But I mean isn’t the surreal way that’s put together actually better than the full tracks by either them or Digable Planets?
The surreal way that they blend it is honestly very similar to their shows. Lese Majesty has that flow more than any of their other albums, but Black Up has it in both an understated and flamboyant way with their improvisations and beat switches, respectively.

Much love for Digable but I see them and SP as two very different animals, even if I still put Shabazz on another level. They're basically connected at the aorta as a duo and **** man, they make it so wet and tight.
