[DonWon313]

this whole album is fire. not 1 track that lacks illness

[skoobdaer]

Keith Murray killed it

[TENBGOL1]

One of the dopest recordings ever made.

[locomotifx]

I love this album. Glad to find this song again! Wish I knew who the female rapper was tho - could never find her on the album notes (?)

[blacknickelson]

@locomotifx Female rapper is Roz Noble who is the sister of one Reginald Noble aka Redman

[locomotifx]

@blacknickelson Why, thankyou. I had to wait over a decade to find that out. Redman's sis? Runs in that family then! :)t

[blacknickelson]

@locomotifx She was also the vocal you heard on the track Tonight's Da Night where it goes "Yo redman man, What da fuck etc....on Whut the Album

Also on Doc's Da Name 2000 the first rapper to spit is her too. Also Erick's sister Kim Sermon also rapped on his Insomnia album the song "On The Regular" by a group named Duo. Kim was part of that.

Also on the Double or nothing sleeve notes says song Tell Em' written by R Kirkpatrick, E. Sermon, K. Murray and R. Noble - stands for Rozlyn, not Reggie

[locomotifx]

@blacknickelson That was interesting, man. I'll know who to ask about all this now!...cheers Loco:)t

[blacknickelson]

@locomotifx Yep thats all good, anything to help a fellow enthusiast - The song on Doc's Da Name 2000 I was reffering to was "Cloze Ya Doorz" but you already knew that. The bit on THIS song when she says "I represent through Mind, Soul and Body" was sampled on the High and Mighty song "Mind, Soul and Body (go figure lol) - if you HAVEN'T heard that one yet - Youtube it. I love THAT song too, generally for the sample usage, but Eon blesses the vocals too. Goodday to Loco T

@Infamous256 was it Sprite LOL? It might be cuz sprite had some ill commercials back in the day. I remember the Freestyle commercials with Nas and AZ and Grand Puba!

[78donjon]

@Tonyillicit No you were rite at first, it was Coke, because at that time their slogan was "Recognize the real", or soething like that. I fell in love with this beat from that commercial, so when the album dropped and it was up there, I thought I'd died and went to heaven...

[Tonyillicit]

This was my shizz back in the day. i remember Coca Cola used this beat for a commercial with Ketih Murray doing the voiceover dopeness!!

[Infamous256]

@Tonyillicit I think it was sprite not coca cola but either way you get props for remembering that.

You Know When You Hear a Dope Ass Sample Thats the Whole Track

[MaadKrusha]

[tybeetv]

This is one of the most underrated, but one of the best hip hop albums of all time.
