I liked the album. Half of it was dope, the other half kinda average.

Not what I'd expect from Hov, but it was cool to roll with at the time. My problem with it, was basically the production. But "So Ambitious", "Thank You" and "What We Talkin' About" are STILL my joints!!

BP3 is not a classic at all. But its a very great album. The good songs were absolutely great. (thank you, what we talkin bout, already home, doa, real as it gets, so ambitious, esom, run this town, star is born ect) but the bad songs were very mediocre (reminder, off that, on to the next one, young forever :huhldup:)

Hate is a funny song, not supposed to be taken seriously. so i kinda like it. :stylin:

"how much they hate it? very :yes:"


:umad:

:lawd: Someone else who appreciates the hilarity of Hate. "Why I always see them at the airport Ye, why I never see them at the clair port Ye" :dwillhuh:

"we blastin off like a laser nikka puh puh puh." :deadrose:

You must have skimmed through the thread, I never said auto-tune was dead. I acknowledge Future bringing back to life, but Jay shot it down while it was at its peak and demoted T-Pain from an A-List feature to a bum who can't push 100k.

& No I.D. wasn't working with mainstream artists until recently, he's getting more $$$ than ever after working with Jigga.

NO ID has been engineering, producing and composing for everyone and their fukking mama for over 20 years, were talking the same NO ID who was making house music because there were literally no producers in his area. Do some fukking research. he was one of the first to even come out of his city

Challenging the climate of hip hop's age group:pachaha:

As we all know, hip hop has relatively been a young mans genre. The older a rapper gets, the less relevant he is. Jay-Z defied that, not only by remaining relevant, but by making a hit out of the statement "I'm forever young". Thanks to Jay:what:, rappers like Eminem and Nas were able to grow up and stop rapping about childish antics.

As I've mentioned in this thread, I'm calling it a classic off it's impact and accolades rather than the music. I personally don't think it's a top 5 Jigga album:snoop:, but no other album of his elevated himself or brought anything to the game like BP3. Only albums that come close in that area are BP1 and TBA. Sure you have great albums that are always praised on here like like Below The Heavens or Food & Liquor, but what did they bring to hip hop? It's classic in the sense that it will be remembered for it's accomplishments on a cultural scale.


:ufdup:You know that shyt is fukkin' ridiculous....

Made No I.D. a premier hip hop producer
No I.D. production discography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just look at his catalog, he's always been relatively non-mainstream. Being Common's go to producer, being ditched by Dilla for his second biggest album. Then being ditched by him again for his biggest album with Kanye. You'd have to be a huge rap head to know who he was at the time. After BP3, he started working with Rihanna, Drake, Rick Ross, Kid Cudi and many more mainstream acts.

Do you mean the catalog that includes...

Toni Braxton
G-Unit
Kanye
Bow Wow
Jahiem
Ghost & Meth
Jamie foxx
Fabulous
Twista
Jim Jones
Janet Jackson

........as relatively non-mainstream???:shaq:

Exactly, . I found the whole thing funny, as did comedians who made parodies.

Can't even stomach myself, ulcer. :pachaha: .
