Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life doesnt deserve the hate it gets. The album is a classic.

[Thegospel]

Paper Chase is dope

Album was overrated if anything when it came out, but i still fukked with it

How has Just A Week Ago not been mentioned? Best joint on there

Easily a top 5 song of his.

 

[the cac mamba]

Jay z is criminally underrated on this site

 

[Olu Dara]

Before I self destruct was dope when it dropped

No it wasn't

 

[MiC]

Before I self destruct was dope when it dropped

It was trash then and it's trash now. Bunch of growling on trash, shytty flow, played out lyrics, weak beats.

A guy coming here praising that trash but knocking vol 2 can't be taken seriously

 

[infamousred]

thought these 2 were easily the best tracks:

 

[nieman]

2nd best jay album after reasonable doubt.

i still dont mess with "can i get a" tho, except for the jarule verse.




nah. it followed the trend.

no limit started it.




deadbeat rap fans. thats who.

this album stays getting disrespected on the net.

I mean the formula that plagued the industry up to the mid-2000s with the "hot producer X" on 3 tracks, the street track posse cut, the squad track, the club track, for the women, hot chick X on 1 track, and the down south track lol

You could say No limit copied death row with that "feature album" shyt

Chronic
Doggy style
All eyes on me etc

ehh, those albums werent as feature-heavy. plus AEOM was a double and the chronic was more of a producer release.

besides, regardless of who started it, no limit are the ones responsible for making it trendy.

well if thats what you meant, then i could see that. altho, "life after death" birthed it.

Vol. 2 had hit records that were blanketed by filler out dated records..but that's just me

 

[Taadow]

How can anybody say this albums trash?

...this is the problem here. Just because it isn't "trash" doesn't mean it's a "classic".

It was coo'.

 

[havoc]

Album is filled with hot bangers. I still bump the record till this day.

 

[Julius Skrrvin]

Dope album. Not really introspective or lyrical but it goes super hard and strikes the perfect balance betw een street and pop. 6th best album of his

nah ur the mad one negging over opinions lol

 

[ExodusNirvana]

If I Should Die is probably the only track on that album that I don't like...I remember being in like 8th grade when this dropped and everyone copped, everyone bumped, all you heard that summer was this album and X album
