Hipbattersea Nov 23, 2021

In my opinion, one of the best hip hop albums ever made. The genius wordplay that continues to be unraveled long after it’s release coupled with Prince Paul production and the smooth voice of Prime Minister Pete Nice. A shame they will never perform again but what a way to go out. This pressing sounds fantastic spread over two LPS.
