I don’t know about anywhere else but my hood thinks it’s a classic and I still bump this on the regular since 2000. This was the most anticipated album in my hood at the time. I was shocked when I heard this joint only went gold….. This album was blasting from every care in my hood. Just wanted to know what y’all think about this LP

it's a very good album but its one i can go along time without hearing it and then when i do bring it back i listen to it heavily for a couple of days and then that would be it for a while... couple of joints from it are on certain playlists but its a "once in a blue moon" album for me.

i was only like twelve when it dropped but my cousin used to play it heavy and i know mad fellow Italians that loved this album when it dropped though.

It was weak as hell to me. Swizz ruined it single handedly. I loved their first album, and ironically, Swizz had one of the best cuts on there.

this isnt an internet-friendly album.

and swizz beatz certainly isnt internet-friendly.

and yea, i followed billboard at the time so i knew what they sold, but most people in the streets assumed that they sold 4 mil because literally everybody had it and you would hear it played everywhere for well over a year.

Your opinion is your opinion and I respect that but I never could understand how Swizz was so hated back then on SOHH when he was dropping mad heat at the time.

Dope album with some CLASSIC cuts on it.

The Lox movement was :salute: around that time so when it dropped it was out of this world.

Looking back now it's not a perfect album but still rock solid.
