"My Life, My World" was a tight song. Should've been on the album.

yeah this album was definitely a letdown after "Restless", like everyone said some dope tracks mixed with some terrible ones...what made it more surprising is that Dre oversaw this project as well if I'm not mistaken

i'd say if they replaced "bk 2 la" with the premo track and "right on" with "hit u where it hurts", u have an album u could play all the way through.

The Gambler is my fav song on that album. Anthony Hamilton drops a sick hook, the beat is awesome, and xzibit slams the track hard.

i agree, it was one of my favs too...not one of the knockers, but one of the smoother joints that went hard.

"the gambler" was/is the shit  8)

and replace "Miss U" with the bangin joint he did for The Wash soundtrack.   Then just strip it down to like 12, 13 joints.... It had a chance to be another classic Xzibit release like his first 3 albums

definitely had classic potential, i cant hate on a song thats a tribute to someones dead mother, tho. its more personal to him than it is to u or me.

Yeah... that album really started off FIRE!!  I mean with that Release date opener leading into him saying, "I'm off to the Studio" and then "Symphony In X Minor" comes in.  Couldn't of gotten off to a better start.  I actually have "Symphony In X Minor" as my ringtone

How many people have used that fuckin same sample? Nas comes to my mind right away.

I like that joint.  I actually consider "Heart of Man" to be one of the bangers on the album.   Love the sample to.  I've been getting back into 80's music from my youth over the past few years and that joint is from Toto "Africa".

The sample has been used 100's of times.  I wonder if that has something to do with whoever owns the copyrights, or if artists just love that sample.   PM Dawn also used it for one of their hits back in the early 90's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss".... that's the only joint I can think of off the top of my head but there's several more.

Had this album been as good as Restless, then Weapons of Mass Destruction would have pushed more units. WoMD is one of the most over looked albums.
