Or another highly respected classic, what would it be?

Excluding "The Genisis" I'd have to say "Life's A *****."

I like it, just not as much as the other tracks.

Wow. I'm not sure I know some will say "One Time 4 Your Mind" I've always like that track thought it was underrated.

I think I would choose "Memory Lane" but its a really good song too. But it's the one I would do without.

LOL, it's a hard question. I was listening to it in the car yesterday, and I was like "Damn, there really isn't one weak track on here."

Yeah. I know. AZ's verse is ill. I just never like the beat as much. Don't get me wrong, it's a better song than a lot other album's best. But I dunno, there's something about it that makes me not like it as much of the rest of the album.

Too hard of a question. There are no weak tracks.

I was thinking 'One Time For Your Mind', but i like his laid back flow on that so i thought of 'Memory Lane', but his lyricism is blinding. I'm gonna be controversial and say 'World is Yours'. A classic for sure, but i find myself listening to this the least when i pop this album on.

One Time 4 Your Mind and replace it with the mixed version of Dice Game.
