nahhhh I cant do it for this one...shyt is weak to me....but The Understanding was my shyt........to be 100% honest thats one of my favorite albums ever. I didnt think people were feelin Coming of Age like that.
Might be nostalgia, but I dont think so. I remember hoppin in the whip and lettin this shyt ride. Ja Rule was hot then and they had that "Its Murder" shyt...

I only liked a few tracks on The Understanding... I'm sure you know which ones (I Get High & My Mind Right). And hated them for givin him "Is That Yo bytch"

Always been a favorite, I bought that in August 99, I think the day it dropped-the same day I saw 'The Sixth Sense', and got on a flight to Mexico City, I was 14 years old, and you could not tell me Bleek wasn't the nicest….That album is so dope, no forced mainstream r&b hook or feature, just straight grimy beats and verses, I loved it cover to cover, and I still play that those tracks….Bleek was just young, hungry, and had that appeal to me at the young age…My boy and I used to get driven to school by his older sister, playing 'Murda 4 Life' and 'What You Think Of That'…..everyone at my school was on 'Crhonic 2001', but this was my shyt. I walked home from school with a tape player, or disc man playing this shyt….
