Yogi, last I heard, was on the production tip. I think he was on G-Dep's album if I'm not mistaken. Don't know what happened to the other cats.

I remember buying this album. It was the summer before sophomore year of college. I still break this album out every once in a while.

Great album. Gotta say jeff, you're slowly earning a little bit of respect as a poster.

Great album indeed. I think I still know all the words to "Pronto."

Pretty sure Mighty Ha got locked up, that could be the reason for the sabbatical.

That Violator track was terrible, if I remember correctly. Maybe it's good that they disappeared.

I bought this on tape when it first came out just based off the promotion that it had 30 tracks on a tape which was unheard of for me at the time.

If my memory is accurate, the cd-single contained a remix of "Just Another Case" with the "Mona Lisa" drums on it.
