so you don't know what "wasn't critically acclaimed" means?

All Eyez on Me wasnt that good of an album. production carried it. you can replace AEOM with It was written, UGk Ridin dirty or De La Soul Stakes is High.

Dudes are wildin in here.
Who exactly was trying to sound like Jay in 97?
Puff and Mase looking the way they did had nothing to do with Jay and everything to do with Hype.
Outside of a couple of songs there was nothing shiny or pop about RD, Vol. 1 yes but not RD.
That album was slept on because he was trying too hard to sound like Big and Nas when they were in their prime. By 98 when Big was dead and Nas had fallen off it was easier for Jay to navigate that lane.

Please name 10 better. I don't agree those are the top 3 but two of those albums are for sure in the top 10.

Lyte was the truth, I wish The Lady of Rage had an actual catalogue because she was dope, but just not enough solo music.

which is why i keep typing "it wasn't critically acclaimed in 96...people thought it was too pop"
because, today, that sounds completely ridiculous...
listen to how rappers were rapping in 96
then listen to reasonable doubt.

Lol some of you guys find so many angles to hate on reasonable doubt. It wasn't critically acclaimed in 96. It didn't go platinum till 2000. Rd wasn't a classic till jay kept whining about it. Wasn't a top album in 96. too pop. Sit down

7 Day Theory was dope but Pac had a good 10-12 classic songs on All Eyez on Me. Def some filler but the standout tracks were amazing
