3 of the dopest

Do you mean those are the top 3 songs from the East Coast in your opinion? "The Firm" had some good material on it but best 3 of all times? Oh hell nah.

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

I don't get what that means. It was 10 years ago and today people aren't making Goodfellas rip offs in the form of albums.

Word.  I mean, I personally enjoyed the album, it had it's moments, Canibus had an excellent guest appearance on there, and no doubt "Phone Tap" is a huge banger!.  But the whole Mafioso thing was a little overdone to me, I mean, I understand it was a concept album, but even Dre admits it kind of fell short and didn't meet it's full potential.  Either way, it is what it is, and I've always liked the album even to this day.

BTW, the best Nas, Dre collabo will always be "East Coast/West Coast Killa" which is one of the most legendary and under-rated tracks in hip-hop history.

So true, personally one of my fav's from that late 90's jiggy/mafioso era, concept album that falls flat in places, and does get bland at times ("Fuck Somebody Else"... WTF was that shit?) I always said since day one, if that album had been produced 100% by Dre, it woulda been a different story

...don't forget that this was the first time Dr. Dre & Mel-Man started producing together....

[Jaydc]

I think this will go down in hip hop as one of the most dissapointing albums of all time.

Cormega should have been still in the group,hes easily better then everyone except nas,and personally I think hes on nass level,he might not reach the peaks that nas does but hes wayyyyy more consistent.

As for the album,the trackmasters ruined it for me,their producting was awful 80 pecent of the time,dont know how those guys were big.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah should have been much better.....and maybe canibus in the group also

...don't forget that this was the first time Dr. Dre & Mel-Man started producing together....
