It is definitely a good album, but I wouldn't call it a classic.

Fu-gee-la, Ready Or Not, Killing Me Softly, Zealots, No Woman No Cry, and Cowboys stand out, while the rest is just okay.

They had a good run with it, built solo careers, but when compared to other iconic rap groups they are rarely mentioned, if mentioned at all. In the words of Lauryn, you might win some, but you just lost one...

Got it but couldn’t tell you the last time I played anything off of it. I listen to and have bought more vinyl cuts from Blunted on Reality (especially the remixes).

The album where everyone skips Wyclef and Pras's verses on all the songs just to hear Lauryn's verse? :mjpls:

I don't think anyone actually does that. This is a group, even Wu doesn't have ALL 10/10 MCs & 10/10 verses on EVERY song, sometimes theres a weak verse or a solo song that didn't quite hit the spot, in fact 9x out of 10, the group NEEDS that verse or MC that is style over subdtance or sometimes drops a quick 8 bars that can be fire or just be there to fill the bridge between a verse.

I thought it was.... a'aight. I wouldn't call it a classic. Hell, you can ask the common person that calls it a classic to name every track without googling, and they prolly couldn't. It does have some classic tracks, though.

Lauryn on Zealots made it safe to play around older family members.

My uncle came through one day and got mad cause she said "mother fukker" on the song. I pointed out that she said "I add a motherfukker so you ignant nikkas hear me" and played it back so he could hear it.

They never criticized me listening to it again. :mjlol:
