I picked this album up 2 weeks before it's release date back in 2004 (music store fukked up and put it on the shelves early), and have listened to it countless times since then, most recently being today, this album in my opinion has aged very well and being a fan of Royce's darker music this to me was and is still piff. Anyone else fukk with this album still or heavy back in the day?

Hands down the BEST ALBUM of the 00's IMO

This was the first Royce album i picked up and it CHANGED MY LIFE forever! Can't even begin to describe the day i went to best buy, the day it came out and thought to myself, should i check this dude out ive been hearing a lot about him. Never looked back ever since. That whole year i would listen to it non-step, felt his anger as i was 19 at the time dealing with BS of my own. Not to mention his flow and delivery, just made him my favorite MC afterwards. Funny how he kind of dissed Joe Budden on here "My wife don't like my album, she said it holds grudges, she rather listen to joe buddens" :russ:

funny thing is Joey became one of my faves as well right after that year and now they in the same group, poetic justice :blessed:

But yeah i don't care what anyone says, this album is a CLASSIC! Premier was the icing of the cake with the "Hip Hop" lead single. "Throwback" is where he just spazzed.

funny quick story, i threw a house party that summer and right around 2 in the morning when everyone is drunk and hype, i put on this album and play "hip hop" and everyone all of sudden starts looking like :jbhmm:

then 5 seconds later :lawd::dj2:

felt like a utopia for a minute there :stylin:

Personal top 5 album for me. Got me into underground rap and Royce quickly became my favorite mc. Still play it to this day along with bar exam 1 & 2.

Royce said:
You tearin our team apart
Though time heals all of our wounds it's still leavin a mark
I took it too far; the feelin
that's hidden deep in my heart, comes out, when I look at the scar
And I can't kill, nobody to get you back
nikka that's somethin that time can't heal
While I'm sayin my grace
I'll be lookin up at the sky, and tellin God that he's makin a mistake
You can't take away one brother and leave the rest of the clique
Lord please, double check yo' list
And if you get to his name and it's a check beside it
Death comes in three's, take me next
.. but don't make me sweat, please
I won't make it, I get restless speculatin
Sons should bury mothers
Every mother don't wanna bury her son, they sayin

Death is not no option
I'm pullin money outta my pocket tryin to con the doctor
Please, treat this thug the way you would treat yo' baby
The way that you would treat yo' blood, I'll pay!
As heavyweight as we are, I know how you medics are
Cause I be checkin ER everyday
I know we are a hairful - but doc
this ain't one of them that came through shot that shoulda been careful
Cause no dude could bleed; the way his heart pumps
more than any patient that rode through that you seen
The reason that he's my man
Cause I tell him if he can hear me to squeeze my hand and he squeezes
.. so I tell him some things
Don't let them machines help you breathe, don't leave from receivin
'Round quarter to eight - his moms is sleepin
His grip weakens, his squiggly lines go straight (go straight)
Call the doctor, "Give him all you got!
Shock him!" He gon' tell you it's too late
Call the doctor, "Give him all you got!
Shock him!" It's too late.....


:wow:
