Yeah I guess it was the relevance factor that was missing

who had the best verse?

For me, it's either Pharoahe Monch or Method Man. Redman killed it too but I prefer Monch or Method's verse tbh
MobbAnyone like Internal Affairs?
I think it's one of the best albums of 1999 and in my top 5 along with DOOM, Roots, Mos and Dre.
Wish I could add it to my music
Soundbombing 2

Murda Muzik is pretty good. Haven't listened to Soundbombing 2.
monch is goat imo, sadly his catalog lacks in comparison to the other greats
i voted the ok debut and second as classics. the second is a classic without a doubt, while the debut is also ahead of its time tho it does sound aged as do many albums around that time
equinox is really solid but the abundance of skits held it back
even tho im a die hard monch fan i gota say no to internal affairs. 'the next sh!t' didnt really fit in, and 'official' was mediocre by his standards. take those two out and replace them with average monch tracks and it would be a definite classic. and just to be picky, the simon says remix (or the original) couldve done with a twist to the beat

agree with the bold
interesting about the skits for Equinox being a let down....you think the tracks themselves were ok?

Just yesterday I was working on a part of a favorite rapper series for Rap Genius lol here's what I wrote for Pharoahe Monch
"One of the most talented emcees to come out of Queens, there’s very good reasons why he could be in the top 10. Monch has one of the most versatile flows in hip-hop history. He can speed it up or slow it down depending on the beat and he can switch it up effortlessly. With his album Stress: The Extinction Agenda with the also talented Prince Po, he showcased a lyrical performance that was miles ahead of anybody that year. His other work is also solid with Organized Konfusion and Internal Affairs being must-listens as well."
Thought it was decent.

im not a fan of skits and i understand they're required to line all the tracks up, but minutes of talking and ish really just dont do it for me. it drags the pace of the album down, like just before the final track there was minutes of silence before the track comes in
the tracks themselves were tight! by no means were they a step down from stress. monch still rips it effortlessly in tracks like soundman, and concept tracks like invetro, hate are

Equinox is low key a personal classic to me as well. People HATED that album when it dropped though.
To me Equinox, Ghetto Millionaire, Jewelz & even the second Diamond D album are the last hurrah of high quality sample based NYC rap release before the the Ruff Ryder's rang the death knell.
