I remember people used to argue me down cuz they figured it sold like 4-5 million based on all the play it was getting & for how long. this album was everywhere for closer to 2 years.
these internet dudes don't understand.

You get back what you put out.

Basically how I feel about this album.
Cheech&Chong
rip chinx
That's why I hate streaming. You know how many copies of this album were probably made. Imagine if these guys got paid Everytime you dubbed a tape or song. The numbers would have been ridiculous
Not just this album. CDs I'm general were dubbed all day everyday
Tres Leches
Empire Business
THIS and bootlegs.
I still have the dubbed Fuji cassette, with the handwritten tracklist.
that's why I don't get caught up in sales. especially now when sales aren't even based on sales anymore.
its always impact over sales.

The production was, for it's time, very good. It's just older critics, and older fans, could probably tell, it wouldn't age well, and while that isn't entirely true, I think songs like Blood Pressure, don't have the same intensity that they did in 2000, while songs like Felony nikkas are pretty timeless. A song like Ryde or Die bytch just isn't what I would play in 2020, but at the time, it was hot.
Jadakiss first solo was the same, I loved it, but older fans knew it wasn't a classic, and a lot of the album has aged poorly.
And I doubt Jennifer Lopez ever heard those diss tracks lol

After this performance, someone let their shyt ring off inside the Tunnel. It was closed down all Winter and Spring 00 until finally being back open late summer.
Exactly. Nikkas here heavy on that nostalgia drug. Was a big disappointment in real time. Swizzy fukked it up bad. Go Head off ROD2 and All For The Love off MPR were better than any song herei think i'm one of the few here that rock with the debut more than this. "Money power respect" aged better to me and the title track is better than anything on "We are the streets"
also, how the f*ck is swizz gonna produce the best beat on MPR with "All for the love" but couldn't duplicate anything close to it on "We are the streets"??
about to blast this while i settle in
ROD Vol 1 had way better production than all of the albums you mentioned. FOMFBOMB had better production than WATS and And Then There Was X. Swizz fell off hard and was overworked. PK and Grease usually went in
came thru in a Yellow Lex & hop out with the Air Force 1s with Yellow Checks
