC...
B/C I FEEL COMMON COULD'VE MADE THIS ALBUM BLINDFOLDED OR IN HIS SLEEP...
BUT ITS A DOPE 4/5 FOR ME...
