This is my favorite album at the moment, not only does it feature a beautiful piece of misogynistic hip hop, “Treat Her Like A Prostitute”, which talks about how contrary to popular belief, it is perfectly FINE to treat girls like hookers if they don’t earn it. oh the goood ol days, but it features, “Children’s Story” which has got to be one of the most overlooked gems in the hip hop world. The only reason I bring this up is that on Mos Def’s new record, Rick is featured on a track, and I realized most people only know of him as the rapper with the eye patch, which actually has a pretty un-exciting eye losing story, but his debut record is literally one of the greatest golden age rap records before the gangsta rap of the late 80s and early 90s. Also, how great is the marching-worthy sample that appears in “The Ruler’s Back”, which makes me want to do that weird step dance that MC Hammer does, it just brings the biggest smile to your face. Which seems like a complete contrast to the fact that he’s been in and out of jail for most of the 90s and oughts! Come back and make records!
