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 actually don't mind Whatever You Want *shrugs* If I was going to cut one more, that would be it though.

Yeah that's fair. I could probably think of a few but I'd have to think more.

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.

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.
