In your opinion what do you think are the most overrated albums you've ever heard?

These ones here IMO are all great albums but not deserving of the 5 mic classic status some heads be givin them...

GZA - Liquid Swords
Kanye West - College Dropout
50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Tryin'
Scarface - The Fix
2Pac - All Eyez On Me

To me these are all 4.5 mic'ers.

Had too many skippable songs for it to be bigged up like people do.

I can respect that, but that is one of the last dope lyrical albums in my opinion...

2Pac-All Eyez On Me...In my opinion, this has to be the most overrated album in hiphop history..Disc 1 is a classic by all means, but Disc 2 is full of filler tracks, irrelevant tracks, and just plain out garbage!..

Outkast-Stankonia...Outkast is my favorite group of all time, but this is their worst album BY FAR...

The Firm Album...In my opinion, between 1996 & 1998 were Dr.Dre's worst years as a producer...Anything he produced was CATSHIT between these years(with the exception of PHONE TAP...)..Some decent tracks, but overall, a waste of time...

Jay-Z-Volume 3...This is Jay's WORST album by far in my opinion...Too many party tracks, too many filler tracks...The bonus tracks were CATSHIT..Just a plain awful album....

Any Method Man Solo Album... mellow.gif ...If Meth does not have someone rhyming with him, you are wasting your valuable time listening to this ASSCLOWN..

Every DMX album after It's Dark And Hell Its Hot....No Comment mellow.gif

i cant believe no one said the second chroinc..i didnt like that shit disapointed me after listenin to the first one all the time......


Jae Stylez
I've been sayin that shit lil Dre dickriders like it that shit was trash to me,shit had 4 good tracks.
jayhustler
ya'll crazy.....
SIN-cere
The Masscare---the album was solid but I just didnt like it that much...I'll give 4 mics...so it dont seem like I'm hating...But Overated..Hence 3.5mics!

Others---All eyes on me...Classsic tupac albums becasue it had hits on it...But tupac said it himself...It not all that...Makeveli was Way better..

Life and time of Shawn Carter...Vol III> Had a few hard hitters on there but was water down album....

Ya'll loco for thinking All Eyez On Me is over rated

To me one album sticks out as over rated : Nas -Stillmatic....I only bought it to hear his responce to the Take Over ....I should have just downloaded it cause that LP blew

I like All eyes on Me...but it wasnt a classic musically....Even tupac said it..Direct quote. "I know my last album wasn't all that"...It was nice but not a classic musically like everyone says....Compare it to Makaveli or Me Agaisnt the World...Weak....In comparrison....

And Stillmatic was not overrated...Come on! But to each it own....I respect your opinion...

Liquid Swords not a classic? Homie you tripping son. that shit is the Wu-est of all wu solos, only shit beating that is OB4CL. Top to bottom that album is a classic.

and All Eyez On Me is a 3.5 mic album.


@ Jae, Wu Forever is a 4.5 mic album son. The first disc is average? GTFOH. bullshit the first disc is flawless. the second disc is teh fuck upos, but Triumph, Reunited, For Heavens Sake, Older Gods are average. wtf kinda X are you on son.


and Stillmatic is a very good album, 4.5 almost a classic if it didnt have those weak tracks on there. The whole album is solid. smh

Son you are a blind illiterate moron I never said nothing about which disk was good and which was'nt and it was over rated not 5 mics as most people claim so please read before you type mellow.gif it helps
mr jiffo
jayhustler, do you feel good writing "catshit" in big letters??


@ mic, i disagree with forever having a flawless first disc....."maria" was kinda weak = one flaw already smile.gif

for some reason, some of the beats dont appeal to me either....but thats more of a personal thing

i can read and u rated that joint as average. yo that album was bananas for the first disc. it isnt a classic cus they fucked it all up on teh second one( there's only like 4 good tracks on it excluding Truimph) but saying its average is a little too low yo.

@ Jiffo, but that shit was kinda hot tho. and what beats werent you feeling cus the beats were staright IMO

@Tweeze, go kill yourself please. Thats another person saying Ready To Die is ovverated, next thing you gonna see is niggas popping shit like "All Eyz On Me is better then Paid In Full". dry.gif
