i never thought it was underrated. and it CERTAINELY aint a classic. people throw the term classic around too freely.
MATW = classic
7 day theory = classic
thats it. those are his only classic albums.
better dayz is average at best due to wack guest lyrics and mediocre beats.
here's my review
still ballin (didnt like at first but sounds raw)
when we ride on our enemies (og beat KILLS it, lyrics still listenable)
changed man (lol, sooo wack)
never b peace (og KILLS this due to the insane lyrics by storm and marvalos, enough said. this beat aint bad tho)
fuck em all (kinda raw, like it, no doubt og would have been sick)
street fame (og is classic and so is this but this wins out)
watcha gonna do (lol, cheap beat, OG MURDERS this, so does storm)
Fair Xchange (Jazze saves this album, og is better but this aint bad)
Late Nite (good but sounds out of place with all the remixes)
Ghetto Star (OG is classic and so is this)
Thugz Mansion acoustic (errr....skip. too bare and Nas? wtf?)
my block remix (cop the og)
thugz manison (lyrics are too deep, amazing)
never call u bitch (good)
better dayz (beautiful, isley rips it)
u can call (beat is nice, chorus is wack)
military minds (= og, both versions r good)
fame (classic imo)
fair x change (another 1? this one is wack tho)
catchin feelings (beat is sick, napoleon comes hard aswell)
there u go (another jazze phile productizzle, i like this man, very chilled out beat)
this life (og, enough said)
who do u believe (how many times this song been released lol?)
they dont give a fuck (nice, og production is nicer tho)
overall grade 84/100
with better beats, less guest appearances from randoms spitting wack choruses and verses, og outlaw lyrics and one single disc then maybe it could reach that classic status.
