cash money is the most over rated thing ever....outside of back that ass up the album is fukkin horrible
and it holds one of the worst jay z verses of all time
you always have the whitest opinions ever.
Didn't read the whole thread. This album had an immensely negative impact on hip hop in that it set the template for how many rappers structured their albums after it was released. Songs modeled on sounds from other regions, double time flow, R&B songs, blatant crossover pop songs, few joints from Primo, few other hardbody joints.
Thing was, BIG was skilled and versatile enough to pull it off.
Name one wack verse on the album?
We really gonna act like Ni**az Bleed and I Got A Story To Tell aren't both top 25 all time in terms of storytelling?
We gonna act like he didn't kill it with the double time flow?
Sure - some of the beats trended too commercial. The album isn't flawless. But in terms of overall quality and impact, I don't see the argument that the album isn't classic.
If this album isn't classic - what is?

Ppl r playing records from it 16 years after its release n will continue to do it years from now and it's NOT a classic? 
Agreed.
Hate most of that production.

The entire feel of the album is subpar
Reminds me of Vol. 2 in that sense.

17th Anniversary Coming up this year and it's still being bitten and sampled in today market (See Drake and Kendrick last albums). Timeless album. I hope they release a 20th Anniversary addition in 3 years.
I feel it is classic, not only classic but one of the best among classics.
