U Don't Know was the street single I heard on the Empire Strikes Back mixtape
Izzo was the lead single
Jay dissed Prodigy & Nas at Summer Jam earlier that summer
Anticipation for BP was super high, higher than the previous 2 albums
Production carried the album & bc Jay made a cpl personal records, critics loved it
it was hailed as a classic immediately even tho he wasn't at his sharpest lyrically
he picked great singles: Izzo - Girls, Girls, Girls - Song Cry
That album was monumental in hindsight
Universally recognized as a top 3 album in his discography
