Classics Discussion: Busta Rhymes & Big L

[Middle Finga U]

I like Busta's first 4 albums but I only think the first 2 are classics. Fukk that, The Coming is a classic to me

 

[mobbinfms]

exactly how I feel

but I feel as though I'm excluding The Coming on the basis of quality, because it was pretty relevant tbh

gonna listen again

The album kind of came and went in 96. Woo Hah was huge, but that dropped in 95 if I'm not mistaken?

Voted yes for Big L
I think this album is crazy underrated.
And I think it's stood the test of time. It was definitely overlooked in 95, but it still rings bells to this day.
Now a lot of that may be due to his death
And all the fans that hopped on the band wagon after he died, but I had Lifestylez on cassette so I'm allowed

it's underrated but in a sense it is a poor man's The Infamous

I think it is slightly lacking in quality, as for relevance, I'm not really sure of it unless as you said the death played a role

not sure tbh breh

I would have thought It's a Party and other stuff are pretty timeless

also can you say Redman RENEGADE. that cypher was magnificent and Redman bossed it

It's a Party was a great song, but it was a minor hit when it dropped.
The posse song didn't make much waves in 96

oh no wasn't talking about how big the posse cut was, just appreciating it! what a track!

ok fair enough about It's a Party

and yeah you're right about The Infamous tbh...

 

[Middle Finga U]

Voted no for all. Busta was always consistent tho. ELE is my favorite album of his.

Big L died before he reached his potential

This. He was moving in the right direction.

"Flipmode Squad Meets Def Squad" was my favorite song on the album. That and "Everything Remains Raw."

 

[Ribbs]

ELE isn't a classic?
