    I always liked the big ass rolling paper that came with the cheech and chong record. Don't try to smoke it by the way, that shit's harsh.

    Those Big Mack joints were my shit, and the Biggie songs on that CD were great - versions that were never released because of sample clearance. Shit, does anyone have those joints? I would love to hear that "Me and My Bitch" version with the Minnie Riperton sample.

    I can get it.
    the intro had different songs behind the skits.

    Yeah it did, and didn't it have that song with Sadat X as well.

    I get those tracks confused with the Ron G mixtapes for that year which had all the Biggie shit on it.

    my crime mob "knuck if you buck" miniature boxing glove (made out of the stress squeeze ball material) is particularly beloved, along with this glitter-ink young jeezy snowman tee that's like 80 sizes too big for me.

    also have fond memories of the old dirty bastard promo poster (the cardboard joints for outdoor street team posting) for his 2nd album that's just him giving the finger, the text "still flippin" and maybe the release date.
