Definitley a classic album, although I'd say there was 1-2 skippers on it. Westward Ho, King of The Hill, Bow Down & G's Make the World Go Round are my personal favorites.
That Hoo Banging WSCG style was dope simply for that beat being better quailty than the original.

If not classic, it's still a great album that is underappreciated by the rest of the country, and by rap fans who didn't get into rap until 97 and on.

One of the dope things about it is that it actually had more of an East coast influence than most of the G-Funk sounding albums at the time, but it gave the album a much darker feel. Low key, this sound may have even inspired Dre's post-Death Row style.

at least a 4.5/5 it came out it '96 which was a great year for hiphop albums but also after Pac died so the album was a little bit overlooked but it definitely could be considered classic

I love every track from the album but I wouldn't call it a hip hop classic, more like a west coast classic.

A classsic album and historical for the coast. I think the political stance the group and the album took makes it more classic to me. I mean they were bangin on east coast critics, radio stations, other groups, anyone that stood in the way of good west coast music being heard. They took a BIG risk, like WC said in his interview with Nima, it could have been closed shop if that shit did not work. But double platinum I would say the message was heard loud and clear.
