Disciple of the Projects

I recanted, my brother. Im on my 2nd listen. I was listening on very good headphones, including an digital audio converter to make sure the listening was clean and solid. And like I said, the album sounds very fresh to me, and Im digging it.
I bought the CD when I was a kid, and I admitted to having an east coast bias. Im from Crown Heights Brooklyn, and thats all I ever cared about. I let it cloud my ears.

Lets be even realer: ODB 1st album is hot garbage. So bad I have no idea what the 2nd one sounds like.
I vividly remember tossing the CD out my window like a frisbee, before that joke became funny on messageboards.

@adonnis - pull up, there's refreshments
Seeing that "Old head Reasonable Doubt" thread, ....I will admit that Jay-Z kinda forced people into believing the CD was something special.
It IS a great CD. But people really didn't think so initially, and then when the source re-reviewed it and gave it 5 mics, that was corny as hell, but it also kind of solidified how Jay-Z pretty much raped your ears.
But there are also other CD's that are championed by the "masses" and "purists" as timeless pieces, and just aren't. For whatever reason, some of these works have the "classic" label attached to them, and me being me, I just can't see it? Who Am I? I AM HIP HOP. I've been around long enough and is from the same concrete that produced these tales, so my opinion is fact. In the words of the Great Angel Garcia: YOU DONT KNOW NOTHING, I KNOW EVERYTHING!
So if I say it aint a classic, it aint a classic.
And these CD's? Aint Classics, B.
Ice Cube- Amerikkkas most wanted. I literally have 2 songs of this on my ipod. I bought it. Just took off the quick interlude with Flavor Flav and Who's the Mack. Thats it. How is this justified as a game-changing, or life long collection of hip hop songs in order, I have no idea.
Dogg Pound- Dogg Food. Another CD I bought. No Songs on my ipod at all. If someone held a gun to my head and asked me to recite just 1 song from this tape, I couldn't.
Chronic 2001- Another ear rape. Where you were forced to call it classic just because of the Name attached to it. This CD is not game changing or forever listenable. To be honest.......its actually kinda wack.
Thats the 3 I can think of off top, based on their accolades constantly being talked about and heralded as music thats supposed to last forever. Hell no, them shyts is garbage, B.
And im not making this a west coast bash fest, because I started the thread straight outta Brooklyn.
But based on the circumstances behind the releases and diff. attributes ,
Smiff N Wessun first CD shyts all over Dogg Food
Capone N Noreaga 1st CD shyts all over Dogg Food
Fat Joes 2nd CD shyts all over Amerikkkas most wanted (I counted his NWA Project, and the fact that they both switched production teams, etc...like I said "circumstances")
You should have to bare a mark that will give you great shame wherever you go for the rest of your life, you're opinion is now worthless. Matter fact from now on I'm willing to check for stuff simply off the strength of you not feeling it
