List of major samples:
4 samples Bob James "Blue Lick"; 5 samples Roy Ayers "We Live In Brooklyn, Baby"; 7 samples Tavares "Bad Times"; 8 samples Bobbi Humphreys "Blacks & Blues"; 11 samples Bobbi Humphreys "Jasper Country Man"; 12 samples Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Fives "Superrappin Theme"; and 13 samples Shuggie Otis "Island Letter".
People expecting the same as "Reachin" were surprised by the tone of this, the DPs second CD, which was a lot more Afro-centric and politically-minded than their first. Maybe thats why this wasnt as successful.
