    first time i got that killarmy album, was on cassette, you see what i'm saying, i got it in 98, i was kinda late on buying it, but i was up on there shit, i remember rinsing out there shit religiously, you get me fam

    i was in a homeless hostel too and had this shitty mini hi-fi system, so i couldn't rinse it out as loud as i wanted, so i had that shit on a walkman like it was the second coming of christ, you get what i'm saying fam, thats how sick that album was

    it was definetly one of the best albums of 97, its a certified hip hop classic in my book, thats the way i see it, didn't have to skip a tune, the production was 4th disciple at his grimy best, just pure sictrumentals, sick production, plus killarmy as a unit, represented wit it lyrically, there bars were high grade top notch, hip hop quotables for years, you see what i'm saying, sick album, classic

    and they were trying to reach my human being road brothers and sisters wit there lyrics too, steer my people in a positive direction, for real, i big em up for that, everytime, you know this

    yo the first time i heard this album i didn't even know what the fuck i was listening to lol

    i was already deep into wu-tang and the affiliates but never heard any killarmy, but knew it was considered a classic
    the beats were just so unorthodox at first, accompanied with me not knowing who was rapping - couple more listens and i was hooked though
    one of my top 5 albums of all time

    The first time I picked up this album It was in France in 1997. I was student and an huge wu-tang fan. Maybe one the greatest wu fan in France I purchased everything related to the wu, cds, clothes, magazines...
    I really liked this album cuz it was raw, dark and powerful, the very reasons I was a wu fan. 4th disciple was very impressive on wu-tang forever and the second gravediggaz, in this era I thought he could be a second Rza. I got high expectations for this album and when I purchased it I became an happy wu fan these dude were angry (maybe jealous of . wu fam albums released during the 97-98 were ill cuz wu elements and wu fam mcs really ain't nothing ta fuck with.
