-
Although I love the perfectly cut shortened intro “Phrenthrow” into “Rock You” on the digital release. This LP has the full version of “Phrenthrow” and it is stellar beauty. -
-
Vinyl, Me Please will most likely be doing an Essentials release of this very very soon. Keep those eyes peeled. -
Edited 6 years agoAn understated and underrated follow up to Things Fall Apart that does not receive the credit it rightfully deserves. On tracks like Quills, P*ssy Galore and Water, Black Thought's lyrics seize your attention with political command. In more ways than one, it is more conscious rap than its predecessor. -
Removed from my “wantlist” because every other day another becomes available but you all want way too much for a record that plenty of people seem to be cool with getting rid of
