I'll be listening to this for the first time right now. I slept on this release because there was so many great releases in 1998.

Jay dropped vol 2, Outlast dropped a classic etc

Didn't realize there was a Dre feature on this

Top 5 year in Hip Hop releases overall

1998 was the beginning of the dark ages.

I'd say 97 but I'm not gonna quibble with you

These plus Aquemini and some No Limit classics (Fiend, Mac, IGTHU OST, C-Murder...) made 1998 one of my favorite years in rap music history. Coincidentally WWE was also on fukkin' fire post-Wrestlemania 14

most of those late '90s WWF pay-per views were awful.

From a pure technical standpoint many of em yeah (97 had some amazing main events, while the midcard sucked a dikk), but the summer of 98 transformed almost everyonr into a star, and everyone was over for at least some time, some forever (Austin, Rock, Taker, Kane, Foley, DX)

great booking, plus they bit ecw & wcw while riding the shock tv wave of the times.

I'm not gonna lie, as a horny kid going thru puberty, i was tuning in heavy, along with the jerry springer show. but i don't hold that attitude era in high-regard, except like the last year of it.

they broke hella stars thru tho. everybody was over.

1998 was as far as I'm concerned the turning point where everything was awash in the jiggy era.

ANOTHER CLASSIC ON YOU FAKKITS

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Dope year all around. Shut em down!

 

[JMD]

even though it was released in late ‘97 this was the joint

 

[DoomzdayzV]

Flex 60 Mins vol 3 is a classic to me.....that might have been my favorite joint that year
