    Illmatic didn't have a lasting effect, after 7 day theory, there were 2pac alive rumors

    I'm leading the league in at least six statistical categories right now:
    Best flow, most consistent, realest stories
    Most charisma, I set the most trends
    And my interviews are hotter
    Holla!

    shhh were not supposed to tell them that!

    also Eternal Sunshine is a good movie, i think that the story's really unique. Probs one of the best Jim Carrey movies too

    I do agree 7 Day is better, I don't think this is a good argument for it however

    People need to understand BIG only released two records but they're both debateable GOAT records.

    The amount of highs on LAD may be more than any other rap record ever...so don't give me that 'filler' bs. It's balanced out and more.

    Jay is a better rapper than Big but Big died so it's hard to quantify how much Big would have improved

    Nobody from my generation wants to here that dusty a--- boom bap s---, in fact I think oldheads forced upon everyone this "essential" top 5 that has albums that have little impact, and have gotten worse with time because you know the 90's

    I personally like 7 day theory better than Illmaic. It's my favorite Pac record but I will admit part of that is because it's posthumously released, in that the entire album is very eerie and dark, so it sort of enhances the album for me.

    G-Herbo was influenced by Illmatic. But yeah, I get what ur saying. We dont wanna hear old s--- like that. Same way a lot of people don't rock with the 80s like that.

    this mentality is just as bad as the dusthead mentality. you're also wrong, but I'm gonna give you a break since you were born after the blueprint came out.

    I just want everyone to know I'm fairly certain @COLLEGROVE mention in another thread he's never listened to BIG's albums because he's young and doesn't listen to any old (90s) music. So there's no point in debating him he doesn't have enough experience in the genre
