"It was around this time that their Philly soul sound was becoming increasingly diluted with current trends blending them into the pop landscape. Regardless, most of these songs are hot despite the over-production gloss."  Reply

"By far my favorite songwriter of all time. With amazing ability to write lyrics that aren't trite, but completely other-worldly and eternal. And at the same time, inventing melodies that are original, and natural, and beautiful."  Reply

"This album is the epitome of underrated, it should be considered a rap classic. It is subversive, political, funny, deep, so much happening, the lyrics are so rich it takes many listens to get all. I consider it by far the best De La Soul, and their 3 previous albums are all rap classics."  Reply

"Really love that album...for an album ranked as far as 10000+ I think it's pretty damn good ! It's their best after the first one of course... There is really awesome, overlooked songs on it like No Killing or Good Friend, but anyway most of the songs here are good."  Reply
