it definately has some hot joints on there  but i dunno if i would go as far as to call it a classic....that word gets thrown around alot, back then i woulda figured in order for an album to be a classic u gotta be able to jam the album from front to back without skipping (shits gotta be that good)....which today is unheard of so nowadays my oppinion on a classic album is an album u could pretty much ALMOST jam front to back, maybe 1 or 2 skippers....now i stated in another thread that Monch's Desire is a classic to me becuz theres litterly only like 2 tracks i skip (love that album) since it came out i notice people shit on it cuz they wanted to hear Internal Affairs 2 but ppl gotta realize that that was like 8 years ago when that cd came out lol..face it, dudes style changed...as it would anyone else that hadnt released shit in 8 years....i like his new style  8)

I'd have to say it's a classic too.  Nice line-up.  I just don't like Puffy/Diddy/Puff Daddy whatever the fuck he calls himself now!

I can still bump No Way out, to this day, and am still not tired of it.

IMO, it's mos def a mid 90's east coast classic, it may not be everyones cup of tea, but it's still a classic none-the-less.

If you're honest with yourself, even if you don't like Puffy, you gotta admit that album was banging... I only skip the interludes, the filler tracks(aka non singles) were tight too. Victory still bangs hard, even the NIN remeix of Victory bangs. All About The Benjamins is still a hot song.

Been Around The World was the Sumemr Jam of 97 too, I'll never forget that summer...

And personally, I thought that album complimeted the Life After Death LP... and I think a few of us are forgetting just how big Bad Boy was at the time.

And one thing's for sure that album bangs a lot harder than 70% of the shit today, including all of Bad Boys new shit...

yea it has some fillers but look at all the monster singles from back in the day...

  2. Victory - (featuring The Notorious B.I.G./Busta Rhymes) 
 
  3. Been Around The World - (featuring The Notorious B.I.G./Mase) 
 
  10. It's All About The Benjamins - (remix, featuring The Notorious B.I.G./Lil' Kim/The Lox) 
 
  16. I'll Be Missing You - (featuring Faith Evans/112) 
 
  17. Can't Nobody Hold Me Down - (featuring Mase) 

Hmmm.  Its definitely a good album but I don't think it changed the game too much or had other's copying its style.  Classic if you are a Puffy fan or Puffy himself but not overall.  He held it down though.

Well, just because it didn't change the game or the fact that it had copies others style, doesn't mean it's not a classic.

For me, in the hip hop sense, classic means it summed up the feeling of hip hop at the moment. It was such a overwhelming success, if I recall, the biggest selling hip hop album of 1997 I believe.

It's like this for me: I don't think Get Rich Or Die Trying was personally my taste... but it's apparent it's a classic.

Point is, just because it's not really your taste or style, sometimes you can see the influence it has on everyone...

I grew up with the singles from that album and it was those songs that made me want more from Hip-Hop, so you know the album is special to me.Young G's has a fuckin' vicious Biggie verse, which just has to be mentioned when talking about that album.

Gotta give props to the last few posts cause I can agree with them, they're pretty accurate, especially the thing about this album kinda complimenting Life After Death.

And another thing, if a playlist with select songs from Life After Death and No Way Out was to be made=BANGING
