oh wow "Cold World" gets me every time. Took me years to trace the Stevie Wonder sample.

and "Shadowboxin'" is Method Man's finest moment anywhere.
There's no shame in voting for "B.I.B.L.E."
Also FWIW, I think it was meant as a "bonus track." Like GZA left it to RZA to figure out where to put it, and he didn't know where it would really fit within the album, so he just tagged it on to the end.

(I didn't vote for "B.I.B.L.E." though)

Happy birthday indeed! That really is a stacked track list when you see it laid out in poll form. Surprised that 4th Chamber did not win at the time, considering it is THE GREATEST SONG IN THE HISTORY OF POPULAR MUSIC
