This is, hands down, one of the best albums in my collection. That my not sound much at first, but my collection also contains such classics as Dr Dre's 2001 and The Chronic and 2pac's All Eyez on Me. The reason why this album is so good is because Ja Rule manages to contrast his harsh, scratchy voice with soulful, tuneful melodies and fantastic singers to match, resulting in the perfect mix. Songs that stand out on the album are 'Always On Time' with Ashanti, 'Dial M for Murder', and of course, the incredibel 'Im Real' with J.Lo. This album should be in any hip hop fan's collection, as it is one of the best albums of 2001.
