10. "That album was always seen as MoT lite so I’m surprised that" In response to In response to 9
You say you didn’t like it because you wanted it to be more like MoT.
The Ownerz is a good album and imo rightfully takes a little heat for trying to replicate MoT while not being as good.
Capture wasn’t as good as Militia Guns wasn’t as good as BI vs Friends Skills wasn’t as good as Steez Rite Where You Stand wasn’t as good as Above the Clouds Krumb’s feature wasn’t as potent (how could it be?) Eulogy was In Memory Of 03 In This Life wasn’t as strong as Scandelous
I say all this while really liking every song I just mentioned from Ownerz. But they did come off in 03 as an attempt to capture the same magic on MoT.
Ownerz also has some other high points like Zonin’ and Peace of Mind.
So I completely see why in 03 the album seemed like, maybe not a disappointment but more run of the mill and how it would sound very good listening now.
Definitely a good way to go out considering no one knew that would be the last.
