Optimistic is I remember it was on House Party 2, playing when Kid was struggling in college between class work and his job. Always used it as motivation in my college days to get work done.

Love some Sounds of Blackness, loved the House remixes to their joints too.

This has been on repeat for a while now...



Reminds me of something that would play in the end credits of a 1994 movie...

CJ Mackintosh on the remix.

I think I was in the Northeast visiting family one summer when I heard "Optimistic" for the first time. "I Believe" is great too, it bangs in the whip too

I'm not super religious guy, but these jokers make you want to .

From the same era. .....................can't get nothing like this on the radio anymore....I've said before, 15 years ago you could get a mix of "positive" rap with "debauchery" and it was a cool mix. Now its just like 97% "debauchery".
