I swear when I first heard this track back in 1997, I thought it was a DJ PREMIER beat. The drums, the scratching, the sampling style and the overall vibe. I was shocked when it wasn't him who produced it. Also, can we just give props to L the Head Toucha for rocking this beat lovely. His bars are just too ill. This is a PERFECT track.

"peoples, my mind remains haunted by bad things, I'm on it / most everything is real when you're blunted" beats & lyrics! - Den Gale Pose (formerly known as Madness 4 Real) flipped the sample in 1996 on a joint called 'Fler Hos'.
I discovered this gem two years ago but stopped listening to it after a while. I'm glad I'm listening to it right now; the nostalgic livens my soul up again.
L the head toucha is good. he reminds me like trigga the gambla, or something else. maybe he was secretly on the nutty professor soundtrack. that would have been dope. it was a slept on record, but the movie did well, i think.
Damn he is str8 killing his lyricism here. I can't even keep up it's so good, I was just listening to the original song by don black's-holding me I found here on youtube studying my oldies then I found a comment saying this song was sampled and now I'm here and I'm happy I clicked on this vid :), nothing can defeat that original 90's sound of rap. This is real hip hop
I still have this cut on a DJ Premier CD....with different cuts I bumped this cut in my brand new '98 Chevy S10....back in the day. I love the sample & De La from the "Stakes is High" LP.
Yeahh, that occurred to me as well, love those guys. Phonetically speaking, this song is actually rather complex. Try and map out the rhyme scheme, this guy's flow is very freeform. Good shit.
“Let’s take a deep breath and inhale and exhale For those whose present in the mind and those who’ve been bailed” This nostalgia could make me cry,Beautiful!!
Im a rap music check me on 3rd bass and check me on TH-cam and you will like 3rd bass and im a rap music on 3rd bass and name is mc and check out 3rd bass im mc 3rd bass📀😃🎤⛽
Just heard it's almost like 2 minutes ago my brother put me up on this it's a dope beat Dope lyrics positivity things always a message in that's what it was about back in the day
Gostaria de saber quando que o Hip Hop Underground vai voltar? Quando as músicas eram bem feitas, aquela perfeição que você não vê nos dias de hoje!

