This album touches a little bit on the beef that he had with Nas but for the most part with this album he moved on from it and only mentioned it once or twice.

Long story short, he was in the group The Firm with Nas and Nas replaced him for this dude Nature while Cormega was locked up. Cormega and Nas are so similar with their lyrics, beats and flows. Cormega should have been bigger than he was but he was more popular on the underground.

"You my nigga when you hot and when the temperature change
Now we enemies - 'til we entered the grave
When I got signed to Def Jam, I offered you ten grand
You say you didn't want it then you started actin funny
It started with the cover, of YSB
A picture of The Firm - everyone except me
Then my boys disappeared, all fly and familiar
That's when it was clear to me there wasn't no real love
I was out The Firm, unless I signed a production deal
which I didn't do, cause son that wasn't real
I was never jealous of you, in fact I was proud of you
I smiled when I heard you on _Live at the Barbeque_
I respect you as an artist though I'm no longer fond of you
I gave you love from the heart - unlike the people surroundin you"

Those lyrics are from "Love In Love Out"

I can see myself listening to this album again in the future but not only this one the album before called The Realness as well.

Stand out tracks for me were True Meaning, Verbal Graffiti, Take These Jewels and Love In Love Out.
