I was mildly looking forward to this nostalgia but that ended soon after I clicked play. To be fair, Guru's Jazzmatazz and virtually every Gang Star album (except Hard to Earn) took a few listens before I fully enjoyed it. But damn! It's 2024 ain't nobody got time for multiple listens! I didn't mind the beats as much as some of the lyrics. The subtle horns, electronica was a nice touch. Ain't the Devil Happy was good blending in some old skool skratching, old world strings and electronic drum machines and lyrics were decent. It was probably a highlight. But a majority of the lyrics are super juvie and lack perspective. The track Da Bichez was terrible. Never herd this before, but good for an education for early 90s NYC rap.
