Album is a classic to me, I was in 8th grade, I remember everyone at that time thinking Jay finished Nas off, but then Ether came and everything else is history

The Fab had some tracks, I didn't buy that shyt though, 'One Day', 'Can't Deny It', 'Keep It Gangsta', man we used to love the multi's and punches back then, listen to shyt from that era now, and it just doesn't hold up. Budden was on those too.

But, Clue let Fab down production wise, it was really generic, a lot of those Rick Rock sounding beats, lyrics were good. Fab went like 4 albums in, before he really mastered a sound with some longevity.

Wow I forgot that joint dropped on 9/11 (I dropped the same day as the twin towers). Probably because everybody had the whole album memorized back in August.
