Yup. Not a classic....but it was worth the 15 bucks IMO.
Better question: BP3 or Loso's Way?

How so? Loso's way was not that bad......and BP3 is not a classic.

Never felt Loso's Way. BP3 isnt flawless but its replay value is way better than LW. They are not on the same level in my opinion but maybe someone elsefeels different

Just picked up the Collector's Edition and BP3. (Along with floor seats to the Seattle show and plane tickets home for the show on the 17th!)
Diggin' BP3 so far. Somethin' different. I'm also a sucker for instrumentals...

BP3 doesn't and can't touch Reasonable Doubt and BP1. It has a few good tracks, but let's not give Jay 5 mics just because he's Jay. His flowis too sing-songy for me.... not what I was expecting. Real mainstream if you ask me. Just my opinion... flame on.

For my Toronto ppl, who knows where i can get a copy?
Went to 3 HMV'S, 2 Sunrise Records and Play De Record downtown, and none had any.
They all said September 11....
Didn't have time to go to Best Buy or Future Shop.
If anyone in Toronto can tell me where they got there copy of BP3 it would be much appreciated.

I just understand if people like the sound on this album, but honestly, aside from "Thank You", and "Already Home" there really wasn'ta single time where his lyrics or wordplay impressed me. Like I know y'all have listened to Jay's whole catalogue, can any of y'all honestly sayhis lyricism on this album is anywhere close to being par with his other good albums. Just because Jay made a CD don't mean that !@!@ have to be good.

its not a GREAT album, but its still VERY GOOD.
This isnt a RD , but it def aint KC either.
Why does something have to be TRASH/WACK if its not an INSTANT CLASSIC.???

IMO
I like 11/15 tracks.
That's 73% of the album.
73% of 5 = 3.65
Album is a 3.5/5 to me. That's fair. Was hoping for a 4.5+
Funny thing is, I like 10/14 tracks off KC.... Same rating.

You want BP, BA, BP2, RD, etc lyricism go back and listen to them. Sure it's a subpar album for Jay....but it's still a good album. You clearly didn't listen to Run This Town....because the references were prettyworthy. Nor venus vs mars....pretty slick wordplay. The reason half of the people on here get disappointed by albums....is because they go in expecting a classic everytime. When it's just not gonna happen. Heck how many classic albums have come out in the last 5 years? Like 10? That's not a high number and it shows the lunacy of constantly expecting a classic.
see this is why J has become like Mike. BP3 feels like Jordan on the Wizards. You were expecting greatness, but he delivered 20 points a game (still good, butnothing near MVP)... You can't set the precedent as one of the G.O.A.T and expect people not to look for a classic everytime you spit.

I'm saying though...who listening to $+%% like reasonable doubt at 8 years old.
But I knew all the words to Hypnotize though...
So you were 12 years old and understood BP1 though?

I'm not saying you have to have jaw-dropping lyricism... I love Pac and Pac's wordplay wasn't very good at all, but I don't find any of thesetracks to be very reflective or meangingful. A lot of repetitive stuff he had talked about on other albums and stuff. To me it's in the KC range, maybe alittle bit worse, but better than Vol.3

Love the CD.
Off topic: How come there haven't been any new Hov freestyles? Usually he drops at least 1 around the time of a new release.
