...however, I must admit that the production on the prime-era Hiero albums never really did it for me either. I don't know why because they sampled pretty much the same era of fusion/jazz/soul/whatever that the classic east-coast producers did at the same time and were not necessarily worse at flipping the samples but for some reason, it just don't knock like the best Hip-Hop using similar sound-aesthetics did in the same era.

But of course, the production is still MUCH better than most things Kool Keith been involved with in the past, um, "many" years, LOL!
