this is an underrated album imo.
the production was really overlooked, cause duke had a killer line-up on here. and he was by far more engaging to me than mic geronimo who was pretty much a nas-ripoff despite having one classic under his belt (masta i.c.).
I remember copping this lp, da dirty 30, scout's honor, jewelz and likwidation all around the same time and rocking this and cru's album the most.
too many bangers on here
moving' on ya weak production

the song with his wastlandz crew, i forget the name, had a dope beat too.
it's a shame that "rotten apple" didn't make the cut after being on mixtapes for so long. hearing "iced down medallions" on a doo wop mixtape in late 96 had me feening for this album though and i wasn't disappointed.
