As of my 9th listen T&Y is my favorite album ever. I don't see that changing unless I discover Lupe is secretly worshipping Satan throughout the album.

Illmatic is one of my favorites ever as well though.

the buck that bought the bottle could have struck the lotto :mjcry:

Prolly the worst bar in hip hop history as far as misguided advice. The fact you would quote this specific bar highlights the stupidity of naS stans.

Mural >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> illmatic :manny:

I wouldnt say that Mural is better than IWW by itself though.

I just cant grasp how anyone finds illmatic... good :manny:

to be fair "2nd Childhood" >>>>>> illmatic
"Book of Rhymes" >>>>>> illmatic
"If I Ruled the World" >>>>>> illmatic

its just a poorly written and produced album

For a moment i though i needed to check out lupe album but i trust your judgement we have similar taste in hip hop.

Tek, it's a good album. But NOOOOOOOO where near as great as his stans are trying to paint it as. His cryptic, abstract rhymes just aren't that enjoyable to me and there's nothing outside of Mural that I think I'll be revisiting often. I'd say it's a 3.5/5 album. Definitely worth a listen, but it's deification in the Tetsuo thread is unbelievably silly.

There's not a bad song on illmatic breh. Every single one of them is very good or great. You Big Mel status on the Nas hate tip.

You may not think it's better than Illmatic but you would have to be a diehard hater to not like that album breh. Literally would have go out of your way. Do you, but if you do decide to listen to it, go into it without any preconceived notions positive or negative.

These Lupe stans are funny. Lupe's new album came out about a week ago and it's already "his best album". Let that shyt breathe. I know you been starving for some new music from him but your behaviour is getting ridiculous.

Some of my favourite albums weren't even my favourite albums at first. I really had to let them shyts sink in before I could appreciate what was on the tracklist

I respect your opinion spliz, but I don't think the albums that great. I listened 3 times and just don't see the hoopla. I prefer both GKMC and MDBTF over Tetsuo, by a good amount. Both are very enjoyable albums that I revisit often.
