Yo, when I read this, my mouth just dropped. Are you tryin to tell me... that... that hook is effing scratched??? From different lines in the song?? I went back immediately and listened to it. The hook is scratched y'all. No, no. I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Listen to The Light, right now. Listen to it. THE HOOK IS SCRATCHED. I'm about the last person to jock the Soulquarians, but that's some amazing ish right there. And it was already my favorite song on the album before...
