 Rating:  - timelessI cant say enough good things about this cd.To me, this and public enemy's apocalypse 91 are the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

A lot of the songs here are serious like "Lifesyles Of The Rich And Infamous" and "Mic Contract". The latter song ...

I owned this on tape years ago and forgot just how great of an album this was until I recently purchased the CD. A must have for the true ol' school, gangsta rap fan. |
