i don't feel Capital punishment that much. there are some dope cuts on there, but also a lot of filler material and cheesy singles. i dont say its wack per se, but compared to other classic albums it just can't hang there



that just don't do it for me :manny:


also just too many skits:unimpressed:

A lot of people consider Death is Certain a classic but I only liked it a little when I first heard it and it didn't age well at all

Chronic -singles are amazing couple other great tracks but with the way nikkas talk about it you'd think every track was as great as Dre Day, G Thang or Let Me Ride. Honestly most the 2nd half I don't even check for and the skits kinda wack unless you still a teen.......2001 has the same problem for me


Low End Theory- just too boring. Some amazing production throughout and a couple legendary tracks but sitting through the whole thing it might as well be background music while I do something else. Midnight Marauders is way better to me

The Cold Vein- The production and rapping when it hits right you get classics like Iron Galaxy, Atom, Raspberry Fields & Pigeon but when it don't like most the rest it gets kinda meandering listenin to it. The experimental/abstract/futuristic production with some of Vast lethargic flow, some of that repetition shyt. And Vorduls delivery just don't match for a lot of tracks. I think it's good they didn't have a follow with El

AEOM -some great records but too many tracks and some of the production aged like :trash:. Ain't no way this needed to be near 30 tracks and over 2 hours. If you took some of the first side with the next and cut off some fat I could buy the hype but I feel you gotta be a Pac stan to really LOVE this record which is fine but ain't for me at least not as a whole

Dah Shinin and Enta Tha Stage- they're good records and very important albums specially for NY hip hop but nikkas just advanced what them nikkas was doin later on. It's like when you watch a movie from the 60s and there a way better version of it done in the 70s or 80s

Miseducation and The Score- alright albums but I'd be lyin if I said I thought they were great

And last I'd say almost anything out of the Bay. I don't even know if albums there are considered classic no disrespect but I always felt them nikkas made classic songs (I Got 5 on It, 93 Till) but not records. I can name at least one classic I fukk with heavy from any region but the Bay:yeshrug:

Never been into Tribe. Never really dug NWA. So none of their shyt, just a preferential thing

I know it's revisionist history only but I see it on here a lot...It Was Written is not a classic album to me. The War Report isn't a classic. Etc...

It's not a bad album but 7 Day Theory.

I'd put AEOM, MATW, & S4MN all ahead of it.

Still better than 2Pacalypse to me though.

7 Day Theory - some subpar beats

2001 and Chronic - classic cuts mixed with quite a few forgettable ones

First 3 Ice Cube albums - not a fan of boom bap

Ready To Die - see Cube
