Madvillainy

Watch the interview with Joe Budden. The one when they was on the roof talking. When Joe asked about Fetti he shouted out Alchemist. But said “I wish spitta would’ve helped me promote the damn thing!

WATTBA aged well as it still sounding contemporary but there is not one verse on that album maybe minus the last track that is even close to memorable.

[@MontanaDior]

@@ugmcfj This is subjective and probably just your opinion. People still very much recite Drake’s entire verse on “Diamonds Dancing” and Future’s on “live from the gutta”, which trend about every 9 months lol. Jump man & Big Rings, still ring off in the clubs. But, again it’s subjective…

@@MontanaDior bro who’s people? You are right it is subjective but WATTBA will not go down in hip hop history books.

WTT with murder for excellence alone shits on that whole project and will for decades to come.
