    the lyrics alone...a whole perspective on how you cant compare this era to any other in hip hop ..
    but its important to consider the difference, bc the psychological and social implications on the minds and real experience of black youth, as told through hip hop..carry weight with real consequence
    The beat is another level of the conversation still...

    Here comes the hurricane, C.L. same name
    Cut by the grain when I land upon the plain
    Jah knew the Hebrew, a Papa Duke need you
    But none of the fam who saw had a clue
    Escalate the prime rate, words coagulate
    Generate the mind's state, never can deflate
    Nigger, you jigaboo, it doesn't have to be you
    Funny like a cartoon, Pepe Le Pew
    Pimp are the lyrical, g-string the individual
    But the metaphysical isn't spriritual
    Straight from the heart I frame the art
    Tune up my class, real fast, very smart
    Dictate the technique, wait a minute, I speak
    Loved by my son and a kiss on the cheek
    Stutter-step the concept, blueprint, or pro
    Steady as we go so act like you know
    I stand by the rabbi, sail in Shanghai
    Always had an alibi even if I lie
    Crucial, never neutral, bare the fruitful
    Past time, another rhyme, skedaddle, Yankee Doodle
    Light skin in lovely gyp, just for the honey dip
    Here to make a megahit fit
    Don't install the pipe dream, renaissance regime
    When you run ragged I pick up the steam
    Chart on the record book, what Corey Love took the hook
    Here's a new book to civilize a crook
    Purest of the pedigree, feed 'em a line
    C.L., no Jezebel, can never sleep well
    Thick like a dred, at the Club Med
    The Mecca Don said, a fish out of water is dead
    Pete Rock, the soul brother, cruise on a flow
    Swing low and yell "Geronimo!", act like you know
    C.L. can play like Nike, come on just do it
    Pacify the Gemini, soul into it
    Beat to my feet is a lock like concrete
    Hard for the street, decipher never incomplete
    A clean editorial, rather historical
    Affordable, recordable, nifty like a portable
    Mecca is the syndrome, when I come back home
    Boogie on a baritone, listen on a phone
    Libra, the achiever, toke a reefer
    C.L. the girl pleaser, like Ebanezer
    So here is the good sign, I incline
    Titties with the bitties when I wine and dine
    Worn like corduroy, comes the bad boy
    But just like Anita Pita, I bring ya joy
    "Agoobilonians" with your knowledge
    And take as said so, flow and act like you know
    Hard for the street, decipher never incomplete
    A clean editorial, rather historical
    Affordable, recordable, nifty like a portable
    Mecca is the syndrome, when I come back home
    Boogie on a baritone, listen on a phone
    Libra, the achiever, toke a reefer
    C.L. the girl pleaser, like Ebanezer
    So here is the good sign, I incline
    Titties with the bitties when I wine and dine
    Worn like corduroy, comes the bad boy
    you know

    Pete Rock And CL Smooth Act Like You Know song is a classic. Mecca And The Soul Brother album is good. I like album pictures. Pete Rock And CL Smooth should've did more albums. CL Smooth, Willie D of Geto Boys, 2Pac Shakur(RIP), MC Ren of NWA, Ice Cube of NWA, Run DMC(RIP Jam Master Jay), Gang Starr(RIP Guru), Redman, Ice T is my favorite music rappers.
