    Quiet as it Kept, Chubb Rock broke down the demise in the black community in 16 bars.. So amazing. Nice history lesson. On another note, his delivery is superb. Gotta respect the Boom-Bap MCs, they sure knew how to deliver a rhyme. My goodness.

I love the 70/80/90 funk vibes too... all this man and woman in advance of their time... now with Internet we all have the chance to discover many many song, band, all the time, no matter where or what we come from, who we are / with absolutly no distinction of skin colors, religions, social class, To have money fame or not on this world... the one thing that can bring us all together without judgement or hatred is music... and To go at some show... worldwide music unites and strenghtens some relationships , help a lot of lost kids I was without money and landmark in the 90's .

      As much as I love Jeru's verse, and most of his work, General Manuel Noriega, to whom he refers when mentioning govt. issued weapons, died in 2017. The rest of the verse is dope. This I noticed when the track came out, but basically had no one to comment it to, that would actually care back then.
