"So if I checked out on 'Bis after "Rip the Jacker","
did I miss anything? Straight up...I know folk feel a lot of different ways about dude. Was any of the stuff after "Rip" worth listening to in you guys' opinion. By the way...nice day yesterday. Put some time in on the bike. Threw on RTJ and it just bangs like usual. I don't really get the complaints about the beat selections on it. I personally don't think there is a bad beat on it...like at all. Let's discuss that or his post RTJ shit if you've listened to any of it.

2. "RTJ is his best album by far " In response to Reply # 0
Stoupe gave him the prefect backdrop i think its dope that Stoupe got this whole album in acapella form
Bis recorded all the rhymes right before he left to the military he apparantly didnt even hear the final album till he bought one at best buy a week after it dropped.
it was the only album he ever made i felt like had a direction and sounded like what i always wanted a bis album to sound like, it was his masterpiece.
poet laureate II is in my top 5 illest performances in hip hop history
Stoupe made him sound better than he was. For Whom the Beat Tolls was the proper followup, but the only thing I remember about that album was "Poet Laureate Infinity", which had 1000 bars. There was this gimmick on his website where there was a mixing board with five different vocal tracks of 200 bars each, and you could mix and match the vocals as you pleased. It was as bad as it sounds. Shit was like the underground No Limit as far as absurdity and a complete lack of awareness.
He made an album with Keith Murray a few years ago. That album does not have a Wikipedia page.
I will say that if you haven't heard Mic Club (the album before RTJ), it's definitely worth a listen.
