albums that are classic if "the blueprint" is.....

[TheSheriff]

Shit, NSync sold 20 million records.

Musically, are they the best set of artists ever?

[Last Dragon]

The way I see it is like this.

A lot of EastCoast sites say it's classic

A lot of Sight's were the majotity is the Underground and Backpackers have vast majorities where they say it's classic.

Westcoast sights seem to be split down the middle on the debate.

I say, in a few years heads will be talking about the BluePrint the same way they talk about Illmnatic.  Some will front now, but this album is a classic in every sense of the word.  If not, the the Source should make a 4.75 mic rating to quiet the heads that still want to front on this album.  Jay has delivered the first classic album of the century.  There'll always be people that front on it.  There are few people I know that front on Illmatic and AEOM.  But, Jay has given an album that is very soulful, lyrically perfect, and straight from heart.  Jay has pushed himself to the level of the elites with this album plian and simple.

So, we HAVE to like it?

And, personally, I think Firestarr, and then Black Trash, were the first classics of the year.

[Last Dragon]

I'm not saying you have to like it.  I'm saying I disagree with a lot of the opinions here.

[TheSheriff]

Opinions aren't right or wrong. So you can't disagree with them, per se; You can say that you don't share 'em, but not that you disagree, thus making it a case of right and wrong.

Okay here's what I have to say.
I agree the blueprint isn't classic. It's atleast a 4.5 though. Half or more than half of the albums you mentioned weren't classic. I think alot of you peeps are sleeping on this album. Besides Reasonable doubt this is jay at his best.

There is no way there should have been 40 or 50 classic albums to get 5 mics. If this was so then the 5 mics status doesn't mean anything. The problem is some people on this board are too quick to say something is a classic. (Dueces & Trays Classic? PLEASE)


And Jake made a good point about the standards of hip hop going down.

Whoever said Fredro Starr-Firestarr, Canibus-Can-I-Bus, and
Dr Dre Presents-Turn Off The Lights and The Aftermath are better then the Blueprint is a dickhead and has lost ALLLLLLLL credibility in my eyez.

[I TO DA GEEZY]

shit....i cant believe pipz wouild put jigga on tha same level they put dmx.....
