@RNC
I had the album but I skimmed through it and trashed it foolishly.I turn on Sunday Morning Classics(kiss fm)and I heard that shit and lost my mind.I ripped some audio from the radio and was working with some chops/loops.I was`nt patient with my progress so I turned my studio off without saving the shit.I will check you tomorrow,till then I`m googling the shit.

^ I always thought Black was nice, but I was never really a big fan of them as a collective. ?uestlove is the most popular member of group. They shoulda BEP’d it up and added a white girl. They woulda BEEN gettin’ mainstream money. That Def Jam deal didn’t really change anything.

hl that beat is from La the Darkman, forgot which song tho.
