I've listened to it 4 or 5 times and I just can't get into it. I feel like I should like it but I don't. Same goes for '36 Chambers'.
They're good albums, I know why people like them, I just can't get into them.
Blackstar on the other hand is fuckin' golden, but it doesn't exactly fit into the same category as 'The Chronic' and '36 Chambers'.

I don't understand, classic hip hop albums are classic hip hop albums. I also really really don't understand how you can't respect the fact that wu tang's 36 chambers was groundbreaking. These were a bunch of kids from Staten Island who were all about shaolin and really cool stuff and as far as I know nobody else could touch that. Blackstar fit into the same category easily, because they were repping NYC as well, and also because lyrically, their shit was groundbreaking as well.
You have to respect the classics. I will make you like 36 chambers.
