Lets talk about FORCED "Classics"...West coast finna get they jaws tight

Mel is a hip hop purist full of contradictions and worn out cochleas. His opinion should be put into context. He represents the "real hip hop" crowd to it's fullest extent. The only other user who may be worse is Art Barr.

this dude named 3/4 of all rap since 1985

 

[Big Mel]

Not being classic does not mean i don't thoroughly enjoy these albums. i do.


I'd say there's only like 20 true classics. I'd have to think about that but it sounds about right.

And you, little Sydney are a product of the internet lulz era where nothing means anything beyond the momentary laugh. Hip Hop has petered out and now just cruises along sans any real artistic spikes or improvements. So you lash out or cling to sellouts with just enough footing in my era to justify thier fraudulent activity since you began popping pimples and fapping into socks.

this is the what's so, little homie.

 

[Poitier]

When are you going to get over the year 1996?

 

[Big Mel]

here's some perspective from my era:

Nation Of Million - uber classic

Fear Of a Black Planet - not classic


Straight Outta Compton - Mega classic

Nigaz4life - not classic


36 Chambers - classic

Wu Tang Forever - not classic

Infamous - classic

Hell On Earth - not classic


and so on and so forth.

When are you going to get over the year 1996?

I wasn't thrilled with 1996. I saw what was looming. Your bf had a lot to do with that.

 

[Poitier]

It's all Nas' fault, yall. He was Anakin and decided to turn into Vader. He's the rap antichrist.

 

[Big Mel]

Oh it goes far beyond Nas. His was just the most baffling heel turn that NO ONE saw coming. I could go into detail about why 1996 was the start of the ending but you'd all get incredibly upset.

 

[Poitier]

If you have the time, go ahead. I'm sure I'll thorough enjoy this

 

[Dopematic]

I don't agree on all your choices, Ice CUbe i'll skip but Dogg Food is not a classic, true, it's remembered as a good album mostly because of the flows and lyrics but I don't think most people remember it as a classic, of course there's always people who exaggerate beacuse of the label they were in and the era they were in, Reasonable Doubt I disagree a lot of people digged that album before the Source re-rated it, same For 2001, certified classic. The Next Episode, Still, too many dope songs to name...

Stankonia is an overhyped album to me...

 

[Big Mel]

It was the year when all the momentum that began in 1993, which was a jumping off point for a new era, slowed and began to erode.

Pac & BIG are beefing.

Big is pumping up wack ass lil Kim & junior mafia. And the king fish clown of the ages, Puffy is FEELING himself and trying his best to replace Pete Rock as the adlib king.

Pac drops a chest thumping, over the top album that went 180 degrees from the introspective and paranoid brilliance heFINALLY committed to wax the year before on the haunting yet hopeful MATW .....and dumbos ate it up.

Wack ass foxy brown emerges who along with Kim truly sparks the video ho renaissance

Nas drops the ball and sell out.....people eat it up

The goofy ass fugees somehow become HUGE

Jeru, Keith Murray, Mobb Deep, Tribe all drop albums that aren't as good as the ones that preceded them.

Even Ironman didn't seem to be on par with the previous Wu solos at first....I've since changed my mind here.

M.O.P & Preemo didn't hit the grand slam intended with firing squad and IMO some of the MOP mojo from to the death was compromised


fukking Ice Cube became an absolute buffoon and went from a guy who was once the best to completely unlistenable


De La were grumpy rightfully so.


The boot camp Clik were eschewing "Da sweetminerz" to quote Rock in favor of dudes from ebbit's field with keyboards.


The only true positive surprises were reasonable doubt & ATLiens. The Roots managed to top their previous work as well but historically no one ever truly cares about them.



Everything was just a few notches worse and in some instances, notably Nas and Pac, significantly worse.


Let the anger wash your tears wayward son.

Fair enough. I agree with all of this outside of Hell On Earth being subpar. You also are a bit harsh on a dude, Nas, for wanting to not be broke anymore. You like money don't you? Besides that, good job, Brother Mel
