Life After Death vs. The Blueprint

[buttuh_b]

And I disagree with your statement that all Slick Rick's music after his first album are forgettable. The Great Adventures of Slick Rick >>> Ready to Die too

Without google how many albums did he drop and name them. Go.

Fuck I need google for? I'm a Ricky D fan. The Ruler's Back, Behind Bars, Art of Storytelling and he got several classic features too

That whole talk about life after death or even 7 day theory being hyped cause their deaths are weak. If it was true, the hype would've been dead or atleast dying but yet 20 years later they still as acclaimed as they first were

I didn't see any hype for Easy E's 1996 album and that was after he died, Yeah Baby by Pun got no hype, Big L's album, Proof's album, Pimp C's album. But let them tell it, Life After Death was only critically acclaimed because he died.

Yea, but big and pac played out like a soap opera. That was a wild time. No other deaths in hip hop was met with so much drama. I ain't even know pun was dead for a few days, when big got hit, no internet, no social media. I knew the same night. It was like when pac died, you just knew big was on borrowed time. It was in the air. You just knew. Crazy, crazy time, that explains the hype. The two albums are still super nice regardless.

 

[Antwuan89]

Ready to Die is top 3 album ever.

 

[natural born sinners]

I thought bout picking life after death song wise, but jay's album was more cohesive and had NO fillers. Could listen to it without skipping a track, can't say that bout LAD

LAD had some better songs, but i had to skip a few tracks whenever I played it. Of course LAD being a double disc was a major factor in the filler tracks being used.

Fuck it ill say it Blueprint might be the best hip hop album out since it's release. Any thoughts?

 

[5 Grand]

Did Blueprint have any skits?

Thats what ruined Life After Death. It wasn't a lot of skits, but it would have been better with zero skits imo.

I still voted for Big though.

If Life After Death was mediocre or solid at best, no amount of east/west drama or death would catapult LAD to the status it has today (despite some of you niggas trying y'all hardest to discredit Big's legacy) Snoop was also a big part of the east/west feud and that drama didn't elevate the Doggfather album at all.

Snoop is still alive, and snoop was an also-ran ass nigga in that beef. When pac came, snoop got his tall ass put in the back seat. When snoop's album dropped niggas still thought pac was alive lol, we was still tryin to figure out that "suge shot me" shit, wasn't nobody thinkin bout snoop. I was actually agreeing with you for real tho. But their deaths and the nature of them and what surrounded them is what led to the hype, but even if there was no hype, those albums are still certified in my book.

Snoop was a big name at the time. Snoop went on stage at the Source Awards and gave his famous speech, Snoop got his trailer shot up on the set of NY, NY. Snoop famously kicking down NYC buildings. It's quite ignorant to say Snoop was an also ran ass nigga in the beef. Dre, Suge and Puff are alive today so does that make them also ran niggas in the beef too?

In the country's eye, yes. Shit was all about, big, pac, puff, and suge. The headlines belonged to those 4. Everybody else was collateral. Snoop coulda dropped illmatic and it wouldn't have made noise like that. Tupac's death had the world fascinated. BIG's album got hyped anyway, but it was as got much more recognition behind his death. Had nothing to do with the quality, had he lived, I'm pretty sure I would hold it at the same level, I listened to long kiss goodnight as I typed the last post, his flow was disgusting, no beef could add or subtract from that fact.

We not talking about the same country then. The major players in the beef were Pac, Biggie, Puffy, Suge, Dre and Snoop. Those were the major players, then you had the minor players like Doggpound, Mobb Deep, Nas and Jay Z.

The Fugees sold 6X Platinum in 1996

Will Smith sold 9X Platinum in 1997

The Fugees and Will Smith were outselling Pac and Big so its revisionist history to say it was all about Puff, Suge, Big and Pac.

 

[nex gin]

Both are great albums, but LAD >>>

Disagree with Dre at the height of the beef he was on it was written calling the beef bullshit and saying lets get this money and Pac was on Makaveli saying this is California love pt 2 without gay ass Dre, I would call him a minor player he was just there making good music

Fugees was on another level, and though it was hip hop, it was just, another place, sorta like drake. They had textbook crossovers hits, Ms hill took them to another stratosphere. Will smith was hip hop, but he wasn't selling records because he was dope. It's like askin who came up the most out the hood, then including your cousin that went to college and became a hedge fund manager. He's from out here, but he ain't blow up the same as we did. When it came to east and west, and traditional hip hop, pac and big was carryin the show in 96, mostly pac. For the love of god, if I have to say the quality of the albums was seperate from the hype one more time..... It contributed to initial sales, but the quality held its own despite the drama.
