Some say it was on the level of The Infamous, for those who have heard it, is that true?
There were several versions. But yeah, the album got leaked and so they took off songs and added new ones. The version of the title track had an extra verse and the sequence was different. It was missing It’s Mine, Quiet Storm Remix, and Going Out. Some of the songs on the OG were theseshyt i thought the one that came out was the OG. What tracks wasnt on it that were supposed to be. The version that came out was dope tho.
I didn’t think Quiet Storm/Murda Muzik/HNIC era P was talking flow P that much. On Infamy? Absolutely. I didn’t get that vibe as much before then though.I thought it was pretty boring when it came out. P had started his talking flow and Havoc got pretty minimal.
I still liked it but i didn't think it was a classic back then. It was still a good album that I liked. Just not as good as the first two.
Then again, we know more about that time frame now and how music was changing. So compared to other albums that year it certainly holds up to the competition.
