    Honestly I'll take this as a compliment.

    I have to deal with confrontations and discussions at work on a daily basis. And in 90% of the cases both sides are right in their own way because they look at things from different perspectives. Of course I will agree with one side more but if I try to place myself into the other I can see what they mean.

    I honestly think that reflects my posting as well. More people said that I 'avoid' confrontations and try to please everyone but that's not the the case at all. I truly believe that everyone looks at things based on their own experience/view and I try to respect that as much as possible. To an extent obviously lol.

    But yeah call me passive agressive or whatever, I don't feel like arguing opinions acting like mine means more than others. Discussing, fine. Arguing, I don't feel like that at all.

    Imagine thinking 808s is a classic but The Documentary isn't.

    808s is not a classic


    It amazes me how some people tend to be revisionists on The Documentary though. Literally the definition of a classic.

    I was never huge on documentary, I honestly have always liked doctors advocate more. But the older I got and the more I diversified my tastes the less I liked game. Honestly doc 2/2.5 > > > doc 1

    Also I was speaking to influence there. 808s is unarguably more influential than the documentary regardless of how much you like either album.

    Especially the latter. It was the Dre show featuring Game. Maybe I'm taking too much credit away from Game saying this but most of his albums after that (which didn't involve Dre production) are meh to me.
