-
amazing album. did this actually come out in 1995? this is the only source I can find for that, everywhere else says February 1996 -
-
If only Lord Finesse would have recorded songs with the artists he featured on the interludes. SMH. Too much filler, not enough killer. This album is dope, but could have been dope-ER.
