    Few weeks ago, still a classic

    If an album put me on a certain period and still sounds like that period, i dont take the "aged bad" argument into consideration

    I have always said i dont think its healthy for albums to "age well"

    I feel like there's a difference in sounding of its era and aging badly

    Aging badly as in 'maybe this passed for the time and was fine then, but now isn't up to snuff'

    A lot of classic rap sounds old without 'aging badly', in a sense. MMLP for example

    I listened to mmlp as well which came out like a year later (?) and it sounded light years fresher and better produced/rapped

    Just my opinion

    I was about to tell you to shut your f---ing face... until I remembered listening last week passing through almost every track. I kind of agree. In its time it was def worth the rotations.

    Ps agree w @SliK


    MMLP waaay better

    Thanks for looking at this objectively and realizing I actually have fair criticisms and even said the album had some good tracks...

    Easily

    He was sooo d--- edgey and stood out soo much in his time that makes this an automatic classic among other great albums. But as far as the two... I prefer MMLP. But when SSLP dropped.. d--- great day

    Don't agree but I never realised, until recently, how terrible the hook on If I Had is.
