Its only fairly recently that I have indulged in the genre of Hip-hop. I'd always been a fan of De La Soul and Jurassic 5 but the pouting gangsta rap of the mid 90's made me treat most hip-hop with disdain for many years. What brought me round to realising just how powerful and creative hip-hop music can be was this album. A far cry from the aggressive for aggressive sake hip-hop that was all over the place when I was growing up, this album is a much more interesting and intelligent take on the music that I had criticized for so long. If you are part of the 'rap is crap' crowd then I advise you to take a chance on this. It opened my eyes to some incredible music that otherwise I would have forever dismissed. There's a whole world of musical excellence still to be discovered
