Who remembers this track? This was off the Funk Flex and Big Kap Tunnel album, that came out in 99. When it comes to Roc collabos, this is the definition of underrated because I rarely hear anyone talk about this track anymore.

I remember it, it took part of a Bleek hook from 'Coming Of Age', my boy bought this album, we actually kinds played it a lot, that summer...was it 99? Or 2000? It had 'Millennium Thug' on it too, and a Lox/Drag On track that I fukked with, Styles had some line like 'took the gun while it's still hot/feel my dikk hair burn' lol

LL Cool J had the 'III Bomb' on there too, right? That eventually ended up on 'GOAT'. The Roc track from around that time though, that I really loved was '4 Da Fam', remember that video? All these tracks I remember watching on mtv jams before school, around the same time, winter/fall 99, 'Until We Rich', 'Satisfy You', 'Do It Again', '4 Da Fam'....

The Tunnel album dropped around Christmas of 99. And it was an exciting time because Def Jam was dropping an album each week in the month of December with X, Hov, The Tunnel album, etc. And yea, it had all those songs you mentioned on there including this Prodigy and Kool G Rap track, Raekwon was on there, CNN was on there. And a few others. Actually the whole album was underrated if you ask me.
