the production is on par with GRODT, if not better. i would even go as far to say that it is a classic hip hop album.

discuss.

I agree. The narrative when it came out was, "It's not as good as GRODT."

Then the echo chamber made it seem like a mid project. He just had too much hype at the time, and anything would have been not as good as GRODT.

Album a solid 8.5/10 imo
9/10 if you catch me on the right day.

Def classic

A lot of filler but the highs are insane

I agree. It's a solid 8/10 album.

It gets underrated because of the singles but it's a decent project with strong replay value, especially with the album cuts like Ryder Music, God Gave Me Style, Ski Mask Way, etc.

And, heck, even the singles ain't all that bad besides Candy Shop. Just A Lil Bit and Disco Inferno are club smashes and Outta Control Remix is a legendary song.

Really, it's the fact that the 2nd worst song on the album after Gatman and Robbin became the lead single and got overplayed. That shaped peoples' perception of the album more than anything else.

It'd be like if "Drunk and Hot Girls" was the lead single on Graduation. It'd be criticized far more than it already has even with the same lineup.

Ski Mask Way

it's definitely a great album

problem is he put out such a monumental one with grodt it got overshadowed in the scope of his discography

I don’t think it’s “criminally underrated”

It sold a million first week lol

And all the singles were huge

It just doesn’t get the same praise as GRODT

I agree

Only bad songs on this album was build you up and candy shop and so amazing everything else is f***ing hard

Position Of Power & Guns Come Out were dark horses for me. Didnt f*** wit em at first but they grew on me heavy.

in 2021 among hip hop discussions massacre is def underrated

One of the best of 2000's

"Position Of Power"
"Get In My Car"
"Just A lil Bit"

And more

EASILY his best album.

Real

Lowkey it’s just as good if not better than GRODT sue me

There’s a few tracks I usually skip but as a whole I think it’s a pretty good album.

Also love the remix to Outta Control that came later.

this was the first album I ever bought lmao I was 4

It had massive hits

I think its better than GRODT by a hair

would be the best album oat if 50 didn’t give away all of the heat

Its great

And so is GRODT soundtrack which also has some of his best work

Also one of the final rap albums that my parents loved too lol

Hiphop heads from the 80s till round 2005ish when they dropped out for the most part

Ski Mask Way still sounds as smooth as it did in 2005.
