    You took me back to 93, my senior year in high school, in my bedroom listening to my huge speakers. Heavy D is not to be messed with, one of the best lyricist, word playist, flow stylist, dancers, cameoist, most consistent, an actor, producer, and I’m forgetting some and don’t know the half of all he did. And yes I used -ist, it’s Heavy D, he deserves it, he’s an instrument of HIP-HOP 100 times over✊🏾😎

    I remember my college roommates and I would run this interlude like it was a song. we constantly rewound it wishing it was longer or better yet, a whole song. It was one of the DOPEST interludes EVER! I loved it to death but was also mad that Guru never spit on the track. I am glad that Premier spoke on his reluctance to redo the track for Hev. Hev did his thing on it though. 92 Interlude is so dope that just hearing it gets me emotional. Salute to you Preemo!
