In Retrospect, Couldn't The Firm Have Done Big Things?

Creep.
I think things would've worked out better if:
1) The whole thing were produced by Dre
2) They maintained the original line up of Nas, AZ, Foxy and Mega. They still could've used the project to introduce Nature as he didn't really feel like a member anyway. He was more of a guest.
3) Most of the album had all Firm members on the same song.
4) Them keeping the Brooklyn/Queens connection alive by using more features from both borroughs. A feature from Mobb Deep and a Jay feature would've added to the impact. At least a beat from Havoc.
5) Minimal featured artists.

You're just being argumentative. Go back and read what I originally wrote to see where
And, yeah, they DID play them joints like that here in the Tri-State. Could listen to half of 'Affirmative Action' (for instance) on Power 105, switch to Hot 97, and finish the song.
98.7 KISS FM played 'Firm Biz' ALL the damned time and even 103.5 WKTU got in on it.
I don't even wanna get into the mix-tapes/CD's.

They should bring it back with Nas, Nicki Minaj, AZ, and some other rapper.

Sorry, my man. I can't do it. She's annoying.
Can't even watch her with the sound off.
She's the Jar-Jar Binks of hip hop status to me.

If you took the leftover it could have been a great album, like said above it was more of a compilation album, too much features and tracks with only one or two member
they should have done theses songs as a single with a video and on this order
phone tap
firm biz
la familia
firm biz remix (with a video on paris imagine that)
should have been this

lol, no we did not!
The Firm is a good album. My only gripes are the hella skits and Encore, Firm-All Stars, F' Somebody Else. Everything else is good-great. Remember, AZ used his verse in Time for Pieces of a Man, so that track is out; Nas couldn't be on but so many tracks because of Sony and maybe add Mary J.
The Trackmasters did their thing on it, and I don't think it would've been as good with all Dre production. I think it would've been stale (don't forget Aftermath Presents...) and a horrible sound for AZ and Nas to be over. I don't think it sounded like a compilation simply because it was more cohesive; to me it was somewhere in between.
Half-A-Mil should've been on more tracks, maybe Firm Fiasco, and replace Wiz interlude with a Half-A-Mil track. The Firm at that time was Nas, AZ, Nature, Foxy, Dawn Robinson, Mary J, Half-A-Mil. You really don't think pretty boys Nas & AZ, and get money Half-A-Mil weren't gonna talk about money and fashion with the streets?
