I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! I can't believe there aren't that many comments on this classic hip hop track oh my goodness-

They're doing so much lyrically here. I enjoy how they've structured their verses, for the most part, they begin with: we, them, us, you he, she, our, they who, where, why, when, what, how what? cause

or some variation of these pronouns/5 w's...

there's a fun, lighthearted poetic language and structure to this, outside of it being rap and filled with a lot of slang. as well, the fact that they also supply great metaphors and claim to be the coolest hip hop group on the scene [IN the coolest, least overbearing way "ask butta how i zone, man Cleopatra Jones"]- set against one of the chillest bass lines- yeah. they rebirthed slick. I love this group (and shabazz palaces for that matter too)...
