The Album could be considered ahead of it's time to oustsiders (oustside the bay) because no one was really paying attention to this hyphy movment.
Rick Rock did introduce a new sound on that Album and i believe if that album was to drop today, it would probably have better sales. Plus, that shit is a classic in my opinion.
But from what i've been hearing, "it's whatever" is going to shit all over the album. And persoanlly, I think RICK ROCK is saving his best prodction on this album.
the beats he did on the e40 album were amazing, but i think he has something way more spectacular for his group.
