Akinyele is crazy underrated. Dope MC. I still got a few of his joints on rotation
Facts. He was a dope rapper but it was overshadowed by how crazy his content was. I remember when his abortion track off the album got so much flack

Yea that writer from the Source slaughtered him in that article. That really threw a monkey wrench with the album. I always said the "Put It In Your Mouth" track was a gift and curse for him. Although that was his biggest song that everyone remembers him for, it really overshadowed his career.

Isn't this one of the only Large Pro produced albums from the 90s? :leon:
no. He did the first Main source in 91, his own debut that was shelved in 96, this album, and G rap's Wanted Dead or alive along with Let the Rhythm Hit em in 1990(that he received no credit for either). He did get credit for 2 tracks on Wanted... but the engineer along with G rap and Polo said he pretty much did 75% of the album.

As for Vagina Diner, I have 2 copies of that. it was rare for a long time dating back to 2003. A song like "I luh huh" could never be done today. That would end any rapper's career.

The album title held this back. Was a disservice.
