CRIP, thx for all your hard work! I'm rediscovering some gems and even hearing some new ones for the first time. Props
Infinite Review of Fanmade (Crip) The Firm Album (As always goes without saying great work on this one Crip)FIRST, A LOOK BACK ON 97' WHEN THE ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASEDFirst let me say that this was one of the more bizarre eras in hip-hop. The hip-hop world was mourning the loss of Big and Pac and lesser acts like Jay-Z, Puffy, DMX, and No Limit were filling the vacuum. Dre loyalists like me were hoping Dre would emerge and restore order but we'd have to wait a couple more years for that when Eminem emerged at Aftermath. This was also the Mafioso era. Death Row kind of spearheaded that stuff you saw the imagery with the way Suge was trying to run his label and Snoop's Doggfather album. It was a depressing era in hip-hop and a depressing time in my own life. I remember getting the album the day it dropped--just on the strength of the Aftermath name--because I wasn't really a fan of anybody else on the album. Even Nas, I wasn't really a fan at the time. I'd loved a couple tracks here and there like "If I Ruled the World" and AZ's "Sugar Hill" but it would be another couple years before I'd really get deep into Nas and other East Coast artists. So the idea at the time for West Coast headz like me was that shit was wack--and that the Firm album was a flop. I was smart enough to realize that "Phone Tap" was a banger. And eventually I was smart enough to figure out that "Desperado's" was also some next level shit. I remember at that time they were toutin' Canibus as being the second coming of Rakim or some shit--he was the next big thing--and I was all in once he came with "2nd Round Knockout" with Mike Tyson....In retrospect there was a ton of great music still being released in this era, and The Firm album was also a dope album looking back...THE BAD...As for this Crip fanmade album...word is Dre said he only really spent like 10 days on this album. There weren't enough Aftermath contributions to really please Dre fans. Crip tried to balance it out a bit here. Up until the "Firm Biz" track it was no real improvement upon the retail release. The Dre contributions were a bit tired... The GOODIt didn't seem like much of an improvement anyway, until you get to "Time" and the last few cuts then it starts to come together and you can see a vision of what this album could've been. Very solid, but not classic.
