One of the best songs on a letdown of an album.

Dr. Dre did not bring the heat that you'd expect for finally doing a bunch of work with Jay, but this was probably their best one.

I thought Trouble was really dope too but a lot of people tell me I'm bugging on that.

Didn’t realize Dre did 4 songs on this till now:ohhh:

He mixed the majority of the album too, which is crazy cos a couple of the songs sound like trash.

If Jay didn't rush out the album and record half of it while sick we could have had a classic.

Imo this was Dre testing the waters for Detox in terms of an artist making a "mature" rap album. Unfortunately it got shat on so that made Dre second guess himself.

"Lost Ones" is one of my favourite Jay songs, the production on Minority Report was A1 as well:wow:
