Did anybody actually like the Dysfunctional Family soundtrack?

[Remedy360]

Yeah, pretty forgettable project overall, although I loved "We Ballin" from Eastwood and Crooked.

[YSH]

nope

[Blood$]

"Tha Row (Y'all Hoes") was a thumper

The Gift was the best solo album out of all the bone thugs solo albums dropped

im not knocking any of Krayzie's stuff or Layzies Thug by Nature cus it was average and Krayzies were above average but The Gift is a classic solid album front to back
i feel that you think it was weak because Bizzy took the christian route that album and dropped songs like Jesus but if you look past that it was really a great album

I disagree.  Strongly.  I still rank Heaven'z Movie over The Gift (though I liked the opening track and that other one that had the electric guitar in the background -- can't remember their names and I don't really feel like looking them up), but I still think Krayzie's Thug on Da Line was a more complete album.  And if he'd have been able to consolidate Thug Mentality 1999 into just one disc instead of two, I might have picked that one.

On almost every song there was Crooked or Eastwood, so for me this fact made CD + great remix Jay'z song (better than original) and nice song from Ashanti.

Did they release any videos from it aside from Still Tha Row?

nothing i know about

It was all Suges fault...... 

People obviously don't know what being blackballed means. People assume Suge just wore a blindfold and purposely flushed his company down the toilet. The album was average with some good tracks but certainly not garbage

Wasn't Still Tha Row released after soundtrack came to stores? I'ts obviously stupid.
This was big dissapoinment - even Snoop's old material sold better (220k+)

But it wasn't on that caliber anyway that would yield a lot of sales.  The actual Row artists themselves weren't really all that well known anyway, except for maybe Kurupt, and it didn't help that LeftEye was going by N.I.N.A., which no one really knew unless you happened to have either read that issue of XXL with Tha Row on the cover (all wearing black and white) or watched that episode of 106 and Park where they showed up (and the mood was all somber).  And the artists who weren't part of Tha Row but did have names (i.e. Jay-Z, Young Buck, Juvenile, Ja Rule, Ashanti) weren't promoting the album either.  I think I was about done with college when this came out, and I really only remember We Ballin being the main track that I could bang in my car.

Despite being blackballed, Suge did try though... remember when he was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Crooked I got to rap and plugged the album ("Dysfunktional Family, the turf is back/ On March [?], please purchase that" or something like that) while Suge talked about Crooked I, Kurupt, Eastwood, etc.  But it didn't help that he was belligerent.

listened to it once when it came out, you can imagine how much i remember of it lol. i remember it being decent though.

i remember this video though

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/eLDVBnZfP3I" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/eLDVBnZfP3I</a>

the hook stuck with me for all these years, caught it being played on the radio the other day i was flabbergasted lol. the song has aged well imo.

[Hack Wilson - real]

Let's not act like "who wants to fuck tonight" and "thought you knew" weren't dope ass songs



same with "i'm back"

[DeeezNuuuts83]

I remember I'm Back damn near always being the song playing in the background of the Death Row website around the time that came out.

Tha Row Yall Hoes

I Know Where I Am Going

call me crazy but "i know where i am going" was almost doper than the rap-tracks.
