By the way, is this on a lable or is it just something some Amazon cockface put together after he got his hands on a stolen laptop?

Pretty sure this is apart of the official release. Forgot the label but it's a real one.

Jean is one of those MC's that I never understood the hype around 'em. The beat gets boring quick, but if this was on an album, I wouldn't skip it.

wouldnt be the first time they have a low-budget ass cover. im one of the few who thinks wolf in sheeps... cover was pretty cool but the second cover was pure ass
song is surprisingly dope though. prefer the beat to birds of a feather. lookin forward

You ever see Dres' solo album, the one with the typo on the CD face that said Grand Grove instead of Grand Groove? Now that sucker was low budget.

:lol: Haven't peeped that.
Not for nothing, but Dres does seem kind of hackish in the studio too. At least from that video that was posted of the other song. Still, I'll check for this though.

The liner notes/cover has the correct spelling. I blame that one on the manufacturer.

LOL. The shots of him blinded by the Sun are downright embarrassing, even for a video that was shot on what looks like a $25 budget (which was used entirely on the piano).

Yeah, pretty dope record. His flow could be a little sharper in spots (kinda sounds like he was doing some one-takes in the studio), but overall, Dres still kills it. Production is surprisingly good too. Still haven't seen the production list for this.
