This album was a backpacker classic in '94... when the internet message board game kicked off around '97'-'98, all of the rap nerds mentioned this album as a masterpiece.

[@bklyncrook]

No joke. It was this and Freestyle Fellowship's Griot on msg board.

I Love This... Prince Po needs his Due as Well. Heavily undermentioned in discussions. Even though, Pharoahe is a God Emcee. Prince Pos Style isn't 2 be slept On

[@ChiefRxcka]

I feel bad for Po a little bit lol. It's kinda like Big Boy being Andre 3000's rhyme partner. He's dope as hell, but when you're rhyming with super out of this world God level, unrealistically talented emcees like 3k or Pharaoh? You don't get your jus due.

A classic moment in hiphop.This touched my soul also when I saw it on Video Music Box. "Open Your Eyes" off there 1st album is still relevant today.Great content guys

[@Drainos2006]

Still have the original pressing of OK from 91 on cd ... classic album... got it for xmas back in 91 along with Hijack (from England) and Del's first album. Great times!

[@LetTheRecordShowTV]

Funny how we remember those early CD gifts of classic albums..

[@toma343]

The bar is so high.

[@BoChosen]

Are you buggin'???... Equinox was official too. I challenge anyone saying otherwise to revisit it. Fire...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LetTheRecordShowTV]

Bet it has aged well. A lot of old albums that were met with lukewarm responses when they came out sound better now, like Black Sheep Non Fiction...

[@Wes36Man]

The Equinox is a dope album I always thought

[@clarktownsend8991]

It was a total concept album which was hard to digest back then

[@funk8080]

This is what we heard before we herbed! Word!

[@MrIlleism]

Only real hiphop

[@MrRKlef]

Pharoahe monchs verse on Stress, thirteen and prisoners of war gave me the motivation to become just as good as he is

[@oneandonlytyler1]

TRUE STORY

[@castroleiro]

The Stress Remix...."Yo is the verbal assault weapon with words uncanny/you can boo me but I cannot fuck with Rudy Guliani/Press the panic button shits its the schizophrenic, can it/i can kill it from the west coast to the Atlantic"......

[@forevershampoo]

Ohhh yea thats that shit

[@sandrothesandro]

[@LetTheRecordShowTV]

It's French Montana "Bring Dem Things", prod. Harry Fraud

[@OracleTheRonin]
