It IS a classic to me... check the verse on the Still I Rise song :

Somebody wake me I'm dreamin, I started as a seed the semen
Swimmin upstream, planted in the womb while screamin
on the top, was my pops, my momma screamin stop
From a single drop, this is what they got
Not to disrespect my peoples but my poppa was a loser
Only plan he had for momma was to fuck her and abuse her
Even as a little seed, I could see his plan for me
Stranded on welfare, another broken family
Now what was I to be, a product of this heated passion
Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a piece of ass
Look how it began, nobody gave a fuck about me
Pistol in my hand, this cruel world can do without me
How can I survive? Got me askin white Jesus
will a nigga live or die, cause the Lord can't see us
in the deep dark clouds of the projects, ain't no sunshine
No sunny days and we only play sometimes
When everybody's sleepin
I open my window jump to the streets and get to creepin
I can live or die, hope I get some money 'fore I'm gone
I'm only 19, I'm tryin to hustle on my own
on the spot where everybody and they pops tryin to slang rocks
I'd rather go to college, but this is where the game stops
Don't get it wrong cause it's always on, from dusk to dawn
You can buy rocks glocks or a herringbone
You can ask my man he's a mind reader, keep my nine heater
All the time this is how we grind
Meet up at the cemetary then get smoked out, pass the weed nigga
That Hennessey'll keep me keyed nigga
Everywhere I go niggaz holla at me, "Keep it real G"
And my reply til they kill me
Act up if you feel me, I was born not to make it but I did
The tribulations of a ghetto kid, still I rise

to me almost every Pac album is classic and so is this, Still I Rise got different feelin than other albums ( dont know how to put in words ), every Pac album is different.. Still I Rise is best album after 7 Day Theory. UTEOT had dope lyrics but weak beats.

I already heard most of the OG cutz way before I heard this album.
Let me say this, I like the original cutz waaaaaay better!
Especially that "Secretz of War". Even if the sound quality isnt az dope as "Still I Rise" I like them OG versionz better.

so no, good album fasho'................but not classic to me

i feel you on that blessdawiseguy. i mean, i like the redone Hell 4 Hustler and Secrets of War tracks but the rest of the album like STILL I RISE, Letter 2 the President, Black Jesus, Tattoo Tearz, werent that good. and all the outlawz redid their verses, but yet for some reasons sound weaker. Still I Rise is the least listened to album of my pac cds.

luckily so many bootlegs were floating around for me to snatch up. but yeah, the sound quality is the only thing keeping me from bumping it.

i know erry body is going to prolly hate on me for sayin this, but before he died i thought his shit was wack as fuck, i thought his shit was like some flamed up west coast type of puff daddy shit.... but then i got used to it, coz during his last days i was only into straight up bay area shit, and none of yall could say his deathrow shit was some bay shit just coz he was from the town coz the two scenes sounded totally different....
