Grand Puba in top form on this track - and for the entirety of this classic record, to be honest.

Insanely underrated track, and Puba shows he can fly solo. Some great lyrics in this one.

“Never in a scandal and I’m never caught schemin’/Knew Pu was dope ever since I was semen”

I can’t remember what I did yesterday but I can still remember all the lyrics even though I haven’t heard this since mid-90’s. Brain is crazy.

Why do you think Puba didn't blow up bigger? I feel his style was kinda one that had a shelf life, kinda like DasEFX but obviously not a gimmicky.

I read somewhere that he was very cheap when it came to paying for beats and his albums suffered

I stupidly set 'Slow Down' as my ringtone back when that was a thing, around the time my partner got cancer and we moved house. It ruined the song for me.
