14 shots to the dome was a disaster. Especially coming off the platinum/grammy winning Mama Said knock you out. I think that Def Jam just chose the wrong singles. "Stand by your man" should have been the first single. followed by Pink cookies, then the pink cookies Mo Bee remix(which was hot). Listening to it when it came out, i didn't even like it until years later I listened to it and realized that the beats were dope as fukk, but we just weren't used to hearing LL on beats that hard. That was some Lords of the Underground/Onyx type shyt.. the crazy thing is that Monica 2 years later had a hit and sold millions based upon a song that people shytted on LL for lol. you can't make this up. (back seat of my jeep).


Album featured one of the most important dialogues in rap history. So when people shyt on this album.
I know they never listened to it to even credit it properly.
This album dropped to late in the styles war era. As well but all we got left is the beat is still after all it is said and done. A masterpiece that this album although. Given neg marks back then. Never properly credited ll with how excellent all we got left is the beat is.

Phenomenon is like this as well but my guilty pleasure is for the dough. Yet the father record is the gem and even then it was never given its proper due. Even if a critic smashed the album as well.

This is what I've been saying for YEARS! Older rappers with bread just stop being cheap. He got Q-Tip, let him do him, with what sounds like samples, shyt comes out good. It's not that hard. He probably won't profit off the record, but he has the tour, and honestly doesn't need the money.
