[@dillinguuur79]

He's on such a higher plane of consciousness than anybody in the room, everybody always thought he was acting either fucked up or joking around and shit but 99.9% of the time he was saying the most serious shit about real shit that he was really dealing with and he was not fucking clowning around. It breaks my heart to see how most folks think of him as some clown addict. Dude was deeper than anyone before or sense. If you want to see what I mean watch any old interview from the first 2 albums years that has Method Man and Dirt in it. Get back with me about who the fucking clown is and always has been.

My older brother was waiting for a rap radio show to record the songs on a cassette. I liked everything about the album, the photo on the cover, that crazy long exhale he was doing in one of the songs, all the unique voices, sounds etc. Had some raw, strong energy I was drawn to.
