I can't see it.

It's MMLP, then a significant drop to SSLP, then an enormous gap for the rest of his catalog.

I just don't think he has it in him to make another album like that. Artists are lucky if they make an album half that good once in their career. Doing is twice is not only ambitious, it's incredibly unlikely.

Pretty much this, but there were more than a few great songs on the SSLP that didn't get any attention at all.

MMLP was amazing from start to finish, but I can listen to and have an appreciation for almost every single song on SSLP.

Don't get me wrong. SSLP is a fantastic album. It's so raw and very, very pivotal for the time it was released.

I really enjoy SSLP.

MMLP is just that much better. It's one of the best hip-hop albums of all time. I don't think that's really disputable.
