    ah I love that Pro/Con shit, saves me so much time when I dont want to read through a whole review, I DID in fact read your review though, very good, you kept it short and simple which works out perfect, no one wants to read through 3 pages just to know if a cd is good.

    P.S. I agree with the rating, I might have gone with a 9/10, 4.5 though.

    Edit: I like knowing the producers of tracks too so good looks on that also.

    And he has proved that he still remains supreme. Even though this album is several years old, it is still a classic,
    Overall: 4 Stars out of 5
    I'm confused yo

    an album doesn't have to be 5 stars to be a classic

    i never said it was bad i just feel that its overrated. its a 3.5 in my book and i've listened to it soooo many times just trying to see what others see in it. i think his flow on there was the least creative its ever been.

    ^How was his flow least creative? That's some dumb shit. G Rap's flow is always on point, you're retarded. He has the exact same flow and same style he's had since when he first dropped, you die now.

    Personally, this is my fav. Ra album. "Paid In Full" is his illest shit, but not everyone can listen and appreciate how dope of an album it really is. " The 18th Letter" is easily a 9.5/10 album.

    well you said it yourself, NEAR flawless, how can somthng be a 5/5 if its not flawless? saying its near flawless shows that it does indees have some flaw and therefor cannot be a flawless 5/5

    Jigga mans Reasonable Doubt is classic cause its stood the test of time, it has countless classic tracks, and the only thing really holding it back is 'Aint no Nigga', and 1 or 2 more average tracks. It may only be a 4/5 but not every classic needs to be perfect to be remembered as dope

    In fact the only album you could even consider calling a "flawless" classic is Illmatic, and even that waisted the first track on a pointles skit.