"Greater than your Benz or your Lexus, the engine to my comprehension is just too complex"
That uniquely lengthy sample is masterfully incorporated. Could bob my head all day to this lost gem. And i will.
[Verse One]
Deep in the depths of the mind
The pro is prime, trapped like a mime
In the same space and time, lifeless
Vocals excel when trifers
Centerfold of your ciphers
My aura shines divine, priceless
Much to complex to yap
Maybe perhaps when I think of rap
My thinkin' cap (what?)
Reveals the skills unlimited
Rappers be half as great
Mentally they can't elaborate
So they exaggerate and fabricate
My words collaborate, formulatin' a sentence
It's all ill when the blunted mind defense this
Intense mechanism
Respect next to wisdom
Makes the god's mental
Inflammable grammable feel gentile
Reignin' dominate
We be the essential
I sense y'all don't know the art
Comprehensively, energy enters me when I depart
It's like sweet sorrow
Bottles I follow catch wreck
Engine's to my comprehension be just too complex
To get vex and just step
I'd rather snatch a rapper's rep
Ruin it to a degree
Breakin' them into debris
Vocally, y'all label me as the illest mic killa
Top biller
Still in the grind, the mind driller
Sublime thriller
Poetically is how I'm depicted
The rhythm's got me addicted so my ill skill inflicts it
On any device
Nice
Similar, the verbal Christ
Enormous, my performance equally will be precise
We puttin' rappers on ice
The ultimate heist
Most of 'em should have thought twice now they're payin' the price
I knock 'em out like Mic Tys when the tracks connect
The engine's to my comprehension is just too complex
[Scratch Hook]
"Greater than your Benz or your Lex
The engine to my comprehension is just too complex"
Much too complex
"Greater than your Benz or your Lex
The engine to my comprehension is just too complex"
[Verse Two]
To M.C. the art of rhymin' should be pure and natural
When I think of all these ill skills, international
You see my words in actual will attract the steel like a magnet
Niggas is stagnant and incomplete like the fragments
Actually, my words are a jagged edge, criminal
Borderline, subliminal
One of the earth's finest minerals
I'm past the pinnacle
And still I hold my fort like a general
Intervals, all excerpt the maximum
Release the minimal energy
Cock me back
Hennesy's sure to blur the memory
Remember me, that ill nigga?
I still trigger
Thoughts sporadic set to peel niggas
Standards
Mics are metaphors of what the man is, might merge
I recite slurs with the right words
What occurs when I conjure
Illest spirits from beyond ya
You was warned like Alaja
The drama ganja drains away
Plain as day
When my mind's A.K. spray in the A.K.A
Nine trey, double rays, bubble thin
Fry
Mass murderous
The illest niggas we devour from out the dark
So kill the talk
Either that or walk the walk
You claim you had your shit together now it's fallin' apart
Lyin' lion, no heart
Who woulda thought you'd be wack?
We gave you dap in the beginning now we takin' it back
I only boogie from a track when mad niggas react
We specify the artifacts and represent 'em on wax
It' complex
[Scratch Hook]
"Greater than your Benz or your Lex
The engine to my comprehension is just too complex
Much too complex
"Greater than your Benz or your Lex
The engine to my comprehension is just too complex
Much too complex"
[Verse Three]
Let's take a deep breath and inhale and exhale
For those who prison in the minds and those that been bailed
Fuck the fan shit, it's about to hit the windmills
What I reveal, not omni still it's strictly been real
Y'all know the deal, skills
Steelos, alter egos
Poetry hits my peoples like food for thought
Vocals distort, shorts the sequels
Mics forever like the paradox of pure evil
The crowds will come
Like throwin' crumbs to the seagulls
Too predictable
Old folks pray in cathedrals
Tryin' to live that better life legal
Feeble, my mind remains haunted by mad things
I'm wanted
Plus everything is real when you're blunted
These days the trees blaze
F doin' the shade
We backspin 'em like the DJs
Playa be swaze
I'm the live one
Mic's like a knife
Cuttin' you down to size in
The fantasy land you and your mans was devisin'
We wise men
Puzzle your thoughts
It ain't surprisin'
I set it off like horizons
No mistakes allowed
Strategically, it's like I'm movin' the crowd
I'm lickin' shots, bustin' up at the clouds
We be audacious, treadin' on glaciers
Slang got sprayed down in Tanqueray without the chasers
On the earth there ain't a place you can run to hide
When my sets collide with your planet
Rock bottom solid my frame be like granite
Very few can understand it
The dialect I wreck
Perfects my mic's sex when the thoughts connect
The engine to my comprehension is just too complex
The engine to my comprehension is just too [echo]
[Scratch Hook]
"Greater than your Benz or your Lex
The engine to my comprehension is just too complex
Damn‼️🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️
There are more words within the track than in admission's essay
Remember this being hyped in The Source for months and not being able to find anyone with a copy to check it...finally copped it on DJ Premier mixtape a year later - blew my mind.

I always thought L Da Headtoucha did this track more justice than Jay-Z did. Line for line this was amazing.
Yes sir, he went in on every bar on this joint....L cant be fucked with here ...he was on top of his game.👍👍👍
Jayz rapped on this beat for the i got the hook up" soundtrack
Also the original was sampled by People under the stairs on the track: Give love a chance 👌

More where that comes from, like uncovering Egyptian artifacts.
Young heads just don't know.
Boston's finest, East Coast stay winning
Smh going into 2018 and this is still dope now from the time it was created🔥🔥🔥
L is a dope MC
2022. Wish I had friends that listened to joints like these.
90" Best Time Of My Life! Thx L.

L The Head Toucha is my sister's favorite rapper.
using Trugoys voice from the cut "The Bizness" off the Stakes is High is fire! Rest in Peace to Dave plug 2!
