Classic album, but top 5? I don't know that I'd put it there. Can't be mad at anyone rating it that high though :yeshrug:

I hate when people make statements like this or just strongly disagree.

Its all OPINIONS. There is nothing called facts. Music dont deal in numbers. If an album is in MY top 5..why cant it be? Cuz i gotta name the other albums people say just cuz they hear other people naming them?

Make up your OWN opinions yall..not just regarding this album. Any album.

I just like alot of album. I personally dont deal with top lists ANYTHING. Just the same ol same shyt, people say shyt just cuz others say it or theyve heard it so often theyve been conditioned to say certai artists or albums.

[Verse 3: DMX]
Well in the back wit ya fakkit ass face down
Lucky that you breathing, but you dead from the waist-down
The fukk is on your mind? Talking that shyt that you be talking
And I bet you wish you never got hit cause you be walking
But shyt happens and fukk it, you done did your dirt
nikkas is wondering how the fukk you hid your skirt
Right under their eyes like a surprise to the guys
That one of their mans was a bytch in disguise
fukking with cats that order more hits and slaughter more kids
Let me holla at you yo Baltimore shyt (ah-oh!)
Knahmean? I'm just robbing to eat
And there's at least a thousand of us like me mobbing the street
When we're starving, we eat whatever's there
Come on you know the code in the street; whatever's fair
Blood stains and chalk, menas your man couldn't walk
After the talk, about him not being 11-33 to New York
Transforming-ass nikkas'll get it quick
And yo for real that nikka K {Solo} can suck my dikk
And it's gon' take all these nikkas in the rap game to barely move me
Cause when I blow shyt up, I have nikkas falling like white bytches in a scary movie
AHHH! You know I don't know how to act
Get too close to nikkas it's like: "Protected by Viper, stand back"
What's this? I thought you nikkas was killers, demented
The fukk you want me to do with this coward? Finish him, it's ended

It has a special place in my heart because of nostalgia, but I don't think it's a major classic like that.

Might be the GOAT "gimmicky" album, tho.


The whole "Bring the streets back"/dog barking thing felt manufactured to me.That was the whole marketing scheme behind the album, but I wasn't buying it


I wouldn't necessarily call it a street album.It was mostly some horrorcore/ultra hype Onyx/adrenaline rush type shyt.To me, Juvenile's 400 Degrees was more of a "street album"

Ironically, IMO, How's It Going Down was the realest/most organic/down to earth song on the album.


The album hit it's zenith with nikkaz Done Started Something, tho.That's a bonafide classic right there.One of thee GOAT collabs...EVER.


But yeah, it's the greatest gimmicky album of all time.Coming out the Puffy/Mase shiny suit era, IDAHI dropped at the perfect time for maximum success.Def Jam saw the market open for "something real" and took advantage of it.

X fans won't like me saying "gimmicky", but that's just the way I saw it:yeshrug:


I'm not even mad at the album.I still listen to it from time to time.It's gimmick perfection
