My Own Worst Enemy is an album by Ed O.G. and Pete Rock, released in 2004.[3][4] The album's single, "Wishing", included a guest appearance from Masta Ace.[5]

It was reissued in 2016.[6]

Production

[edit]

The album consists of 10 songs, seven of them produced by Rock, with additional production from Diamond D and DJ Revolution. The guests included Jaysaun, Masta Ace, and Diamond D. The album was recorded over a period of two years, due to Rock's touring and other production responsibilities.[7]

Critical reception

[edit]

PopMatters called Rock's production "always relaxed, almost stoned; the organic jazz vibe produces a mild, yet cerebral high when punctuated with his trademark horns."[8] Remix wrote that "on 'Boston', a somber guitar loop and subtle chimes are stretched across sturdy drums for Edo to lyrically praise his hometown, and the bouncy 'Stop Dat' utilizes chopped space-age effects."[9]
