    You could say this album came out too late... I think it came out just at the right time when real hip-hop was in it's weakest state. Snap, Crunk & Trap rap were flooding the airwaves. Plus this kicked off the Vs. concept for Muggs (and other who were inspired even to this day)

    The real hip-hop is timeless and doesn't age. This album is no exception.

        This had potential to be a great album but it came about 7 or 8 years too late, they should have struck while the iron was hot nomsayin. The remix album is a load of shiznits
