    Their debut is an all time classic imo. Ahead of their time lyrically (Only Rakim G-Rap Kane KRS LL Cube SlickRick MastaAce EPMD were as dope as Super Lover Cee in 1987/88 skill wise and imo he was top4 ✍🏽skill wise with G-Rap Rakim Kane in 88).
    It still holds up today! Timeless!
    Paul C 😮‍💨🔥😮‍💨 production/engineering/mix as well! So sad he passed in 1989 (murdered) at 24 as he was gonna be a living legend! He was working with Organized Konfusion too! Would have had more🔥with OK (Pharoahe one of my GOAT emcees), Super Lover Cee and Casanova Rud, Rakim, Latifah, Ultra Magnetic MCs, Main Source, etc etc. He was such a talent! Listen to the way other all time legends talk about him from Large Pro to Pharoahe Monch to Rakim to so many others! Would have worked with so many more legends too.
    PS United Skates of America in 80s was such a fun place for kids and young adults!

    Great video, Super Lover and Rud are mad underrated. With the production credits I don't think the issues is not that people misunderstood what Paul did cause there from overseas, these LP's sold world wide including all over Europe, both as imports and later euro releases. I believe the issue is a result of the generation gap who's only reference point is youtube and youtube doesn't give you the credits like the wax will.
