If Nasir announced Illmatic 2, what would your immediate reaction be?

[TheDarceKnight]

No the fukk he didn't. OBFCL2 was weak.

Word? Linx 2 isn't good? I thought it was the best he could have done after so many years, and people dug that album at the time. Back on it leaked the same day as Blueprint 3 and was getting a lot more love.

I thought Linx 2 is one of the better sequel albums in rap, especially when you think that it was almost 15 years later, and no one thought it would ever come out.

I liked Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang also. I could even see an argument for that being better than Linx 2.

If you're comparing it song for song to Linx 1, then yeah, it's not on the same level. I just think it was good for a sequel that was 15 years later.

Nope. Sorry friend, his rhyme patterns arent as nice as they used to be.

 

[ItzRailT]

Excited but at the same time know he won't top the original one but I would like see him try.

for me obfcl2 > shaolin vs wutang > obfcl2 = immobilarity (this wasn't as bad as people make it out to be).

i'm not saying linx 2 was wack. but in light of the hype and expectations that preceded it, with most of us awaiting something close to the first album, it was weak. i thought it was boring and lifeless, personally, almost dialed in. and i agree with you, an argument can definitely be made that shaolin vs wutang is better: production is nicer, sequencing is far superior, transitioning from song to song is seamless, and the features hold their own.

and it might be unfair for me to compare obfcl2 to one of the all time greatest rap albums ever made.

Logical and thorough reasoning. Can't argue with that.
