Ain't no album with 'Another' and 'Nasty Boy' on it a 10 mic album.:huhldup:
All Eyez On Me was just as versatile and accomplished the same thing LAD did a year earlier, and it has flaws as well

Songs like Another and Nasty Boy have a much more commercial sound and are a lot more glossy but songs work. Biggie doesn't sound out of pocket on those records. The way he shifted from those records to the much more dark and non commercial records so effortlessly was astounding

I don't buy Rae not fukking with RZA's beats after Forever. Yea I can believe he wasn't fukking with Bobby Digital shyt but RZA was literally working on the Ghost Dog soundtrack at the same time. Is anyone gonna argue that movie/soundtrack had bad beats? There were dope RZA beats to be had, and Rae could have simply gone through a CD full of them if he wanted and picked the bangers himself. I think the bigger issue was that he didn't want RZA being involved in the $$$. Paying for beats, taking publishing, etc. Because Rae is a dude who holds grudges and gets bitter over stuff. That's just my opinion tho.

You smoking some good shyt. You gotta plug me in.

@Love Bizarre schooling you.

And I always find it funny when Rae tries to shyt on RZA on the management and on the musical side of things. Rae is a horrible manager of artists (he's failed badly with every artist that's been under him) and his best albums are the ones that RZA had a big hand in. :mjlol: at him saying that Wu Forever ain't classic when he's called Lex Diamond Story and Immobilarity classic. nikkas in here agreeing with Rae bullshyt is wildin.

Hold up.. That nikkah called that weak azz Lex Diamonds story shyt a classic?

EVERYBODY shyts on the Lex Diamonds Story album and I'll be completely honest...it might be warranted because I don't really remember a damn thing from it :dead:

The joint about the missiing watch, Smith Bros (mainly because I thought Ghost and Trife rocked the beat better at the time), and that song The Hood that got a little burn on Rap City

Other than that...I couldn't tell you how the album sounded :pachaha:
