[Goldie]

Dropped 11 years ago today

​

 

[FakeOhMars]

One of his worst

 

[ChiGetTheMoney]

Nah

Great album, said what needed to he said at the time, still rings true today but I hate that he reused the title track beat

I know it's a small thing but it irks the fuck outta me

MOB is one of his top 3 intros

 

[Goldie]

CS the intro being one of the illest, once it comes on to this day the bass makes a nigga :wdf2:

 

[Goldie]

I'm on the fence with this one, cuz I like every song on it, but idk if I'd call it a classic.
