Puffy get a lot of hate, but No Way Out was a classic record

[MediumL]

nah not a classic. Same way Harlem World isnt a classic. Looking back they were  good albums. But we're looking from the perspective of 2010 hip hop fans where having corny singles is the norm. Bakc then Mase didnt have to do the Love U So track or whaever that bs was.

[D-Nice]

It's a great compilation album

[doggfather]

No it isn't a classic

[KURUPTION-81]

I loved the vibe on this album, it got a lot of hate when it came out but on the whole is a great album.

[Muhfukka]

remember that this is coming from the confused muslim wigger who says damian marley is the best rapper alive

[BIGWORM]

WTF LOL....

[Lord Funk]

I listened to this album for the first time in years a few weeks ago.

Almost without exception, it sounded like complete shit.

[UCC]

I agree with what a couple of people have said already:

From today's perspective, it sounds pretty good, because most stuff today is such fuckshitballsassbollocks

But when it was released it was pretty mediocre, and it's definitely nowhere near as good as the golden era stuff

[Anunikke]

What's with people shitting on today's music?
I can name at least 10 albums from this year that are better then No Way Out.

[white Boy]

it defintately holds a place in my life, but recently relistening to it, except for the 4-5 BANGERS , a lot of weak ass track on there

People complaining about Puffy creating "hip-POP" or whatever, if you listen to the album it's not a lot of bullshit club and dance/ringtone type tunes like you hear today.  The overall tone of the album is actually cumbersome, brooding, and mourning the loss of Biggie.

No club and dance on there?

Hell if I remember correctly even now you can here 2-4 tracks from that album in the club. Now I agree that it is light years better than most of the stuff you here that is club friendly now, but for it's time it is what it is.

And really excluding the ending of the album, you can tell that Biggie's work was all over this album. He was the one that suggested it to Puff in the first place to rap.

[Trip Dee]

Def had some classic songs, but overall Puffy is such a homo and it's hard to get over that when you hear him on the mic.  From his corny raps and adlibs, I just couldn't call it classic overall.

i second that...
