☝🏽does agree witcha, hipbattersea! A true slept on classic indeed and surprisingly still available at a very reasonable price. GRAB with both hands and get familiar if you say you love real hip hop ☮️ Fab

A vinyl reissue is LONG overdue for this underappreciated masterpiece!

Alguien tiene este disco, está versión realizada en Brasil, que tal es ?

In my opinion, one of the best hip hop albums ever made. The genius wordplay that continues to be unraveled long after it’s release coupled with Prince Paul production and the smooth voice of Prime Minister Pete Nice. A shame they will never perform again but what a way to go out. This pressing sounds fantastic spread over two LPS.

Anyone have an mp3 of the vinyl-only track "Check Yourself"? I'd love to get a copy if you do, drop me a message. Thanks!

my promo copy has is C 47859. not CS.

People always look at me strangely when I say that this LP is tied with Apocalypse 91 for my favorite hip hop album of all time. Riiiight before the heavy crackdown on sampling and the ensuing lawsuits, it's odd that my favorite album contains one of my LEAST favorite singles of all time (pop goes the weasel). If u never heard any of the tunes except Weasel, or if it hasn't graced ur eardrums in decades, give this one another listen, if for nothing other than the str8 sample MASTERY Prince Paul landscaped.

This is a fantastic sophomore effort by the underrated trio. Most people will likely "Pop Goes The Weasel" for their slam on Vanilla Ice (and Hammer, again) - how ironic that it was perhaps their most popular hit and that it sampled Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer".
