WHat is crazy is the singles off of this were some of the better songs (Far From Yours is a classic video as well)! Premo did one of them and that still is dope to this day. I have the tape and it is a SOLID album, the highlights stick out more on this album I agree but Word Life was dope as well, to me more consistent all the way through if that makes sense... I agree with Feelosofer above, depends on what you look for in an album and what sound to which you like better. Jewelz is dope though, some amazing production on that album and OC is OC.
OC - Jewelz is a masterpiece. I can't get enough of this album!

The way they flipped that same Dead Presidents sample 
O.C was one of my favorite for a minute. Word...Life and Jewelz were classics.

O.C. is criminally underrated. Jewelz was the soundtrack to my HS days.

I'll never forget. Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop and Runaway Slave dropped the same day! So I ran over to The Wiz with my little money and copped both of them, and could barely listen to anything else at the time because those two were so dope. So those two have kinda always been on my favorites list. I loved Goodfellas too though. But I liked the group better when Show was still rhyming. He wasn't the most lyrical, but he just added something special to the tracks when he was on them. It was a dope feel.
Word...Life is one of my favorite albums of all-time though. Monch took the promo up to Stretch and Bobbito, Summer '94. And he was talking about how he was helping O and had done some beats on the album. He was playing the tracks and I lost my mind! That's one of those albums that I literally listen to every single track on. No skips. I remember going to school and playing it for everyone in the lunchroom, trying to promote it, lol.

I used to rock with Wordβ¦Life heavy and is such an amazing album & yet still all these years later I would go back to Jewelz before that album. Jewelz is just timelessβ¦

Great album but always thought the production was inconsistent. OC never got the full album of classic production he deserved. He's got one of the greatest flows in history. And he never gets mentioned for his choruses, but his hooks were always dope as hell. Dude shoulda been a star.
I bumped the hell outta that Starchild album. "memory lane(getaway)" was my shyt.
