Gravediggaz – Six Feet Deep
Ah damn, been too many albums bought/years passed since then, so I can’t remember. It was between “Chocolate Factory” by R. Kelly or OutKast’s “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.” But now that I think about it, it was definitely Chocolate Factory, Ignition was my theme song at 13 years old, lmfao. First album I could call mine though, was OutKast’s “Big Boi & Dre present…” when I was 11. I haven’t listened to R. Kelly since he came out with the “outta the closet!” shit, but everything else still gets play.
