Dudes does his own thing and his cv speaks for itself.I think you're misunderstanding my point. I'm not saying Nas needs to spit like Em at all, what I was saying was that I think some of the people who say that the MMLP isn't a classic would be bouncing off walls if it was a Nas album, because no matter how crazy Em gets with his lyrical ability some people are never gonna give him real credit.Oh right i see what you're saying now. I don't agree however, i think alot of people give eminem extra credit for being white and being able to rap and most of his white audience like his shit regardless if its dope or not, its like he is given a pass for anything alot of the time. I dont want this to end up being a 'skin tone' talk because that shits boring but most niggaz i know think MMLP is eminems best album myself included. Whether its a classic or not, i dont know, i can understand people saying it is aswell as people saying its not. Sort of like stillmatic/blueprint etc. Thats how i see it. Personally i like MMLP, my favourite eminem album.If nas spit the shit eminem did on MMLP, i think alot less people would have noticed it imo. pz

Man this thread reminds me how much BULLSHIT music is out right now. Nah there is still good music out there, just harder to find at times.
For me a classic is an album you can throw on 5 years after its out and listen to the album all the way through and not skip a song because they are all dope
Life after death,blueprint and black album,2001.None of those were classic.For me a classic is an album you can throw on 5 years after its out and listen to the album all the way through and not skip a song because they are all dope.I don't know how anyone could call life after death classic.Ready to die is a classic.But life after death could easily have been one CD.

Nah there is still good music out there, just harder to find at times.^^^For real and props to kaiser, that was dope talk.As for stan, thats one of eminems greatest moments, both in terms of mixing creativity/story telling etc and making dope music, even the hook from...umm...dido? was dope, that was eminem at his best back then. Dude was angry, he wanted to be rich etc and when he got it, he didnt appreciate it, was getting sued from everywhere, sudddenly he was open to both love and criticism, for the first time ever he was being hated on for no reason by people...basically getting hate and groupies and all...end result was joints like stan, the way i am, the "the i never knew i would get so rich" joint etc, dude was so angry lol basically a black youth back then lol, i cant hate on eminem. I just think he started switching with eminem show but he stilll had moments of greatness on that album and 8mile ost.And yeh D-nice...2nd childhood = 5/5 joint ;-) and subject matter is big hahapz!

If some new artist was to bring out an album spitting like Biggie did on Life After Death with his flow and lyrics, people would be saying that dude was bringing back hip hop. The thing is that people were used to Biggie dropping fire, so they don't treat Life After Death as anything special. I agree that it could probably have been 1 CD but like I said, the album was aimed at being more universal, and it succeeded in being a crossover success. Biggie was proving how versatile he was on lots of different types of tracks while still remaining dope as fuck. While all the tracks that you liked on the album may be fit in to one CD, other fans will like every track. Because of how universal the album is, every fan with a different taste is going to view each of the tracks differently.
Theirs no rule that an artist has to make a long album these days its their choice.Lots of album still drop today that are only 12 songs.
