I don't know about the date, summer 2005 this was out. I feel like it was simultaneous with Trap Or Die, ran the streets summer '05...
I just Wikipedia'd his discog, they say D2 was released September '06 and for a fact that ain't accurate, because I went to jail June 7, 2006 and ain't get out for 3½ years, and we were playing D2 in April, possibly March. For sure in April though...
Dedication was on the street around July/August '05 and D2 was on the street around March/April '06...
One of these days I'm gonna start a 2005 appreciation thread, some great music came out that year...
Dedication is classic though and has aged beautifully. So has D2, really Wayne in his prime from '04 to '11 can throw that legacy on the table with anyone...
