De La's Stakes is High track might be the most timeless damn near prophetic song ever.

Sitting here zoning to this like I'm hearing it for the first time ever and it's crazy how relevant it is. :mindblown: Common's I Used to Love Her was good, Roots' Never Do was good too. And I appreciated Rockness tossing Big and Kim off the stage, and Rza telling these Mother Gooses that Hip Hop ain't funk or R&B.

But none of that had the substance of Stakes Is High. The stars aligned that day in the studio.

"People go through pain and still don't gain
Positive contact just like my main man
Who got others cleaning up his physical influence
His mind got congested, he got the nine and blew it
Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody's neighbors
Just animals surviving with that animal behavior"
