Everyone loves Mama Said Knock You Out, but I've always been a Bigger & Deffer man myself. One of the first albums I got hooked on and knew the words front to back. This album still gets played in its entirety at least once a year by me.
Yeah I remember the summer this album came out. There were no Hip Hop & R&B stations. Just R&B stations or Top 40 stations. But the college radio stations would have a 2 or 3 hour show on the weekends. I'm from right outside of Boston, MA and there's a ton of colleges in Boston.
So the summer that Bigger and Deffer came out I was 13. I wasn't old enough to have a job so I pretty much stayed home and watched TV. Then I'd stay up late at night to catch the college Hip Hop shows on the radio.
If you consider that there were about 4 or 5 college stations that played Hip Hop, you can only imagine how big this album was. They'd play 2 or 3 songs from the album and then another station would play 2 or 3 more songs from the album. After about a week I'd heard every song off the album just by listening to different college radio stations.
It was also the same summer as Paid In Full and Criminal Minded. The college stations played the shit out of those albums too.

I still remember back in the day being the only person at school with Bigger & Deffer and Raising Hell on cassette, EVERYBODY wanted to borrow them shits.

FOR EVERY DOPE ALBUM HE PUT OUT...A WACK ONE ALMOST ALWAYS FOLLOWED.
I still remember taping this performance as a kid, live, when there was no internet and it was rare to see a rapper on tv....moms bugged tha fuck out when she realized i taped over the beginning of one of her soap operas.

I disagree, he only went into overdrive on that lovey dovey shit once he seen I Need Love blow up. Then that style became his bread & butter.
