Sometimes I listen to this while walking to work and feel like the coldest whiteboy on the LES

IDK why this seminal L.A. hip-hop quartet doesn't get more love/respect.
When I listen to this track I hear Dilla's influence straight away -- he samples Stan Getz's "Saudade Vem Correndo", loops his sax parts, and then drops a snippet of Run-DMC's "Rock Box" on top of it for good measure.
Artists from Wiz Khalifa to UNKLE to Juice Wrld to JPEFMafia have used it in some form.
And it's appeared in "8 Mile," "Entourage," "New York Undercover" and "Big Daddy," among other shows.
It's a very unique, L.A. (not 2Pac or NWA's L.A.) take on alternative hip-hop (which De La Soul, another Dilla-produced group, was also mining). I think they were incredibly influential for an act that had really only one bona-fide "hit" and barely went gold once during their active career.
P.S.: I'm pretty certain that the slang phrase "low key" is invented here (it's 1995, BTW).

ever since this legendary oakland mc passed earlier this week, this has been on constant repeat. “light sleeper” alone could play on and on for the rest of my life and i wouldn’t be mad. elevated flow and creative cadences abound as the saucee nomad elevates beyond.
if you want more, go on youtube and watch him single handedly take on the entire hieroglyphics crew in one of the best battles hip-hop’s ever seen.

What happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene.
Driving is so pedestrian.

I swear to god this shit is too powerful. It doesn’t always work out the way I hoped but the win/loss ratio is definitely in my favour. We are social creatures. We like helping each other. Just do it. Ask me for something if you want. Who knows what I’ll say.
