I don’t know how much more I can add to the discourse about one of the greatest albums ever made. On a personal taste note, any album displaying this level of singing and rapping talent over any measure of reggae vibes is gonna be a winner for me. The production is stellar, the songs and performance feel utterly unforced, which is a sure sign of the work that went into them. It’s one of the seemingly few albums that I love equally for it’s academic merit and personal enjoyment.
