Classic, without a doubt. And it was clear at the time of its release. 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 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.
