edit: forgot this was the remix. I liked the original from the album more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYDhiEPw0L4
this is the first song that grabbed me off an album that would eventually be one of my all time favorite records
The combination of throwback synchronized rhyming like the Treacherous Three etc. that Jurassic 5 would bring back later on, and the futuristic vocal stylings that would influence LA underground hip hop until today, made me appreciate the hometown scene more since I was a NY rap stan in LA mostly.
Seeing these dudes at swap meet raves and at Leimert Park or shows on Sunset for years started with this song and Innercity Griots as a whole.
