Royal Flush-Ghetto Millionaire is a underrated solid album
- Thread starter Cole Cash

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
family problems (my fav. cut, that story and the beat are
)
iced down medallions
illiodic shines
regulate
shines
what a shame
iced down medallions
worldwide
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.

the beat for family problems is off of the pawnbroker soundtrack by quincy jones, its a prized possesion of mine, but to let you know, who sampled has it kind of fukked up, the song is mostly a sampled of "rediculous scene" only the last half is "dont fly its foggy"
this whole album is just on another level
@FreshAIG give your take on the album
I love the album. I'm just mad "Rotten Apple" isn't on it.
Worldwide was the best response record to "NY NY" imo
the cac mamba
Banned
this hidden track tho
NV-ME
Make It Hot-ta
first i heard flush was with mic g, but never paid close attention until my cousin in NC had a doowop tape where he pretty much flipped the regulate verse over some old school breakbeats.
bought this album from best buy while my man went straight to the stand they had set up for the weekly no limit release. i believe mean green or some artist dropped that week and my boy was like
"why you getting that when you can get this no limit joint for $9.99?"
anyway, like someone else said, this was around the time where every mc dropping from queens was thorough. this album had really underrated production. the quincy jones sample, sunshine hasn't been flipped that unique since. story telling and street commentary tempered by the modest glorification just gave the project a uniform flow. to bring it back full circle, nas/az and face/rae often get that nod for best duo's of the golden era, but flush and mic g going back and forth was always so natural (npi) and underrated.

alchemist flipped it real solid on bring em hell by prodigy recently intergrating it with the roy ayers track "i just love you" off of come into knowledge.
but you gotta understand im not from new york so guys like royal flush got no burn out here in 1997, infact my exposure to new york at that point was smif and wessun, wu, sunz of man, killa army, mobb deep, nas, jigga, big etc
the secondary queens mcs like infamous mobb, flush, mic geronimo, the only way you were hearing that out here was if you got the mixtape shops and copped shyt.
Albums crazy overlooked and underrated. In addition to the joints already posted, this Buckwild joint was a banger. I love songs about clubbing that have an air of authenticity about them. Not that over the top, I've got 100 bottles type stuff they play nowadays.
EZ Elpee's tracks were great. Family Problems 
Buckwild, Beatminerz, L.E.S. the prod lineup was great. Flush held it down for the most part, not a personal fav but this album was ill

Royal Flush was only 17 years old when this album dropped btw
his best joint ever is Rotten Apple.
REdefinition
Superstar
GTFOH.Dope album though. It shows how much better hiphop was back then when albums of this quality were randomly dropping and it was considered normal.
