I just popped 2001 it in my stereo, I checked several times, but I swear Dre says"All you niggaz that said that I turned pop, or The Firm flopped, y'all are the reason that Dre' been getting no sleep, so fuck y'all."That's like the opposite!And please get real. How did The Firm flop? It's been the best charting success in the careers of Foxy as well as AZ and Nature! It had the potential to become something totally unique and at that it failed, but it was still in no way a flop. What premise makes you say it is?I mean, take these names in 97 - Dre, Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ, Mega/Nature. Those are some of the biggest names in the game at that time. Even if it went platinum, most of those cats could have done those numbers in their sleep at that time - shit multi plat (Dre, Nas, Foxy). So in that sense, it was a flop. But it came at a time when Dre was kinda in a rut and trying to find his sound again. I hated the shit Dre did w/ Nas on IWW, it's one of my least favorite joints on the album. And it wasn't just Dre, it was the Trackmasters as well. And keep in mind that NY was really on some popped out, jack 80's joints, mafioso shit, and it was pretty watered down at that time. Remember "Affirmative Action"? That shit was RETARDED. The Firm album should have sounded like that from top to bottom, but these mutherfuckers dropped the ball.But "Firm Biz" was a pretty damn large song at the time. Peeps were bangin that shit when it dropped. But this album came nowhere near it's potential.

I think people werent ready for this album, it was ahead of its time.

"Phone Tap" is a ten and easily the best track on the album, and "Five Minutes To Flush" isn't even in the top 3 best tracks for the album... I put it like this...1. "Phone Tap" 10 out of 102. "Desperados" feat. Canibus- 8.5 out of 103. "Firm Fiasco" 7 out of 10
