Big fan off 'jazz rap' at the time (Gang Starr/ATCQ/Digable Planets) and could not wait for this at the time but never really felt it. It was a little bit tame - beats wise and lyrically. Listening to it again today yeah its probably a bit better than I and I will deffo give it another spin in the future but if I want to listen to a jazz rap LP then why not put on the real thing and listen to 'Daily Operation'? I've given it a generous 4 stars because of my affection for Gang Starr related bizness!

Did this really come with a printed inner sleeve? No photos of it here, and my copy never had one... -
Just been repressed repressed repressed! and some more words.
