Good memories of 8th grade with this one. The time was Dre was out, Jay was out, Nas was out, and BIG was out, X was out. That's the best days of the game as far as childhood, buying albums like this back then meant everything. Like I was ecstatic to go and buy The Source or XXL and a new album.

Why didn't that Party And Bullshyt make the cut? That would have done crazy numbers in 1999. I randomly started rapping Puff's verse from Notorious in my head the other day

It's very representative of an era, some of it is fleshed out more, like Puff kinda being artistically stalled, and his label was shaky, so he was able to kind of go back in time with this one. Doesn't showcase Shyne at all, for obvious reasons. Mase was out.

I bought this album and was excited for it once Dead Wrong" dropped with the AL Green sample. I sat with it for a few days trying to like it, but that album sucked. And it ain't Big's fault, its just a bad album.

I remember The source article talking about this album before it released. It said Will Smith was suppose to be on Party and Bullshyt. And Lauryn Hill was supposed to be on a track
