Underrated classic.......2006-08-27
This is the kind of jazz and soul inspired musically laid back, lyrically clever, sensible but not overtly heavy handed conscious hip hop of the Digable Planets/Arrested Development/Daisy Age school that was sadly overwhelmed by the ignorant and misogynistic gangster garbage that unfortuantely became more popular among the youth.
I bought this when it came out while I was in Grad school (1993), and as I lied on my studio apartment mattress as it blared on my CD player, "Feelin' Free" just BLEW ME AWAY and I had to call my friends to say "Y'all have GOT to hear this!"
"I Know You're A Virgin" is a VERY clever and tasteful double entendre about a wise young man who tries to initiate his girlfriend to think more deeply about the world. The refrain "I Know, I know, I know" does a good job of punctuating the tune without being annoying.
"Basement Music" tells a lot of what the group's mission statement is all about. Any rappers with the taste to sample Jr. Walker and the All Stars ( in the case, "I Don't Need No Reason" form JW&TAS' 1973 "Peace and Understanding Is Hard to Find" Lp) gets big ups in my book.
As a whole, this is a fine example of hip hop's "path not taken," how this genre could have easily been a force of unity and good will (as was the Soul Music of bygone years) as opposed to the detrimental trash it has become.
