one of my favorites off the album, thought the beat was serviceable, for that producer, one of his better ones and hov did his thing

other than overexposure not sure why this album gets meh treatment, in my book contender for hov's greatest, beats were better on blueprint and lyrics on reasonable as a complete package it up there for me

At the time, I thought it was fire. 12th grade, smoking blunts, riding around selling weed and coke, playing PSA, Moment of Clarity, Allure, Change Clothes, Dirt Of Ya Shoulder.

I don't listen to the The Black Album much now, I think the only one that for me was a classic was Allure. The beat for it's time was fire. I liked Eminem's beats back then and every rapper wanted one. Jay, Nas, Jada, 50.

That was just the era of 2003, the rock style Eminem beats, or the darker cinematic ones like this. The way it darkens/heightens during the hook was dope to me. Just ran it back and it took me right to those months of my life.
