The Firm album wasnt that bad...

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

I'm on a drive to St. Louis right now (going to be street performin freestylin on the street corners for change) and anyway I'm bumpin the Firm album, this shit really ain't bad.

It starts off blazin with a couple of Dre produced joints.  Everyone already knows "phone tap" is a certified banger.  Then the album falls alseep and loses focus as Foxy Browns fine ass drops a few filler tracks in the middle.

Canibus brings the album back to life.  "5 minutes to flush" is pretty dope, then the Canibus joint is otherworldly dope, later in the album CNN makes a dope guest appearance, and then finally the album finishes on a high note with AZ and the gods blessing the mic on the closing track.

True.

It's a 3.5/5 album for me. It's above average by todays standards.

It wasn't "bad" in the traditional sense, but for what a collaboration between those artists could have been it was.

 I remember it being pretty good they just really really really fucked up with "firm biz" and i think there was another shitty song or two very similar.
 Had too much hype was never going to live up to expectation. Plus nature replacing cormega was always going to be an issue.

I like the album, shits on most albums released these days.

Exactly, fuckers cant leave well enough alone

Yeah, that's why I would never call it a bad album. It's just pretty weak that such huge figures in hip hop could only come up with that.

Exactly. It should have been an amazing album.

I actually missed that part. What's the appeal in St. Louis?

Yeah with NAS, AZ and Dre coming off their recent albums and the hype around foxy shit should have been classic. The single roll out was horrible as well and really fucked up the hype.

St. Louis has no appeal really.   It's just that I wouldn't feel free busking in my own city.  I want to be in an unfamiliar place where nobody knows me, free of expectation and all inhibition...

...So that I can enter the city like a jinn from a long-forgotten time, have people witness something they've never seen before, and then disapear into the night like a ghost, leaving them to wonder if what they saw was really real.
