Shit, let’s talk shop. What did you trim?

I cut Big Body and Whatever You Want.

I can’t think of a single album I considered a classic, that didn’t have a few
joints that I skipped.

I think “Represent” should have been left off Illmatic. I don’t hate it, but nah

Same with Mamacita/Papadonna off Aquemeni. Meanwhile, I skip nothjng on Atliens.

>haha

Don’t mind that. I was in a mood about some other shit and Primo has verry right to be a prick right back.

But I don’t think “widely” really matters, particularly when the album is more niche. And Blank Face is a grimey ass gangster album that doesn’t try to be anything else.

We can point to a very small handful of albums like that, that hit a critical mass, and I don’t know that ang of this exist in the modern era.

To that end, I think Blank Face stands up objectively well, even if it’s not widely considered a classic.
