I gotta listen to this whole thing. The first song sounds like he’s taking the piss out of Company Flow/Def Jux/Cannibal Ox type cats. Skimmed through and there was some kind of DMX parody there too. Didn’t hear Wu or Cash Money but I didn’t go all the way through it yet.

I don't know how Will Smith got away with that. And it's not like it was an unreleased track, it was on a multi-platinum album that won the first ever rap Grammy.
