    I'm 16 and from Italy, so I'm from a totally different generation and culture...but this song, wow. I started listening to hip hop and rap a few months ago, and this 90s old school songs are the best! Love the chill and jazzy sound.

The OP is a true statement and I did not read it as saying this is only for black people.

      @Sh Hh Hi. I luv many genres of music.
      Hip hop, rap, electro, punk, pop, rock, jazz, soul, rockabilly, disco, techno. In the hip hop /
      rap world my faves are Tribe, Public enemy, EPMD, Snoop dog, Cypress Hill, NWA,
      Eric B & Rakim, Beastie Boys, Stetsasonic.
      Hip hop is my favourite genre of music. Growing up in Glasgow, Scotland not many people were listening to hip hop in the early 80's. I introduced it to all of my friends. Who are your faves Sh Hh?

    The complex, jazzy AF guitar chords, the looping, ambiguous interaction of the bass line and beats... this track is beyond magical. Tip is a MFing genius with the production. Then add Phife's impish charm to it all? These kids opened a portal to a parallel, better universe.
