Sorry - was an obscure reference to the time Big Juss signed up to the HHI messageboards to take a reviewer to task after they ripped into the Plantation Rhymes/Gafflin Whips EP.

Postcards from the Third Rock dropped in 2008 and Behold dropped in 2007, which would remove both from contention. His older stuff is dope, but I don't know about Top 100 of that era.
