i hadn't thought about this 1st wave/2nd wave issue. maybe that's where the disagreement over the amount of HH in NS lies. maybe the initial NS had more HH than the 2nd wave. and maybe when i think of NS i only think of the 2nd wave and not the first.

like to me Mama's Gun and Voodoo are much more NS than Baduizm and Brown Sugar. even though Baduizm was the 'original' NS release (1st one w/the tag upon release), Mama's Gun was more true to the principles that undergird NS.
