Ready to Die

The "standout" cuts on Ready to Die ("The What", "Warning", "Unbelievable") were on the same level as "forgotten" tracks on other classic albums (think of "One Time 4 Your Mind" from Illmatic and "7th Chamber" from Enter The Wu-Tang)


A lot of songs just weren't anything special ("Friend of Mine", "Me & My B----", etc.)

Blueprint, Illmatic, and Reasonable Doubt....easily, but it looks like most of yall agree with me.

fukk Nas and Jay both.

Edit: Blueprint is #1 tho....to me its outright boring trash, whereas the other 2 are good albums.

Ready to Die was given 4.5 mics by the Source in its original review...

As for the thread topic, I would have to say that the most overrated classic IMO is 'The Blueprint'

EDIT: fukk, how could I forget Eminem, any of his albums that are considered classics are easily the most overrated classics, IMO.

IMO Hov was the best rapper from like 1997 to 1999. Once Dynasty came out i began losing interest in his direction.

krs was still the best rapper in 97.
mos was the best rapper in 98.
jay was the best rapper in 99, easy.
