"Jealousy" was mad old too, they could have done a swap with that one.

It was one of the best tracks on the album though, the beat is :o

In the case of "Jealousy", at least it was never released and I have to agree that it was one of the best songs on the album.

It was DR classic to me. I felt almost every track on there...Mark Sparks deserves his props. He got beats 8)

ah man I remember back when I copped the album the first week it came out... I wasn't big on Kurupt at the time and had not heard one song off the album, and this was actually the first album I bought from him

my favorite tracks back then were "Anarchy '87", "Throw Back Muzic '86", "Jealousy", "Calico", and "U Fuckin' With The Best"... overtime "Deep Dishes" and "Tha Past" became my shit too

like others said in here

I thought Kurupt's flow was really off on a lot of the tracks. I wouldn't call it a BAD album, but Gotti can do better.

I think for all the hype surrounding it, it didn't quite match the expectations and that's why it never got an overly-incredible reaction. Death Row more or less threw it out when Kurupt left the label. It's a collection of really good songs but it's not quite the "Death Row comeback" album that everyone was hoping for.

True, but it was still one of the best rap album of 2005. It's just a shame it wasen't released with the diss tracks cause it could be a classic 8)


I've put out my own version and burned myself a copy - it looks like this:

01. Intro
02. 02. Speak On It (feat. Val C)
03. Anarchy '87
04. Throw Bacc Muzik '86
05. Deep Dishes
06. U Don't Know Who U Fuckin' Wit' (feat. Kokane)
07. Against Tha Grain (feat. Eastwood & Y.A.)
08. Jealousy (feat. Roscoe & M.O.P.)
09. Tha Past (feat. Dave Hollister)
10. My Homeboys [Back To Back] (feat. 2Pac & Eastwood)
11. I Did't Change
12. Calico (feat. Dayton Family)
13. No Vaseline Part 2
14. One Thangs Fo Sho' (feat. Danny Boy)
15. Boss Me Up (feat. Roscoe, Eastwood & Crooked I)
16. Hustlin' (feat. Big Tri & Young Tone)
17. Holocause 3000 [Tha Row Symphony] (feat. Eastwood, Spider Loc & Gail Gotti)
18. Eat A Dicc [Fuck Daz] (feat. Eastwood)

That looks like a better line up

Take some tracks from the album, from the E.P. and the "Originals" compilation and you would have had an classic album.

I def agree with you my friend; which is why it did not meet expectations to a certain degree.

I enjoyed it,his performance was so-so but lets face it he fell off even further after this came out.I always thought that stalkin if pushed as single could have blown up.

I 2nd that, the beat is 8).

I like this album, but when it was released everyone had already left DR. Nothing backed it up and it didn't really look like they were going to support their next artist (which back then was Petey Pablo). Despite the hype, I think most people gave up on DR seeing as they failed to release Crooked I's album.
