Weak album,zero memorable songs,didnt catapult O.C. anywhere

as I always say,,, Buckwild is terribly slept on... Of course doing that era, it was preem and pete rock. b.u.t. Buck was steady creeping out those bangas!

bought this album at least twice. that said... jewelz might be a personal classic. but i dont think you can call it an outright classic. if i remember right the response to "far from yours" was not positive, and a lot of people weren't feeling the new direction in comparison to word... life. personally, i've always liked it more than word... life, but i dont think it's the better album overall. not even close. i just like OC on this type of production more, even with the misses throughout the album.

I loved "Far From Yours"

Good to see this album get love , m.u.g. with Freddie Foxxx and War games with Organized Konfusion were fire too

im glad Mr. Walt and Showbiz hated on Dangerous, that beats horrible. he should have put L on one of the Premier joints

I don't understand the hate for that beat. It uses the same sample as MC Shan's "Down By Law" and has a nice, old school feel

O.C. is criminally underrated. Threads like this are what keeps me coming back here.
