Goddamnit I ruin everything

 

[ColdBlooded]

I feel like people are just throwing shit out there for the sake of it without really putting much thought in it. I mean everyone has their favorite artists and shit, but really at least try to be objective. I mean First Degree? Seriously you would put him on the level as 2pac? South Bound really? Really?

And I know this site is filled with Tech N9ne groupies hard core and all and I like him as a rapper, but 2pac level - honestly?



I expected the M&M and Nas. I like the Ice Cube, G Rap, & ll cool j attempts. I take those serious.

Well, you can't expect everybody to have the same opinions as yourself. It's all about individual taste. You asked for artists who released three consecutive classic albums. And although not all mentioned above are classic, they are considered to be favorites to the people who posted. The only rapper on 2Pac's level is 2Pac. You should've told us in the first post that you're just trying to make a point and that we shouldn't respond with any opinions of our own.

Again, in my opinion, there are many artists above Pac's level.

why cause 2pac's dead it makes his albums better or something? i may be a huge tech fan but i cant really think of one thing 2pac had that tech n9ne didnt besides popularity. i'm not sayin he's better but it's logical to have him in here.

 

[PoetiCCC]

Really the only two that come close to me would be Eminem with Slim shady Lp, marshal mathers LP, & the eminem show or Tech with Anghellic, Absolute Power, & Everyready....

all tha rest seem to have two really good albums and then one average album....

If he would've released a third album I'm sure it would'e been great

 

[TrEmEnDo InDo]

I love all three of those albums, because they're all very different albums.
One could argue that the lyrical content is relatively the same, but to me there is a distinct mood I get from 7 Day theory that I don't hear on the other two, and vice versa. Tupac evolved as an artist, he was true to his craft.

I've said on here before that I think

Spice-1 -Spice-1
Spice-1 187 he wrote
Spice-1 -Amerikkkas nightmare

are classics.

 

[killahoe666]

everyone throws out the other tech releases but this is what I believe are best 3 cd's that followed after one another

gotta throw this crackhead in there these are no where near as classic as pacs releases but they were all tight releases

 

[D-Rose]

And there it is.

I think so, too. I was gonna put those three as his best, but I don't know why I didn't. I truly believe that those three albums were during his freshest phase. The flow on tracks such as S.I.M.O.N. Says and The Worst is just brilliant.
