I featured the first track of this album on my Sample Appreciation, that track was used for Compton's Most Wanted's "Hood Took Me Under" and Biggie's "Warning". This is a bangin soul album, and is unique in that it doesn't have the radio oriented short singles. The shortest track on the album is 5:10, with the others ranging from 9 to 18 minutes. You've got Isaac Hayes' amazing singing over some great orchestration, really classic soul here.
The album deals with love and emotion, probably my favorite track is "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", which is almost half delivered in spoken phrase. It's the story of a man who's girl cheated on him way too many times and he wants to leave her.
Seriously peep this album, I know y'all are fans of rap and just hearing the little bits of samples is hot, but this is good fuckin music right here.
