...solo joints on the album was their first single might've been what delivered this message or the fact that he was the most adamant about his five-percenter beliefs, which fit right into the era of Africa medallions and Feared Black Planets. Regardless, everybody of course seated Brand Nu's beats, was amused by Derrick X's pre-B Real's nasalness and loved the Edie Brickell sample in "Slow Down"...but if you asked anybody whose lyrics was the tightest, they probably would've been like "Puba, home slice" or something funky fresh like that...
