OPINION The One "Bad" Song Ruins The Album Argument

[Eyerone]

my guy @Eyerone says he's NEVER listened to Hola Hovito

that cut me deep

still haven’t heard Braveheart Party off Stillmatic either.

 

[CeLLar-DooR]

my guy @Eyerone says he's NEVER listened to Hola Hovito

that cut me deep

Jigga that Nigga smh

 

[OhMars]

Yeah. Damn doesn't get any skips from me

 

[SheerExcellence]

my guy @Eyerone says he's NEVER listened to Hola Hovito

that cut me deep

i have listened to it, but i hate that fucking track
classic album tho

 

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

Blueprint and The Black Album are flawless.


















Damn and Victory Lap are flawless.

None of these albums are flawless

 

[Stomp Johnson]

I judge by the overall effort.

Every good album (even if not a classic) has highlights and low lights. I

I don't think a classic has to meet some strenuous, world-changing, perfect-tracklist standard to be considered as such. If that were the case, I can name plenty of albums that would fail.

Albums by Dre, Tribe, Jay etc

 

[grYmes]

Very rarely have I ever come across a classic that I believe is completely flawless. There’s always those one or two songs that ain’t quite up to par with the rest of the album. Most the time tho with classics even the “bad” songs are somewhat tolerable under curtain circumstances.

 

[Dwayne]

None of these albums are flawless

Music is subjective as fuck.




And they are flawless albums to me. Dont skip any track on them albums

 

[Ghostface]

Probably got that from Jay-Z when he said vol 1 could’ve been a classic if it wasn’t for a few songs

 

[KNiGHTS]

let me reiterate the classic doesnt mean flawless thing being said in here

Aaaaaaand....

All Eyez on me had some wack songs but still a classic in my book

Literally the first album to mind. Thug Passion was horrendous and then What's Ya Phone Number doubled down. Still in an inarguable classic album to me.

 

[5 Grand]

Here's 5 flawless albums. Not one weak song on any of them.

However, I'm trying to think of a flawless Hip Hop album and I'm drawing a blank.

 

[illestni99ainne]

You didn't say you didnt like the album, you just said you didn't think it was good, which is pretty much saying you didn't like it lol

I’ll say it. I didn’t like it. LOL

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

This the first time I've seen somebody say they didn't fuck with "Smokin"

Most times that I discuss that album w someone that is the song most often referred to as the weakest. Still doesn't take away from the fact that is a classic album to me.

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

Jigga that Nigga smh

I fucked w that song....clearly did not fit the album. But how do you leave a groovy bop like that off hahaha..."Haters no like"

 

[unspoken_respect]

Wow, how is this in question? This is why "classic" has lost its meaning. So if classics can have bad songs, what do we call albums with no bad songs? Ultra classic? Super classic?

I know classic is subjective but there is a reason a great album isn't a classic; and it's because of those 1 or 2 bad songs.

 

[100MBS]

"Drunk and Hot Girls" is probably the only "wack" song on Graduation. I've never heard of anybody who liked it

 

[Ghostface]

I find it troubling that some hip hop fans cannot name a flawless album

 

[DioBrando]

What about BE from common?

 

[AP2.5]

"Drunk and Hot Girls" is probably the only "wack" song on Graduation. I've never heard of anybody who liked it

i fuck with that song frfr

it's definitely out of place on the tracklisting, but it grew on me

 

[Don Dada]

Cool that so many people agree with me, All eyez on me is a classic but got some wack songs but songs overall on it are so great it have to be a classic.

Pac could had make All Eyez on me as 2 albums and it would be 2 classics.

Lol
