    only now realizing that dice raw and beanie sigel's verses are switched on here to match the initial vision of giving dice raw the explosive last verse a la busta on "scenario." intriguing

      Whats up with these horrible printed inner sleeves? Leaving paper residue/pieces all over the records. Shame on an otherwise excellent pressing/product.

          Got a NM second hand copy, nice all round package, no sound issues sounds great and the discs of extras is an interesting listen

            GZ strikes again. Numerous pressing issues on disc 2, massive crackle and pops across last two tracks on C and D. Literally looks like chemical burns on the vinyl. Completely unacceptable for the outrageous price they are charging for this set. So sick of this.

              Any chance they are going to get a release up for the clear limited and numbered version of this box set?
