I bought this around July 23rd 2000, because I went to see What Lies Beneath when I was a kid by myself, the same night, and ran home after, to play this cd. But, I was still spooked from the movie lol
I remember reading the XXL review, and it was about right. Sounds great, some of it, 20 years later, but a lot was pretty uninspired, the X track wasn't really a good track, and the Lox pretty much held the whole album down.
"WW3", "Got It All" "Holiday", "My Name Is Kiss", and "Go Head" were the fire tracks. Jada's verse on Go Ahead, was taken as a puff shot at the time, and SP verse on Holiday about Beanie Sigel/Black Rob, but who knows?
