After its dark and hell is hot, the Great Depression is my second fave X album. This track right here is a forgotten gem :mjcry:

"You are the strength I never knew I had/kept the heart good when they told me it was bad"

Word. Alot of people say only the first 2 or the first 3. Great Depression is right up there imo. There's a slight drop with every album but IDAHIH set the bar incredibly high by the time X came down he was still way above average. Its just that the general public expected way more

"Sometimes" is a great intro. X definitely should've put out a spoken word album... he drops so many freestyle poems throughout his concerts he could've probably made them into songs as well

Always loved this freestyle. Wish Hav and P did more tracks with X. Even Hav with the beats. Mobb did make it on his only officially released Mixtape called "Mixtape", lol.




Biggie gone on March 9th X gone on April 9th :wow:

There's no doubt in my mind Biggie would have eventually messed with X. Especially with how Dark that Debut album was. That was right up Big's alley. Not to mention X actually did mess with Bad Boy. I also think Big would appreciated his dark storytelling ability. That one of the most underrated aspects of X's skills. He was an amazing storyteller. Love this unreleased Song X did with the Big sample. He even did the "Ready To Die" cover with the dog. Also X did a "Who Shot Ya" Freestyle.
