Absolute classic. I remember watching the scene in Ghost Dog The Way Of The Samurai where Forrest Whittaker popped in a cd in the car and was cruising to “From then till now”

underrated thing on this album is how much KP varied his delivery track to track

Ghost Dog is underrated. And "From Then Till Now" is that shyt.

you know i always kinda felt the same way..it took me like a decade or so to really fukk with Heavy Mental as a whole...was young at the time so i didnt get how his beats were so grimey and the Sunz of Man album from the same year had beats that were way cleaner. i always liked a handful of songs but my favorite Priest albums were Priesthood and The Offering...
