Would've been an excellent album if it was cut in half and tossed every skit that wasn't Shaolin What in the bushes

Good album. Was the Era of the epic, 21+ track opus rappers were dropping.

did The Doggfather start that? i dont know when that became a thing, but it usually led to filler

i love this album, always have. could understand Cradle Rock/Retro Godfather/Break Ups not being favorites, but everything else was really dope. True Master and RZA's shyt was amazing, good additional stuff from Havoc, Deck and Sermon. 4th Disciple got screwed out of a full credit for the title track, Meth wasnt a producer. and honestly Break Ups wasnt bad for the single, Meth had already had a little bit of a chick audience, thought the beat was smooth and D'Angelo is obviously a great get for any hook

guests were on point, i think the anticaption for the album caused some people to want almost too much

Rappers were dropping double albums and shyt, it was basically who could make the most bloated album it seemed.

Redman had like what, 22,23 tracks on muddy waters than another 23 on docs the name.

Doggfather had like 21 tracks and came out in 96, so yeah mightve been one of the first.

Like everyone's said, remove the skits, some of the beats were a little sparse/bare bones & a couple of songs could be kicked off, but, overall, a really dope album.

Also Shaolin What should have been a 15 minute long posse cut.

One of the biggest let downs for me personally. Not because the music was horrible but because it wasn't Tical, which is one of my favorite albums ever. If it was named Method 2000, Mr Meth, Ticalion Stallion, or anything other than 'TICAL 2000' it would have been fine. That's why I hate when rappers do a sequel of a classic album.

Agree. You know what else?

It didn't help that it was sandwiched between two dope Wu Solos around that same time.
That same year I know, Cappa dropped The Pillage which was surprisingly dope. Then this came,
and it wasn't as good imo - then RZA dropped Bobby Digital. Meths album was sandwiched by two
projects I fucced wit' waaaay more.

Damn I do remember Doggfather having a shyt load of songs as a kid

It was weird because the album sounded nothing like Doggystyle and a weird dark vibe to me
