2600936, not really, that album was the only five-mic Source album of the decade

before the bullshit payola Lil Kim part at the end of the mag's run, it was a Top 5 Pop Billboard album, had a couple singles that got bigger rap-radio/video play than Face has gotten for two singles off one album in his career (My Block, Guess Who's Back) and received a strong promotional push with Face being Def Jam South prez plus got lots of 'make up call' love from critics.
If anything, that album is overrated, considering it's a 40 minute & change album that falls off in the second half badly with two many slow/conflicted-gangsta/spiritual/KellyPrice/Faith cuts in a row.
But it's certainly not 'slept-on' more like people calmed down from the bandwagon-treatment it received on its release to let it come back to earth a bit.
