Lil Kim album is when I stopped to take the Source seriously:francis:


IMO an album doesn’t need to be 5 mics to be considered classic. 5 mics to me is flawless like Illmatic or Doggystyle for instance. I consider IWW to be classic but not 5 mics as it had its missteps.

If The Fix ain't a 5 mic classic, why? :gucci:
What was wack or weak on the album?

Every single song on the album was on point. Face's writing was great and the production was great.
Is it Face's best album? No
But to act like it ain't a classic album is some bullshyt.
Face's writing was a shell of it's former self. He tells no stories or goes in-depth with his deteriorating sanity like he usually does.



Nothing on The Fix is touching this joint alone.

It was a handpicked "classic" that didn't actually resonate with the people like that. And if you think I'm lying, check the stats:

Gold & Platinum - RIAA

Didn't even go gold despite this being his "classic" and "biggest album" (marketing/promo-wise anyway) :hubie:

I haven't even heard it but I know in my heart of hearts that Lil Kim album was not worth it :loldenzel2:


The Fix :hubie:


:gucci:

Really? The Fix is freaking amazing

I'm going with GKMC people hated Shyne for his opinion on it but i cant rock with it like that.

I always thought it was the best of Face’s solo albums because it was well rounded

GKMC didn’t get 5 mics, last album to get 5 mics was My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

The album wasn't as dark and in depth as Untouchable but the album wasn't no slouch either
The Fix was a lot lighter than his previous album but his songwriting and the production was still in tact
With The Fix, we got a more calmer and laid back Face, which also showed his evolution as an artist.

And for the record, I think The Untouchable is his best album followed by The Diary.
Face stepped his game up on The Untouchable album and really became a great lyricist on that album.

(And I agree with nothing on The Fix coming close to his song Faith on The Untouchable.)

Sales don't always translate over to how good or great or how classic an album is; sales don't always dictate an album's worth.
Cats of this era rely too much on stats to dictate if an album is a classic or great or good music.

Before Hip Hop went Pop and became the most popular genre, a lot of hip hop albums didn't sell a lot that are classic albums

I don't think it's his best but it is one of his best

I would say The Untouchable is his best, then The Diary, and then Mr. Scarface Is Back. Then I would say The Fix.
