Hellz Wind Staff Tier 3? That's my favorite track from the album currently. They all go in, each one tryna outdo the previous spitter.

It's incredible lyrically but actually not a massive fan of the beat overall. Love parts of it but it's not one of my favourites...then again in comparison to the rest of the album. Tier 3 is still fantastic.
Besides I have found that on this album particularly, everyone has a favourite song, so everyone's rankings could be drastically different. Testament to this album's greatness.

Can't believe dude put Scary Hours in TIER 4. For some reason that's always been my favorite track on the album. Just a quick one, two, three in-and-out fire verses from my 3 favorite members talking that "witty unpredictable fly" NY shyt...
This was a great thread. Had me thinking back to the days of 8th grade or so and the hype surrounding this album was absolutely insane. Waiting at home for that triumph video to come on and being like
Seeing the Its Yours video with the OLDER GODS teaser at the very end... seeing how Ghost had the passenger seat in the car reclined all the way back, just lamping out. The next time I got into my dad's car after I saw that I was like 
and put the seat all the way back and he was like "wtf are you doing... don't mess up my seats 
" 
. It was crazy to think about how BIG these dudes were back in like 96-97. I was young but I remember all of it. After 36 chambers made it's rounds and they all started doing solo stuff every single one of them (especially the big 3) were superstars.. then them coming out with this album..the clothing store, all sorts of stuff.. the hype was crazy. The fact that rap was once at a place where dudes like Rae and Ghost were true STARS in unbelievable if you think about what pops off now (no shots to the younger kids and the stuff today... i can't hate)... but think about it. These dudes were straight spitters speaking in ridiculously local 5%'er influenced slang that no one outside of a few neighborhoods in ONE city could relate to yet they were EVERYWHERE
I listened to this album this morning when I was getting ready to start my day. I haven't heard it in at least 15 years or so. I never realized when I was a kid how ridiculous and horrible Ghost's verse on Projects was.

up in the M.G.M. coked up}, psych
Six nikkas walked in flashing they gems peace (Aight
One dark skinned nikka fifty-six inch rope wrapped around twice
Smash the Gilligan boat with ice
(They threw sign language, ordered hot coffee
{wit a danish}
Relax, whispered they, "Rap entertainers"
(Had Lizzy on, two Japanese birds with furs look good kid)
Laid back handling hors d'ourves
(It's like round three) We too black for BET
You memorize the 1 to 40 (I'm at the 19th degree
If a civilized person doesn't perform his duty, what shall be done?
Pardon me God, that nikka got a gun
Bulging out his sweatpants, check out his stance
See the side of his grill? (Look like my cousin Lance
Left hand, rocky Guess watch) Yo I think I did his Clarks
He wanted crush bone leather with the strings dark
(Now I remember) He from Bear Mountain
He and Mitch Greene shot the fair one (Near the water fountain)
Seventh round, Chavez bleeding from his right ear
Yo keep your eye on that same nikka from right here
Popcorn spilling all on Liz Claiborne
(Ghost had the fly Gucci mocks wit no socks on
Seen Deion Sanders in the back with the phat fur on)
Working them hoes with the fly Wu shirts on
Mixed drink session Dun (Pour me some more)
Chef leathered down blinking at Chanté Moore
Tenth round Chavez tearing 'em down) Sweet Pea get ya shyt off
(It's like blacks against the Germans) Getting hit off
(Smooth and them walked in) Brownsville representing
(They sent a bottle over, autograph blessing)
Chef, pull out the doo-doo, twist the dank - pink noodles
(Yo I'm bout to roll one) Matter fact twist two of those
(Yo they wound up stopping the fight
Steels took a point away from Chavez) Rematch scheduled on October Ninth
Rematch scheduled on October Ninth
A fantastic duet with Rae and Ghost trading verses back and forth about attending the star-studded boxing match between Julio Caesar Chavez and Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker on Sept. 10 1994 at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. They talk about the fight and just people watching in general (often just as interesting as the fight itself).
imagine they did a video for this
They must have been drunk that night because Pea whooped Chavez, no matter what the scorecard said
That guitar sample and tambourine is eerie as fukk but still dope
Then that "Sometiiiiiimes" buildup
One of the best songs on the album in my opinion
ive used that joke so many times "fisher price, my first chain"Even Forever Skitswere Classic
...Sistah Cop ask Rae to put the weed out, then everyBODY Go HAM
Fisher Price, my first Timberlands
WHATTAWANT YA BIG DUMMY
ive used that joke so many times "fisher price, my first chain"
WHATTAWANT YA BIG DUMMY
I too use the Fisher-Price "my first...." line all of the time.

I think I was more amped over that sample being ID'd(after 12 or so years) than I was for the "Shook Ones" sample lol. It was mistaken for being "The End" by The Doors for mad long(aside from the "Sometiiiiimes..." part, of course).
