I could see the argument on why one wouldn't consider flesh of my flesh a classic. I think the classic tracks on it make up for the duds.

Swizz is not even a top 20 producer all time.

Not saying Dame Grease is but as far as hard hitting beats goes, its got more umf these days than loops old samples....
Nonsense if they did a battle of the beats, swizzz would make him kneel quickly.
II don't know what u mean by "hard hitting".
But as far as dope memorable beats, swizz, easily, no contest.
We can start listing records if you wanna get shut down or you could fall back on your own.

Ehh maybe. After grand champ his subject matter got redundant. People didnt take to the whole Bloodline movement like that. Grand Champ should have been his last true and he should have just stayed in that acting bag and just dropped loosies for a while. He had Hollywood by the balls for like 3 years. He really should be a a Mogul
before I knew about Dee and Waah and all them I thought he ran ruff ryders because he was the face of the label and because he was on fire musically and in cinema. I wish he faced his demons and got clean, he should've been more well-off.

Me too. Also people in hindsight don't always factor in that the album was released barely 6 months after his debut album. I know now days people drop full albums in short time spans but in the late 90's it's crazy that an album got a budget approved, recorded in a huge studio, mixed, mastered, all that, on DEF JAM, and released in time for Christmas. X's debut album wasn't a 1st quarter release either. It came out right around summer time I think.
