This album is off tha chain. Some people are comparing this album to Nas's "Illmatic" and Mobb Deep's "Infamous". I wouldnt go that far, but this album is a possible classic, and almost certainly the best of the year so far.......
-
ain't he undergroud,, can't be the album of the year , plus i don't think he's able to make a classic album
-
Just cuz he underground dont mean he cant make a classic. Have you even heard the album?? Shit is PURE fire......Queensbridge hip hop at its finest.

yeah i know but undergrounds album r not so hot naww mean they not burnin any chart tho, see c-n-n... n i don't listen to qb artist much exept c-n-n, nas and some others
-
damn i gotta hear this.. any of u have links to this so i can peep it?
-
Just buy the album man. Its hot as fuck. People were hypin it up so much [saying its almost as good as The Infamous] I had doubts at first to, but I peeped it and now I see what they are talking about. I wouldnt say its on the same level as The Infamous, but its not too far behind. Its definatly a near classic, and could be a classic in due time.
Btw, I dont think this album is too underground, cuz its sold out almost everywhere [here in Cali at least]. Im still trying to find MY copy, lol. And thats saying something, cuz this is an east coast album.
-
yeah i heard it , it's not all that it's cracked up to be...it's tight but not ALL THAT ya know what i'm sayin
-
Yea I've had it for about two weeks, great album, not classic.
-
I guess I'll be copping that this week along with the eastsidaz.
-
I got that shit to and it's aight, but far far from being a CLASSIC. Peace.
-
it ain't CLASSIC...how can this be CLASSIC and not Chronic 2001?
-
Im sorry, but this album is MUCH better than 2001. This is RAW hip hop at its finest, not cliche songs about hoez and weed. And probably the best Queensbridge album since It Was Written. This album is a near-classic, 4.5 mics, and it may become a classic in due time......
-
well thats your choice...i give this album 3.5 or 4 whereas 5 to Dre... ;D 8) :) ;) :D ::) :P
-
Veteran, have you heard the album?? That shit is hot, pure and simple. Alot of heads are comparing this album to The Infamous and even Illmatic. While I wouldnt go that far, I can see why they would. The album is that raw street shit that the Queensbridge albums are known for, and with the state hip hop is in right now, this album is welcomed with open arms. This album could become a classic, as it may help turn hip hop around from its horrid state that its in right now. We'll see what happends... While 2001 is a good album to bump in your ride, it just cant touch Cormega's album. Listen to "Amercian Beauty", a story about hip hop and its evolution [portrayed metaphorically as a woman]. INCREDIBLE song. This album sounds like a newer version of The Infamous, but not quite as dark.

Dog, you're entitled to ur opinion but to me you're talkin' a whole bunch of nonsense. U'll be the ONLY person on the planet honestly thinking that Cormega's joint is actually "MUCH better" than Dre's "2001" (even in Queensbridge, and I live in Brooklyn so u can't tell me shit about NY rap). Plus, I don't even need to listen to it to say that: I just don't dig Mega like dat. His voice's wack and lyrically, he's just average to me, NOT on the skill level of a Nas or a Prodigy; he could box with Nature or Nore (who at least has his own style) but as for Capone, I'm not even too sure... So no, I WILL NOT cope his joint. Still, it may very well be a dope ass record with thorough beats and rhymes. Just don't go as far as saying "the best album since It was Written" (how about "Hell On Earth" or "Murda Muzik" ????) or "best album of the year" coz the year ain't over... Keep it real...

Riveria, im not the only one who is saying this is the best Queensbridge album since It Was Written. Almost EVERY east coast head is saying this album is PURE fire. For real listen to the album before you judge, otherwise your opinion holds no weight. I think you'll be surprised.......Go to any east coast board and see what people are saying about it. I have NO doubt in my mind that this album is better than 2001. 2001 is quite overrated on this board.
-
Hellrazor...Stop being so dumb...Your entitled to your opinion, but there aint NO fuccin way that this album is "Much Better" than '2001'...

yeah no fuckin way ;)
-
You havent even heard the album, so you cant judge. I HAVE heard the album, so I can judge.
-
most of the people here have listen it so, that's 2021 vs 1 that think this is a classic...it ain't my fault ;)
-
i own both albums and dre2001 is much better...MUCh
but hey maybe that's just my so called biast...so i took it to my friend skooter who's more of a eastcoast head than most backpackers in New York, we were relaxing sitting in his living room listening to the albums and this is what he said
man that cormega is some hottness one of the best albums of the year
me: do you think it's the best of the year
skooter: naw, ___ was better ( i don't know who the hell he was talking about) , outkast, and talib kweli's albums were better (even though kast came out last year)
me: oh, so what was the album of the year last year.
skooter: the chronic
me: what do you think was better 2001 or the realnexx
skooter: (ponders for a sec) 2001...the production was so much better and even though mega's lyrics were doper than dre's
me: dre ain't a lyracist
skooter: i know but even though mega's lyrics were better, 2001 was more of a refreshing , mega's was a typical...typical in a good way as in it was dope but it's just the typical of what you expect from a dope album, but 2001 was somthin' fresh and dope
me: yeah, that's a way to look at it
-
You havent even heard the album, so you cant judge. I HAVE heard the album, so I can judge.
How the fucc are you gunna tell me what the fucc I heard and what I don't own?! Your trippin dawg...I don't wanna have nothing to do with you anymore...You think your opinion is a fact, even when your opinion is out of the ordinary...Peace out!

