Plus it had the commercial appeal from stuff like Who Ride Wit Us and Girls All Pause. Bangers for the car. Stuff for the hip-hop heads too. Good production all around. Maybe it's just me, but even though he went hard at DMX, the song was a little underwhelming to me from a lyrical standpoint since we got the Xxplosive type Kurupt on that one. But now that I think about it, I recall even doing a Spanish presentation on this album.Kuruption was an interesting concept with the two discs but it had too much filler. He was a little ambitious with the double disc thing for a solo debut - I remember Krayzie Bone getting criticized for the same thing when he put out Thug Mentality 1999. But I rarely played the second disc, and I think I only cared to listen to that bonus track with Noreaga.I always loved "The Life" track off the East Coast disc. I remember being in some thick ass depression during 98' and I'd spending a lot of time just staring out my bedroom window with that track on repeat and it'd take my mind to some far off place.Bad Azz album came out around the same time and "The Last Time" was another sentimental track for me.East Coast Disc is slept on...definitely some bangers on there just wish he could have got Pete Rock to at least give him one beat

Better than any daz album. Except for R.A.W. which is a classic for me.
I'd say Streetz Iz A Mutha is the equivalent to Daz's RR&BBKurupt's Space Boogie is equivalent to Daz's RAW.That's the DPGs solo best works.
Bad Azz's first album was good but it wasn't a classic.

I wrote one, I was very tough, and I still had like 60 albums. And I didn't put in a lot of ones you thought I should, which would have put it at like 100. So I'd like to see yours.
To me, classic is only about quality of music .. Impact etc doesn't mean shit to me, because I don't give a shit what other people think. Most people are stupid as fuck. If it slaps front to back with no filler and I can play it every day of my life, it's a classic.

The what are classic albums to you. Like to me, I have Streetz Iz A Mutha as a personal and street classic. But I don't consider it a straight Hip-Hop classic because I can argue about it's weak points and weak songs. Like Represent That GC, which honestly is one of my favorite songs to listen to, even to this day, where he raps the same words over and over and has maybe the most simple bars I've heard from Kurupt. So to me, it's a solid album, but not really a classic.
