I never said they were yours, I said they were "subjective", which they are. And just because you think they're fair doesn't mean they are. For example, I'd give Blueprint 2 a MUCH higher rating than a 1.5/5. It's biggest problems were average songs (filler) and overblown length. It had a lot of gems on it. I also don't think IWW deserves a 4.5/5. That whole album was Nas jumping on the mafioso bandwagon. It didn't have that signature Nas style that everyone loved Illmatic for. Instead we got Raekwon-lite Escobar. Untitled was a flop for me too, some of the worst hip hop production on a Nas album period. The whole idea was an artistic failure in my eyes.
