In retrospect this album doesn't seem like a big deal but at the time of its release it caused a lot of people, including me to do a double take and say "wha.....arent these the fight for your right to party guys" Not only was the album itself awesome, but three guys that we'd associated with novelty white rap were breaking out their instruments and laying down some of the best retro-soul/acid jazz iv'e ever heard completely interlaced with fantastic hip-hop. Such an underrated album.
