I'll snatch up your girlfriend, her friend, and their friends/I got the game and fame, they got the condoms...

It's one of my favorite albums. Just played Statik this afternoon.

Jeru was neck and neck if not I say a notch up higher then BIG in the streets in 94


real talk,...
no record could fukk with come clean as a debut single in that time frame.

the draw and love for that instrumental took over redman's tonite's the night as the go to rap instrumental.
only record to knock it out of that supremacy was shookones.

Forgotten album won't say it's better than Illmatic, but it can go toe to toe with any classic.

Not on The Sun Rises, but Jeru's verse on Speak Ya Clout is another one of his I love.

Last year... record companies were chumpin me/but now like chicks they all be up on me/and me so horny, I hit 'em like a groupie/snatch off my hat, wash my dikk and keep it movin...

Classic

Never hear 'Statik' get as much props as it should, some of those raw stripped down joints like this and
some of the tracks Premo did for Group Home were just :banderas:

Jungle Music too, those drums:banderas:


Also I know alot of heads weren't happy with Wrath Of The Math but it remains a 4.5/5 album to me

Definetly a classic and played a big part in the East Coast renaissance
