Shuffling an album is nasty.

lesve it up to Cole our ass probably would’ve never know until this album with Life Sentence or some s***

not really. I dont need to play illmatic from start to finish. I can just a toss a song on or put it on shuffle and it's still fine. same with tons of classics

people just like adding steps to critique rappers. sequencing dont matter outside the intro and outro record unless you're making conceptual tapes and i don't really care for them.

Nah you gotta shuffle on first listen, as God intended

“Not really” as in your dumb ass might not put any thought or consideration into that aspect…but I promise you the people making those albums do. Whatever helps you actually listen to the music I guess

Your brother will come around

TPAB on random unlocks all new meanings

Love how you're questioning intelligence as if songs being stand alone records aren't things artists don't include. You don't know what you're talking about. cry somewhere else dweeb

coles second verse on what if>first

I liked the biggie flow

In all fairness I think its easier to imitate Tupac than Biggie

i disagree strongly with this and i prefer biggie. You see more people imitating biggie and it working than pac. I just think Cole emulates pac better because that's his style/favorite rapper. voice matches better too.

Only You >>>

album gets better and better

I like boldy and a lot of rappers from that scene but I feel like they be getting passes that none of the big 3 would get because they're smaller artists which makes sense I guess

the iPod device you value so highly let users shuffle. they in fact introduced the concept to a lot of people

its also no different than skipping a song on an album or listening to an album but not starting with track 1

Skipping a song is nasty

Not starting from the beginning is nasty.

hearing the verse in their respective voices made me appreciate his writing more
