I had to dust off my iPod for this. Looks like I cut-
That Part (Kanye was already starting to get on my nerves, man) Dope Dealer (I just can't do E not matter how much I've tried) Big Body because it just isn't good Str8 Ballin (I hate the hook and as a Pac fan if you are going to name a song after one of his classics, you better come correct. Just not for me)
So 2 based on preferences regarding guests, and 2 joints I just straight up didn't like.
I was way too hard on it/you when it dropped.
Once I cut those joints it got a lot of burn from me, it was my go to gym album for a minute.
> >I cut Big Body and Whatever You Want.
I actually don't mind Whatever You Want *shrugs* If I was going to cut one more, that would be it though.
> >I can’t think of a single album I considered a classic, that >didn’t have a few >joints that I skipped.
Yeah that's fair. I could probably think of a few but I'd have to think more.
> >I think “Represent” should have been left off Illmatic. I >don’t hate it, but nah
Ok now we're beefing again lol
If I had to pick one it would probably be One Time, but Illmatic is one I'd leave as is.
> >Same with Mamacita/Papadonna off Aquemeni. Meanwhile, I skip >nothjng on Atliens.
Agreed on ATLiens.
Off the dome I want to add Resurrection to the list. And Stress.

Yeah this is me officially taking my L. Not classic to me, but a much better album than I gave it credit for at the time.
