Personal classic.

Production was nice (:what: at someone saying "The beats weren't good" in this thread). All the features were dope.
Banks held it down the whole time.

This is one of the few albums that I actually bought a physical copy of back in the day.



This guest verse and the song "Buddens" is what made me a fan of The Game.



"IF YOU MY nikka, you my nikka to the end...(WHOA...my FRIIIIEEE-EEE-EEEND OOOO WHOOOA)" :ohlawd: RIP Nate Dogg



"I'm rap's Lebron, Teflon Don, baguettes on arm, the next Sean...John!"

I stayed quoting most of this song, and my boys and I would always do the last verse.

"Banks don't housewarm no bytch, so if there's 5 of us...she gon' probably suck 4 more dikks." :cenasabo:

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
This is one album that you will listen to all the way through without skipping a track, there is not 1 below average track on the whole project and there are a bunch of great ones. Hell yeah its a classic to me.

Damn we should have saved those SOHH threads.

I think we had an appreciation thread on there about 'Blue Hefner" and the way he would treat these smuts....you really do learn alot from him.

Like how he handled that whole Yaris Sanchez(or whatever her name is) situation in a mellow anti Kanye way....

Despite my feelings about this album not being quite a classic(but i think its close) we gotta :salute: Blue Hefner for his consistent non simping mindset


:lawd: we should just go ahead and make that appreciation thread on the anti simping movement by him :blessed:

Another thing to consider. How often do rappers (these days) come from HUGE mixtape hype and actually deliver when the album comes out? :notsure:

This album did that. :ld:

"You ain't gotta practice gymnastics to catch a body, me and money is like Whitney next to bobby, if I bring all my nikkas I need an extra lobby, as soon as you ain't around jake, you get your ass whipped for chips, now that's the real definition of pound cake"

Oh my gawd this nikka goes hard. His whole album is a classic I swear we need to get this certified. And he does a lot with his beats, he doesn't rely on beats like most rappers with no flows do.

I remember this came out a week after Jadakiss' "Kiss Of Death" and I had to choose between the two. Hunger For More got the money (and Banks had the better punchlines), and I've been listening to the album at least a couple times a year ever since. I wouldn't call it an overall hip hop classic, but it's a personal classic.

"Aint No Click" was a dope intro, and Yayo killed it as well. The punchlines on "Warrior" :whoo:

The last 4 songs were an amazing run;
"When the Chips Are Down" (featuring The Game), "Til the End" (featuring Nate Dogg), "Die One Day", "South Side Story".
