I read somewhere that the 12" and CD were massively destroyed making that album a rarity....

Internal affairs?? It's out of print for sure, but I don't know if it was "massively destroyed" -- I would think not but who knows

I have a copy so I check the value on eBay sometimes. I think they got for about $30 used and $200+ new

The copyright holders demanded the album be pulled from shelves is what I remember as well, making it said rarity.

As a side note... Monch is so dope, one of the best technical emcees to ever touch the mic.

The album is a rarity? Never heard that one, hell never even heard Monch had any issues due to the song tbh...But can someone explain to me how the song still made it on the album before anyone realizing there would sample clearance issues?
