I know the world we live in today if filled with people who declare an album a CLASSIC or complete GARBAGE the second it leaks or during it's first week of release. So who's willing to admit after some time went by that they either overrated or underrated an album once all the hype died down.
Underrated:
To keep it simple I just flat out felt like this album wasn't as HARD as TM101 and Jeezy sold out with some of the mainstream singles (Go Getta and Dreamin') but years went by and I popped this in and realized this joint bangs nearly as hard as TM101 did.
Overrated:
Sure the lyrics are there but a lot of the content on the album seemed repetitive to me. Beats were extra stale even though he FINALLY stepped outside the box and worked with new producers, I gave him the benefit of the doubt cuz it was Eminem. Looking back I prefer Relapse to this by far.
Some other albums I underrated
BP3 - a ton of yall claim this album as being Jay-Z's worst, I don't see that at all
Ludacris - Release Therapy: yall hate any and everything Ludacris on here
Snoop Dogg - Tha Blue Carpet Treatment: basically if it ain't Doggystyle Snoop gets NO credit for his good work, I overlooked this
Rich Boy: I hated his delivery at first but it took me a while to actually give him a chance, he said some real stuff on that album
Others I overrated
Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead: looking back at it this album sucked, there's probably maybe 1 song I still listen to til this day off this album. I hyped it when it came out though
Wiz - Kush and OJ: maybe it because I never listened to him before this mixtape but while still good it's not better than Flight School, especially content wise
(yall gonna kill me for this) OB4CL2: just don't have replay value to me
