i heard this for the first time back in like 06. my roommate was playing it and i was like :what: wtf is this, i was just used to radio music

that was the summer i became aware of pure hip hop :blessed:

thieves in the night was my favorite song but maybe like two or three years ago it changed to respiration and that respiration remix :wow: , that KOS is hot fire too :ohlawd: thats my jam

Good album. Had its lame spots for sure. Nowhere near the classic some people claim. Both BOBS & Train Of Thougt are much stronger.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Wow.

More than 20 years later I just read The Bluest Eye for the first time and Thieves in the Night is more powerful than ever to me this hip hop shyt is beautiful.

It's supposed to be art.

It's supposed to hit you different at different times in your life.

It's supposed to open your mind.

It's supposed to make you think.

This album is a blessing
