it's true.

most cats i knew were like "who's this cat with b.i.g. and az in his video?"

i felt the same although, my main question was why does this dude have those dots (umlauts) in his name?

he got alotta play on rap city and yo! with the o.g. dead presidents vid then with ain't no nigga but '96 was such an ill year for hip-hop than he got lost in the mix...the nutty professor placement is pretty much what saved his career. dude was slated for slept-on "what coulda been" status and going back to hustling if that shit didn't blow up imo.

in retrospect, it's a great album (not classic imo but it's close) and I slept hard but shit most ppl did cause of all the iller and more impactful east coast shit that dropped that year.
