this is probably one of the most underrated mc's of al time, this songs is almost perfect, great beat and great lyrics, hell The Sun Rises in the East is one of the best rap albums of all time, man 94 was a great year for hip hop, The Diary, Illmatic, Ready to Die, Hard to Earn, Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous, Ressurection, it had great albums and still wasn't the best year for hip hop....
RZA said this was the illest joint out at the time with a piano on it, and saw Premo in California, and told him he'd best it. The record he'd put out? C.R.E.A.M.
i miss old school rap. nothing wrong with spitting lyrics intelligently. today's rap sucks, cept for a small crew of rappers. they still got it musically, but the lyrics will never ever be as tight as this one, jeru!
"Challenge the Damaja and you'll be histo--ry, mortal combat fatality, Da Original don't sing no R&B, Nasty, MC, Deity, chop of domes with the poems that come out of my pi-ne-al gland, as I expand, you know who I am"

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. -Holy Bible
