One of the best. A hip-hop explosion unleashed. When this was released it was the icing on the cake for ATCQ, at what must have been their peak and one that is still a valid point of reference to MC's and producers today (with the video also being well ahead of its time and a regular on Yo! MTV Raps). The talents of guests Leaders Of The New School also shine , alongside the short-lived hip-hop MC Kid Hood. The remix and original LP version are the stronger versions here and have been known to still get the re-load...

This is available on vinyl as I pulled it out of my collection at the weekend. After forgetting I had this , I popped her on and was hit by how good it is ; quality ! If you like the old New Jersey Strictly Rhythm vibe from way back when , this will keep you happy !

a sublime track indeed , and one that should be owned on the UK pressing as the vocal dominates in a way it doesn't on the US version. I remember in the early '90's nearly wetting myself after managing to get a recording of this tune on tape after hearing it at "The Brain" on Wardour Street amidst a blur of strobe-light insanity , early house style dancing and poppers wafting through the air. I took that tape everywhere with me and never tired of playing it. I still play the record and have a fairly recent memory of hearing Roger Sanchez himself play it at a surreal "Cooking" evening hosted by LTJ Bukem and featuring Mr "I've had the same stoopid beard since time began" Sanchez as the main guest. The night failed to attract many punters indeed and you could clearly see Mr "where is that razor , I need a shave" Sanchez was not expecting such a small group as he IS a LEGEND you know... Anyway , I got the impression that he felt that he could play records he wouldn't usually get the chance to play and so played this very tune. I walked up to the DJ booth and gave him that knowing-nod. Respect. Now have a shave and get back in the studio in a mellow frame of mind ; life ain't all about tribal beats you know.
