I listened to the whole album recently for the first time and it's great.  I wanna get the CD but it's mad rare now, even online.

Unbelievable how time flies... Incredible album, the title track, Black Superman and Gangsta Madness are my favorites. I remember when we first heard Black Superman on the radio, everybody went crazy, bought the 12" immediatly. What a classic...

To me a few things stand out.

The credibility of the group. The zone Hutch was in, production-wise (this was the pinnacle of his production). The chemistry between he and KMG on the mic. Kokane killing hooks, verses, and ad-libs. The length was nice too. No filler, just heat. And a gang of quotables.

Only thing that's always been a little odd to me was the Tone Loc cameo on Who Ryde. WTF is that guy doing on that song? How did he and ATL cross paths and what facilitated that collabo? Making it even more surreal was the fact that Hutch, KMG and Kokane murder that track while Tone Loc closes it out with some really mediocre bars.

I have an *original 1994* copy to sell…rare as shit…that I am trying to sell. Only problem is that Ebay/Amazon is flooded with crappy Japenese reprints which pushes the price down to balls.

If I am giving this classic away it has to be worth it.
