"Kick in the Door and Long Kiss Goodnight" aren't special Lyrically? I've heard it all now. SMH.
. "Hypnotize" is a Classic song how is not "Stellar"? "I love the Dough" is weak now? Like I said, dudes are reaching. The album doesn't flow well? Really?.

now, in defense of this FOUR-mic album, i dont understand the dislike for "playa hater" in here. its not a real song.
either you find it amusing or you just skip the skit.
i loved it.

"I don't like it that much" and "it's not a classic" are two totally, totally different things.
It's when you take that opinion of not thinking highly of it and try to act like that opinion represents what that album itself means to EVERYONE that it gets contested.
Look at it like this: What if I LOVED MC Hammer's album with Pumps & A Bump on it? And I thought that every song on that shyt was rockin'? So then I say 'Yo The Funky Headhunter' is a classic!' like that's some kinda fact or even a popular opinion. I'd prob. catch a bunch of
and 
, not because my opinion is wrong, but because I made such a broad statement to call something so forgotten and widely considered wack... a classic. This is what it's like when nikkas pinpoint albums that are already cemented, YEARS after the fact and try to discredit what's already been made clear.

LOL, If polled every rap fan a majority would say it's Classic, if you polled every Rapper 95% of them would call it classic. LOL @ Dudes lying to themselves, the only one lying to themselves are the ones trying to act like the album ain't already established as Classic. It's too late, 15 years later the album been copied, sampled the whole 9. Again your personal opinion can't change what a particular piece of art achieve. You can call Thriller Wack that doesn't mean it's not Classic. You can say The Godfather was boring, don't change it's classic status and you can say "Life After Death" I didn't get pleasure from it. Fine, that's on you but that doesn't change it's Classic Status.
Wow this thing was heavy rotation back in 97 your insane. Grammar school that is all my classmates played in their boombox cassette decks

The day Big died was one of the worst days ever.I remember it like yesterday woke up that sunday mornin my boy who was a pac stan called me up rejoicing tellin me big got killed in l.a. early that morning.I couldn't believe it turned on the radio they were playing big poppa and when the song went off the dj said the news.
Hip Hop took a mean blow that day.2 weeks later the greatest double album and one of the best albums of all time was released.I copped it 1st day (the double cassette Lmao) grabbed a bag of weed and went to my nikka crib and we said no fast forwarding or rewinding no nothin we gonna play it through and as soon kick in the door came on I was like Fukk that I had to hear it again that song is dope as fukk to me.Then when notorious thugs came on we were was like
after we heard my downfall,long kiss goodnight and you're nobody til somebody kills you back to back to back I was like 
Music is subjective maybe cuz I came up in that 90's era the album means more to me.It's a classic album to me everytime I play it I think of 97.Then puff dropped no way out that summer wit the new big verses on victory,Young G's and all about the benjamins.

people call "life after death" overrated everyday b. lets not act like the overwhelming majority holds this album in high regard.
the majority? yes. but not the overwhelming majority. and lets be real, most of the people that hold this album up as goat material are just following the crowd. this is a cliche pick. basically the pre-cursor to "get rich or die tryin". only difference is, 50 didnt die, so theres nothings stopping people from souring on the album.
i used to force myself to say that LAD is a classic because i felt like i was supposed to say that chit. the idea of it being classic was engraved in me before the album even dropped. had to grow out of that.
chill will. yall need to stop buggin. its not just about me personally not liking the album. i dont operate like that. im a classic nicca dammit. if that were the case, i would leave it at being a personal thing. but its not. theres tons of people who share the exact same sentiments. this album is heavily disputed homeboy!
how many times are you gonna keep talking about the album being sampled? i ask you again, how is this album sampled like crazy when most of the tracks are samples themselves?
ignoring peoples rebuttals just so that you can rehash the same posts a few pages later? thats that chit i dont like.
and where are all these songs that sampled LAD at anyway?
a bunch of kids following the crowd.of course it ruled the grammar schools. most of the songs on the album dominated radio playlists throughout the entire spring & summer, along with the rest of bad boy's payola tracks.
its only right that the kids had it in heavy rotation. and most of them had never even carried 30 bucks in their pocket, and didnt buy the chit. at least not with their own money.
