I'm sorry but I got "I'm Serious" when it came out and nobody was fukkin with dude. shyt is a personal classic to me and I can listen to it anytime without skipping through. Production was on point wit Neptunes, Toomp, Jazze Pha, etc... thats my favorite album by him although he had a lot of better songs on his other albums. so like homie said, I just compiled my own playlist of TIP faves.
you know what i have to agree with you bro, i think i'm serious might be tip's best shyt too
still ain't forgave myself is an unbelievable record, was just listening to that shyt not too long ago. dope boyz, you ain't hard, heavy chevys, the list goes on. granted he had bigger singles on later albums but pound for pound that's his best shyt
and wayyy off topic 'cause it just came to mind, but am i the only tip fan that loves why you wanna? that crystal waters sample was swaggy and his bars impeccable. think it's a top 10 tip record even though it was aimed at the ladies
