You're kidding.
It's those beats, man. Those beats are sick. Excursions samples Art Blakey, Jazz (We've Got) samples Freddy Hubbard's Red Clay, and coolest of all, Scenario samples Davis' "So What", the Ohio Players, Kool & The Gang (TWICE) and Jimi Hendrix.
This might not mean much to you, but that is revolutionary.
Not to mention, Tip's lyrics are some of the best of the genre. Audacious and thought provoking, yet restrained.
Code:
Planted on the ground, the act is so together
Bonafied strong, you need leverage to sever
The unit, yes, the unit, yes, the unit called the jazz is
Deliberatley cheered lp filled with streeet goods
You can find it on the rack in your record store (store)
If you get the record, then your thoughts are adored
And appreciated, cause were ever so glad we made it
