I’ve been meaning to put up this song for a while as my SOTW but keep forgetting for some reason. It’s one of my favorite songs by the former group. This is from the album Masters of the Universe. The song is about honestly expressing yourself and criticizes pop rap and rappers that make music for money and not for the love of music. It’s a great track.

Black on Both Sides was good, but in my opinion not quite classic. yeah, now that I think of it, talib and hi tek’s reflections eternal should be on the list. mos def i like, but i could never get into his albums. i think he’s a great poet, actor, and rapper, but i don’t think he’s yet released a classic.

New York, New York is a classic from that album. As for Deltron 3030, I thought "Both Sides of the Brain" was a much better offering from Del. Dogg Food…good choice.
