Should have been a radio banger.

Should have been one of those inspirational songs you can play at family functions, to graduations, to school programs.

(My guess) Because it was to positive and to inspirational the "controllers" of radio and music videos in the late 90s shat and sat on it. :scust:...... or maybe just didn't catch on....:yeshrug:

One of my favorite tracks on this CLASSIC album.

Whooooooo Yeaaah!!!! :blessed:

Fantastic beat. Guru did well enough on it but shyt like this is why I wish Premo gave this to a better emcee.

With that said, these are probably my favorite Guru lines ever

"And all the girls, they want to spoil me
My honey anoints me with oil, G
After work she greets me, and treats me like royalty" :ohlawd: :blessed: That's the ideal girl, brehs :mjcry:

Major respect to your sector, I'm the corrector
Live and direct, waving my mic like a sceptor
Supreme exalted, universal leader
Descendent of the kings and queens, the overseer
The overlord, cream of the crop, creme de la creme
Spent years building with cats in the streets so they my men
Again, Gang Starr has done it
Remember too much jewels back in the days? You'd have to run it

:wow: :wow: :wow:

Premier's rant at the end of the album version was :mjgrin:.

love this joint, probably my fave Gangstarr one. The only beef i have with this record is that i wish it was mixed better, it could sonically sound so much better, but either way :salute:
