If The Source still mattered, it should be re-mic'd to 5
Incredible album and STILL some fresh
And Grindin' is still one of the best singles EVER

Because half the idea of a classic is how something ages. Time changes things, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. Some albums were praised highly when they dropped and have aged poorly, and others have gotten better with time. Lord Willin is one that's gotten better with time.
WASNT CONSIDERED A CLASSIC IN REAL TIME
SO WHY ARE WE HELL BENT ON REWRITING HISTORY?
NAH PUSHA T HAS GOTTEN MORE POPULAR
SO nikkaS ARE RETROACTIVELY BOOSTING HIS OLD ALBUMS.
It took me an until “until the casket drops” to really appreciate “Hell hath No Fury” from front to back”. Now it’s my favorite clipse album.

I remember when I 1st heard Pusha verse, I think I was in the 7th grade and that shyt blew my mind something serious. fukking crazy....
The impact of the “grindin” beat being played on 97.2% of school lunch tables in America lol. I remember the singles other singles being pretty hot too.
I think it kind of faded in 03, but LW had 2002 on lock for a hot minute. The throwback jersey culture was at its peak, street basketball mesh well with the lead single, shytty freestyling got even more popular in school, being somewhere any hearing any random part of the album playing out of cars.
Maybe it was all the cultural moments adding up and Lord Wiling lining up with all that, but it certainly felt special when it dropped and people realized grindin’ wasn’t the only good song.
Man we throw around that classic label
its worth a debated classic....not undisputed classic.
its worth being in the discussion wtih niche fanbases who also call Pinata a classic but its not in the All Eyez On Me/GKMC undisputed status
For years I thought that song was on Lord Willin till I replayed it back in like 2021 and remember that was Baby’s shytIf it had "What Happened to that Boy?" (on their album) it probably would've
Guess I’m in the minority but only fukked with few records on this album … did not like a lot of them beats
That second album tho is flames man
