2598873, I think "Welcome to Detroit" would have been bigger if they had visuals

But unfortunately BET/MTV were only playing expensive videos back then, and Youtube hadn't been invented yet. "Pause" & "Shake It Down" would have definitely made nice video singles. I do remember my people were a little shocked at the lyrical content because "Fantastic 2" was our only frame of reference. We all still bumped the album anyway and came to understand that "Welcome to Detroit" might be a more accurate representation of who Dilla was than "Fantastic 2".
