I come to you hungry and tired, you give me food, let me sleep
I come to you weak, you give me strength, and that's deep
Called me a sheep, and lead me to green pastures
Only askin' that I keep the focus in between the chapters

Classic album classic intro

Fantastic album. There are some songs I never cared for (e.g. I Can Feel, The Convo, nikkaz Started Somethin. @ me isn't going to get you a response, unverified fraud ) but this was probably my most played album of '98. The biggest surprise to me is "How It's Goin Down". I didn't care for the song back then. But being in the sands of Arabia, I never saw the video for it. So seeing the video years later (the video version is much better imo) sealed it for me.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned ATF yet. That was the joint that really sealed it for me back then. Still some of the best sound editing I've ever heard on a hip hop track.

I just lost my mind when he crossed the line
Sent his back through his chest then I tossed the nine

I might still know this whole album verbatim. I remember I had a mix of Get At Me Dog of the song verses mixed with the LOX verses and a 4th verse from X..

X's verse on this

Time goes by




No one can tell me this ain’t the smoothest lady cut in hip hop history

 

[MoneyBags]

this was the biggest album I have ever seen (was to young when Snoop came through and crushed the buildings in 93). I remember the day it dropped, half the school ditched or came late cuz everyone went to Sam Goody to cop this album. The principal of my school ended the daily announcements the day this album dropped with, "Have a DMX day today".

did you really have to lie? In your own words, You started listening to hip hop IN 98 via angelfire and mostly just the singles.
