@@kostaminin9957 - Yes!! Thank you. Drives me crazy too. I see the word used constantly in comment sections for bands & musicians, most of whom are insanely popular and have been around for numerous decades yet to those few idiots somehow they're "so underrated". Gimme a break. 🙄 Only underrated to *you* if you've been living under a rock or just discovered the band/musician like 5 seconds ago. Please just stop, it's nauseating and makes you sound like a pretentious jackass.

I was a high school student when this came out. I had no idea what a golden era i was living in and i naively thought it would last forever. Nonstop top level rap would drop every month, this was just "very good" then, but now it would be the greatest of all time! We were so spoiled and didn't even know it.

Stop talking shit on mumble rappers. Jazz rappers did it, it was called skatting. James brown did the same thing, so did Bone Thugs. If you want to talk about “real music” know your history and know that every generation has their thing that is influential to their era that the previous era called “noise”.

Big L is probably my favorite, Danger zone and the big picture are such dope albums. It's like an onslaught of punchlines. He has a song with Tupac and another with Jay z at his prime. He was on another level. Nas is ight. However, aside from illmatic his other albums are ehh. Kinda like eminem, after his SSLP and MMLP it was all down hill from there. Rakim deserves respect, after paid in full dropped it literally did change hip hop and added complexity. Dudes like pun, krs one, wu tang(nearly any member) MF DOOM, etc outshine him

This album changed my life. I was in a bad place back in '99, since then I've broken out and made a life for myself and my loved ones. Listening to music that didn't speak about the superficial things, helps clear the way for real thoughts. Love this album and thanks to the Roots.
