[@mbeas9612]

Agree. 1999 was special with the return of Dr. Dre with his classic '2001' album while an young and hungry Eminem broke out with his amazing Slim Shady LP album. Cash Money, Rocafella, Ruff Ryders, Aftermath, Murda Inc, Bad Boy, Rawkus and No Limit were the hottest rap labels while Nas and Mobb Deep ran QB and Mos, Pharoahe, Roots and MF Doom brought heats.

The whole album is so good! Probably top 10 hip hop album I've ever heard. The beat on this song is great, yet it's probably the 4th or 5th best song on this CD. That's how good the entire album is.
