Funny to think that at this time Hip-Hop was defined by violence, women and excess yet had more conscious acts such as De La Soul, Poor Righteous Teachers, A Tribe Called Quest, Styles of Beyond, Slum Village etc. than it has nowadays. Dunno if I'm getting old, nostalgic or both!

This song is the ROOT of my compassion for the homeless. Thanks, AD for your hard work!

This song makes me cry, and happy at the same! Welcome back.

I listened to this music in 1994 right after I transferred to another school. Basically one of the music that heralded my transition from one toxic environment to a fun filled one.

this song is so perfectly mixed and the sound is amazing. cant find this type of music so clear these days man. love it so much

I just heard a dude roasting somebody and he said, "boy you out here looking bum as hell, Mr Wendell looking ass nigga" I couldn't help but laugh 😂 then came straight here... some of the young folks hip to real music I see

ONE OF THE GREATEST RAP GROUPS EVER

Love love love from Fayette county Illinois!!😮😮😢 Iv been in the ......

This was the only song my dad had downloaded on his phone for most of my childhood. It brings back so many memories 😭❤️

Whoa! I haven't heard this song in 30+ years and had no idea what lyrics were (just remember the wall of sound). It's still kooky, but now I have respect for its message (and can hear how this band would become an influence for bands of today (e.g. Outkast perhaps?)). 🙂

This was the one and only rap group that got to play Woodstock 25 yr reunion in ‘94! Awesome safe free festival for most. No violence, like the treacherous ‘99 follow up