Listen dog, ain't about East Coast/West Coast boards. Hip hop icons such as Pete Rock called "2001" classic on radio (Hot 97, NY) so what the fuck are you tellin' me? Again, I LIVE in BROOKLYN, NEW YORK and besides West Coast legends such as Dre, Snoop (+ the crew), Cube, Quik and a couple of others, I don't check West Coast Rap like that; in other words I KNOW my muthafuckin New York Hip Hop. I don't know ONE head here in NY who ever fronted on "2001" (and I've never been to L.A.). So yeah, like I said before, that Cormega joint may be DOPE but I doubt (like most in the know would) it can't be "MUCH better" than "2001" which is listed among the greatest Rap records ever. I listen to all the underground radio shows in NY and I ain't heard no fuckin' body talkin that classic shit about "The Realness". And how dare you compare this shit to "Illmatic" or "The Infamous"?? Fuck beats, lyrically a Super-Cormega COULDN'T go toe for toe against NAS or PRODIGY, (especially "Illmatic" era Nas). Now, as a concept, there's no way this album can retrace the grounds covered by "Illmatic" and "The Infamous" or even "Hell On Earth" without being somewhat repetitive. That's what REAL classic albums do: they fuck up whateva comes afterwards. And one last thing: there's a fuckin' difference between a dope album, a masterpiece and a CLASSIC record. What the fuck is "The Realness" changing in HIP-HOP? I could list you 20 things "2001" changed, especially when it comes to production (and I have magazine quotes from THE RZA and TIMBALAND plus props from DJ PREMIER, MARLEY MARL and PETE ROCK to back it up). So Cormega's "The Realness"? Another dope rap record, probably alongside Talib Kweli & Hi Tek's "Reflection Eternal (Train of Thought)" (and I'm not even too sure 'coz THAT shit is a masterpiece...) That's about it... Don't get it twisted... Still, I would defend an album I love like you do so it's all good...

Shits off tha chain, but it aint no classic, and i 2001 is definetly classic, just my opinion.
-
Riveria, im not the only one comparing this album to Illmatic or The Infamous. Go to the eastcoast boards, and almost any site that has reviewed the album. Maaaaaaaaad heads were comparing it to Illmatic and The Infamous before I even heard the album. And after hearing the album, I can see why. I wouldnt say its on the same level as Illmatic or The Infamous, but it aint too far behind........Believe me, im not the only one saying this shit. The people who are hyping it up are the reason I checked out the album in the first place. Shit is hot.
As for 2001, I dont consider it one of the greatest albums ever. And guess what?? Im BORN AND RAISED west coast. Ive lived in Cali for my entire 23 years, and I love west coast music, but 2001 is OVERRATED!!! I skip half the songs on it, thus I cant consider it classic. I hear people compare this album to The Chronic, and it sickens me. These two albums shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Thank you RivieraIII...
-
Hellrazor you really underate 2001. I don't understand why. I haven't heard cormega's album yet (I'm getting it this weekend) however I'm sure it's not "much better" than 2001.
-
Thank you RivieraIII...
Good lookin' dog... Real headz know the deal....
-
hellrazor your really need to check yourself, everyone including eastcoast heads know what's up with 2001, you act like your opinion is fact...and it's not, there are some albums i don't like but they're still classic...and theres album i really like alot more than those classics like the war disc by cube but i ain't gonna say the war disc is a classic, like you're jumping to the conclusion that the art of war was classic, cormega's album is tight but just becuase some board is comparing it to illmatic doesn't mean it's true we got people on this board talking about the eastsidaz being classic...just cuz they say it don't mean it's true

I dont hate the album, I just think its overrated. I dont consider it classic cuz of the number of songs that I skip on it. If you wanna think its a classic, I aint stopping you. Im basing my opinion on replay value, solidity, concept, and production. The production on it, at times, was actually brilliant, but at other times, it lacked. Dre doesnt even appear on a good portion of the songs, and though he doesnt write his own rhymes, id rather hear Dre spit on the album than a bunch of guest artists all the time. I was listening to Streetz Is A Motha today [Kurupt], and I like this album better than 2001.

I live in Queens N.Y. not too far from QB and everybody is saying that this album Mega's album is classic...I heard a bit of it and yeah it's pretty dope, but to call this album better than 2001 is nonsense...Mega's album just ain't on a level with the production on 2001 which is probably one of the top 5 best produced albums of all time...Mega's lyrics are light years ahead of what was on Dre's album but it ain't even in the top 10 lyrically best albums of all time...And No way it could touch Illmatic or It Was Written...Mega don't want it from Nas...LOL
