    That ? was hot though


    With Kingdom Come dude had them Budweiser Commercial doing interviews on Monday Night Football... He used the Movie to hype up American Gangster... Blueprint 3 he did the DJ Hero Video Game and had the Bluprint saga continuation... Watch The Throne an album with Kanye and tour folks were hyped... now the Magna carter ? with Samsung....

    All the albums were hype up crazy...and really only one of the albums was good (havent heard Magna Yet)

    I am going to put you up on some game my fellow IC Brethren, albums usually leak a week or so before they hit stores, you go on youtube and listen to the album or download it if you like it cop it on release day if not delete the downloaded album, then my friend you are guaranteed to never purchase a weed plate again. Using this technique I aint copped a weed plate since about 03.

    Won't do the Biggie argument cause it's subjective...

    I just go by what I see and hear....to me, both his album classic....you cant be overrated when everything you did, people world wide consider classic material.

    you guys should differentiate between albums you heard at the time they came out vs. albums you are going back to and listening to years and years later, for the first time.

    if you first heard reasonable doubt last year, then yeah, u might say "what is the big deal"
    but if u heard it in 1996 and u were like "what is the big deal"
    that is very different

    I'll say "Get Rich Or Die Tryin"


    had some songs that was cool, but overall jus felt too cookie cutter for me


    & it's seems like a lot of folks call it classic cuz of the hype & amount it sold, rather than the music itself
