if he replaced Hola Hovito & Jigga That N**** with some hotter tracks, it would have been his greatest album

Black Album 5/5 > Blueprint 4.5/5

Most tracks on BP1 are played out, can't really say that for any other rap album. Only listen to "All I Need" & "Momma Loves Me" nowadays :manny:

Intro was one of Hov's worst

Overrated by todays standards but at the time it set a hip hop precedent and brought back a sound many people had 4gotten about. not overrated at all if anything slightly under appreciated.

The album is very good imo...Probably one of his top 2....

But it is overrated in certain aspects..

It's crazy watching how history gets rewritten by casual fans..

The whole "everyone is loopin the soul" line is hilarious seeing though Ye and Jay blatantly bit that off of Ghost and RZA..

Now people want to credit Blueprint for changing the sound of the era?

:deadmanny:

I agree that in hindsight the soul samples were lame & generic but that's only after we were beat over the head with them for 4 straight years.
