Rated 5/5
Review by damnzenman May 10, 2009

referencing Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth, LP, Album, ENS-1030

A true Masterpiece composed by Dale Warren, a classically trained arranger and conductor from Detroit. Soulful grooves effortlessy blending with funky jams, gospel, spoken word and piano solo's. With these flawless arrangements its no wonder this lp has become of the most sampled albums of all time, to name just a few: Naughty by Nature, Jay-Z, Nas, Eric B and Rakim, Jill Scott, Keith Murray, Digable Planets, Leaders of the New School, The RZA, the list goes on and on.

The Sufferings of The Innercity put to wax. Listen and Feel the Pain. This is Poverty's Paradise.
