If you go 10 for 10 shooting layups, is that better than going 6 for 10 from the 3-point line?

You can argue it is and be right. You can argue it ain't and be right as well.


For me, there is a higher level of difficulty, creativity, artistry involved in It Was Written, as well as many other hip hop albums that I rate over Illmatic (think Outkast, Tribe...)

Illmatic is that 10 for 10 shooting layups. Its perfect...yes, but not difficult. Aquemini is difficult. Midnight Marauders is difficult.

Now depending on what you value in an album, you are gonna rank things differently. I wish people would be more upfront about their biases and why they rate things the way they do. I value lyrics vs I place more value in instrumentation...etc. I think it would expand the debate some...
