    It was a let down for sure but the Dre tracks alone put it over anything he has released since at least 2009. They're all certified classics and Beach Chair was phenomenal as well.

    I don't really agree that Kingdom Come is his worst album, it's way better than it gets credit for, I'd take it over BP3 and MCHG every time. Public perception is just that it was a disappointing comeback and Jay himself considers it his worst work which reinforces its rep as a failure.

    Nas - I Am...

    Arguably the biggest let down of the 90s.

    picture us married, you and me, k-i-s-s-i-n-g
    I remember the first time, girl you and me, f-u-c-k-i-n-g

    f--- off nas. Love songs ain’t your lane.

    Interesting take, considering most felt some type of way about his shift in It Was Written. I do agree with this notion, remove some of the weaker cuts on I Am and it's pretty close to It Was Written.

    Been listening to his catalog lately and there are always some of songs on his finest albums where I'm just sitting there pondering on what h--- made him think "yeah, this cool, yo Salaam let's put Zone Out after Last Real N**** Alive" :lawd:

    Can-I-Bus. All the hype that went into that album, all of Canibus' cameos, his beef with LL. The industry was looking to him like some sort of messiah. Then that album drops and it's trashcan water.

    Following Love Story was a huge feat. Trial by fire has some amazing tracks but Love Story was a different league

    That's awesome. I find a lot of trial by fire is great. Shadow's has great lyrics, great hook, great everything really but it just gets boring quickly and I can't put my finger on why. TMR is totally different to TBF so I can understand why you wouldn't enjoy it.
