Are they any good? Trackmasters did the J-Kwon Tipsy song right?

And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes

And like they say, God works in a mysterious way
So I pray, remembering the days of my youth
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth"

Trackmasters have done some of the greatest ever tracks, they are one of the best.

The album sold good units, but reviews wernt hype. I wouldnt say it flopped. But it wasnt as good as was expected. Same with the 1st Aftermath Compilation.

Listen to the lyrics of "Forgot About Dre" one more time man, he doesn't say he thought the album flopped, but the fans claimed that.

All you niggas that said that I turned pop, or The Firm flopped
Y'all are the reason that Dre ain't been gettin' no sleep.

I like the album, but it was definitely under people's expectations. "Desperados" is a classic track though. Canibus ripped that shit:

Fuck my record label, I appear courtesy of myself 8)

so i guess we can all agree that it wasnt a flop? It was a good album, but it didnt perform to expectations?

Not performing to expectations is what a flop is.  Yes, it was a good album but it flopped.

Nature should of been replaced by Cormega.

It was an alright album with some good songs i dont know what everyone was moaning about.

If Dre had just produced a whole Nas album instead 8)

Y'all talking like it is a classic of something. The album is like 4 dope songs and the rest is garbage. And Dre did not get involved that much.

And some of y'all should know by now that a good album does not guarantee good sales. Sadly.

LoL? You drunk? Nobody said it's even close to classic, everybody said it was a good album under everyone's expectations. Sadly.

Hittman is not a real person. He was a computer program generated by Dr. Dre and Mel Man back in the mid 90's. When Dre started treating Mel-Man like shit, Mel infiltrated the computer and put a virus in the hittman program
