    It seems like half the album is skits where he whinges "niggers this" and "niggers that" about 50 times then "ya know what I am saying" about 50 times. Mate, I haven't got a fucking clue what you are saying but it sounds you should learn to chill a little! Music bits are dope though.

        This is without any doubt one of the best hip hop albums of all times. This pressing has plenty of bass which is great for this sort of music. Bought mine twenty years ago. This album does not have a single bad song on it. They are all timeless classics. This is REAL hip hop. [ Playing this using an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge ]

            A nice present to recapture the 1995 days into a modern day classic to reminisce about. To talk really and unite.

              Anyone know if the discs of this release come in paper or plastic inner sleeves?

                      I love the whole Wu, all their debut solo efforts were timeless, IMO its a toss up between this and Liquid Swords
