    This is an underrated classic right here. One of the many Dancehall Reggae tracks that mixed with Hip Hop. If you don't understand this song.

      It's kinda a mid-way point where A&R and record companies let the artist and streets dictate the music. It's why the 90's were so diverse. X-Clan, Krs-One, N.W.A., Too Short, Wu-Tang Clan, ATCQ could all top the charts on any given month. We had options and everybody got a chance to shine.
