Hell On Earth questionnaire

This is one of many albums that's been part of my collection since it's release (I had the cassette first, then once I stopped buying cassette, I bought the CD). I was recently bumping this one (in addition to Heltah Skeltah's Nocturnal and OGC's Da Storm, all 3 of these being released in 96) and it's still as incredible as it was back in 96 when it came out. I've decided to create this questionnaire just for this album.

Damn skippy, you Mexican hippie! And don't front like you ain't a stan for certain artists

And Wayne yeah I noticed that error and corrected it before I read you response.

LOL @ KJ for getting the albums mixed up.

As for me:

5 star rating for this album.

2 of my favorite songs are GOD Pt. III and Still Shining.

Best guest appearance goes to Meth on Extortion.

Best beat is probably Still Shining.

Of course I remember In The Long Run, lol. Tight beat on this one. Noyd, Hav, and P dropped some decent verses.

Best Prodigy on this album, IMO, would be a tie between Nighttime Vultures and Apostle's Warning.

I've always been a fan of this album, obviously, but I never thought it was better than The Infamous.

I was spinning It's Mine a few minutes ago so that's why I had it on the brain. And fuck Pedro, he's just as big of a K-Rino stan as I am a Nas stan. He's just too much of a pussy to admit it.

5 stars

GOD III, More Trife Life

I like Raekwon's verse a lot. It ties in with the verse he dropped on the War Face track for Bounty Killer.

More Trife Life is my favorite beat. Dark and simple. That creaking rope noise is just nasty.

I knew nothing about the Murray diss track. Thanks for exposing that. It works great with the album. I still have my original copy, I'll have to get that on my ipod.

Drop A Gem On 'Em is P's best verse.

I do like this better. Way better. I can't even remember the last time I felt like hearing Infamous, to be honest.

"He's just too much of a pussy to admit it. "

this is so damn hard, like Terry said Infamous probably reached higher highs but i think this album is more consistent, mainly because P is on another level, he is spazzing all over this entire album. I probably play it more than The Infamous but they're both among my favorites
