This one is looked at as a classic by a lot of people now. Although I always liked this album, it was slept on in real time. Since Pharrell blew up a solo artist, people went back and see it as a masterpiece. To me, it's just a dope album that was overlooked.

I always felt like "You Can Do It Too" would've made a 5/5 Nas song with Pharrell on the hook. Nas in his introspective yet inspirational bag would've been crazy.
I've thought the same, Nas would have been perfect on it

I been waiting for a thread like this. I got a lot to get off my chest. I had just bought this cd and I knew I had a surgery comng up so I waited until I had surgery to listen to it. So I have my heavy 100+ cd book in the bed, but I coulnd't keep it on the bed due to my stomach having stitches in it at the time. I got tired to calling the nurse in the room to give me things like a book out of my bag or another cd from my book. I was hurting so bad, my roomate that night, who had back surgery(it was a big room), didn't even want me to get my wallet for food. He just paid for mine haha. So after bothering the cute nurse all day, she didn't mind, I decided not to bother her anymore after calling her to get one more cd out of the book to play in my cd walkman. Maaaaan, that cd was so goddamn garbage I never forgave Nature for that. Dude was killing all of his features leading up to this, but this album was fukin terrible. I sat there for over an our and a half with this piece of shyt suffering until I got the nerve to call the nurse in to give me my cd book to get another cd. Damn this shyt was bad

Immobilarity is #1 to me. Lyrically Rae might've been at his peak or really close to his peak. No ghost? No rza? No Wu elements even?

Honestly, Tical was always a disappointment to me, especially compared to its solo peers. It's a dope album, a 4 mic album, but should've been a classic on the level of the other solos.

Kuruption!

Kurupt was one of my favorite rappers and I was expected some Dogg food level shyt. I haven't revisited it in a long time.

The Doggfather I've listened to once ever. Murder trial drained snoop and his flow was so lazy

Infamy...infamous, hell on earth are both two of my all time favorite albums. Murda Muzik has bangers...Hnic is classic to me. Infamy just came and went.

Busta Rhymes - Big Bang Theory. So much hype, Busta cut his hair, Dr. Dre overseeing the entire thing, and the album was basically a 6/10.

Some of this album sounded like it was intended for someone other than Busta. "Break Ya Neck" sounded tailored to Busta's style, but songs like "Cocaina" and "Goldmine" sounded like what would've been on OB4CL 2 had it dropped in '06. "Don't Get Carried Away" could've easily been a Hip Hop Is Dead joint. The final song was meant for Rakim's unreleased Aftermath album. The opening song sounded like a Game joint.
