@AGHisBBS Heard this in a store, today, remembered what good rap was. In the third verse (2:55) he is more "in the pocket" than most bass players ever will be. I am not a huge fan of modern hip hop, too much auto tune and production tricks. Tupac, however, had real "flow". Third verse is haunting and prophetic, and his timing is amazing. Complicated human being.
90s obscure hip/hop and dance? Ok. I see your Skee-lo, and raise you one Terminator X on the wheels of steel. The James Brown shout on loop is insane. Edit: he's mixing JB's "Funky Drummer" with the shout on loop.
