Shuda been a single disc album but thats the case with most double discs. im saying hit bc there was still alot of good music on there.

meet the parents was one of the best story telling songs of all time.

 

[5 Grand]

Wasn't Blueprint 2.1 better, or did that have duds too?

could've made a nice 1 disc album

 

[Broddie]

The most filler of any double disc rap album. Even the Blueprint 2.0 official one disc version was wack. It kept a lot of the filler.

I had a single disc version I made that started with Diamond is Forever but I haven't heard that shit in years. Should've never called this Blueprint 2. It's only saving grace is that Blueprint 3 was even worse, Auh!

 

[texas409]

hit barely but a hit

 

[BDBIID]

Some of my favorite hov records on this

[joeyfkncrakk]

BP2 is a classic if we going off today's standards

 

[natural born sinners]

Too many good songs to call it a miss. I remember thinking this would've a been a REALLY good single disc. Apparently everyone else did too. This shit had sooooo many fillers it almost felt like Jay was forced into making this a double disc."did it my way" a hov classic

 

[Juttythe3rd]

it has Hovi baby so that makes it a hit to me

 

[victory_kid]

BP2 is a classic if we going off today's standards

So with that logic, you are basically saying a bunch of subpar/pretty good albums during that era are very great/epic albums now...

right? lol.

Good music is good music, no matter the climate.

STFU Bama

 

[THE_R_]

I THOUGHT THIS WAS COOL WHEN IT DROPPED BUT FROM HINDSIGHT, I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS SOME SHIT HE SLAPPED TOGETHER & DROPPED FOR NO REASON.

FORGETTABLE ALBUM.

 

[DarthRozay]

crazy that this was in between 2 dope solo Jay albums, Blueprint and Black Album

 

[Broddie]

I found my copy. This thread inspired me to revisit it even though it's not the full album. Haven't heard it in years.

This my sequence:
