[TheCodeineKid]

Calma te...de te calmo

[KoldShadow]

Wow, I'm astonished as hell that I'm just commenting on this track now. "1st Infantry" was a classic commercial debut for ALC, and this is easily my favorite. All artists involved on this joint were in a fucking zone when they concocted this motherfucker, COT DAMN! "I'll still put a hole in a goon, Jada Montega, still put a hole in a spoon, pay da bond lata . . ." . . . Styles & Sheek put it down 4 sho, but Kiss straight SPAZZED . . . Al + L-O-X = BONAFIDE BANGA

[Robin88Aces]

The West Coast dont barely know the name of our band, thats why i spit enough heat to give a nigga a tan.

[belingafred]

[LaneD83]

"I hurt the game, hurt ravines

Soon as you murk something these niggaz'll churp genene"

[james1981h]

THE ALCHEMIST IS SO DOPE.HE IS A REAL DJ,WITH BEATS THAT HANG WITH RZA<3

[eddiea219]

@blazee420 jus like i said!! alc 1 of the most underrated producers, lotta muhfuckas dont know who alc is. he dont get the recognition he deserve for makin the heat he make.

[PrimeNoble]

Jada' with the hot rhymes...he go hard as fuck!...he said:

"...shit is real I put the inf on the four keep it wit me cause possessions 9/10ths of the law here I am goin' all out again doin' all that I can even had a daughter born outta sin nigga I make pain cinematic I spit dope and you been a addict treat beef like jail summertime somethin' big with the scope under the winter jacket I use the winter tactics and I know you tryin' to play the role but bullets the wrong shit to interact wit..."

[tequillaroze7]

yo !! type in [ ALCHEMIST SLAVE MUSIC ] its a raw album !!

[TheVisionXLII]

"i hurt the game, hurt ravine, soon as u merk somethin these niggaz will chirp janine" most of yall probably got no idea what he talkin about!

[dmarlic]

@TheVisionXLII ...ha ha, you right. I love Jada and I don't know what he is talking about. Please tell me sun.

[TheVisionXLII]

@dmarlic

i think u gotta b from y.o 2 catch that line. Ravine is a dope block and Jeanine is Jeanine pirro she was the westchester county d.a. If u chirp jeanine u snitchin

[dmarlic]

@TheVisionXLII ....Good lookin out, may Allah bless you and yours.

[SdotLondonSayNoMore]

Yeah when they were with Bad Boy but since then no they haven't

[JonBreeze]

Now they are back with Bad Boy, are you expecting the same? :D

[anto1982]

I didn't know that because I don't follow hip hop anymore I just like listening to the older stuff from the 90's and early part of the 2000s. I doubt that they go back to the style they had when they first got signed to Bad Boy though.

[MrKoolkid3000]
