Killah Priest- Heavy Mental (1998) APPRECIATION thread

Theres a big story behind this one. That was an incredible time right there. This wasnt an original beat. They had to go in there and do it again. Al Green wouldnt clear the sample. I called up Al Green and got on the phone with him. I called him Al Green. Al Green was fronting because of my name "Killah Priest," because hes supposed to be a preacher and everything. Me and him ended up having words with each other. Thats a highlight of my career. They wouldnt clear it, so we ended up having to redo it. I still have the original beat. Were going to leak that one out there too.

This also got the Rhyme of the Month in The Source. I didnt even think this was that strong. We ended up doing this track towards the end of recording for the album and we just put it in the right place.

Following in the illustruous legacy of the Wu-Tang Clan triumphant 1993-1997 run, affiliate Killah Priest released his debut solo album "Heavy Mental" in 1998.

Almost 20 years later, this song and this album only get better to me...seriously. I fukked with this song and album heavy and this song is just...


Tekitha on the chorus...

It's one of the albums I replayed the most in high school.

I actually believe it's a classic.
