bruh, i was listening back to the album earlier today and was just like, “cats don’t make music like this no more”:wow:

the rhymes, the sampling and the sequencing is just top tier

but the way they sampled El’s vocals for this track was genius :banderas:

they sure don't

I could listen to albums from the 90s that were disappointments like back then and they are still light years ahead of todays hip hop :francis:

i know right?

same here :myman:

facts, that speaks to the level of talent a lot of artists had back then even when some of the material was lackluster or not up to their standard at times, it was still light years ahead of what’s popping today

Always loved that beat!

I didn't even know they got that from the Chico joint. That's crazy!

:salute:

same here, bruh :myman:

yeah, when I was listening back to it again today, i was like, “i know those vocals”

because El’s vocals are so distinct and i remember when that Chico DeBarge song came out and the video got some air time on BET back in the day. Chico had Nia Long in the video :wow:

Sick sample.

I feel like Long Time no see is a forgotten r&b Classic. Such a great album

facts, it really is

that vocal sample is perfect

yeah, it hardly ever get mentioned alongside some of the classic r&b albums of the 90's, but that whole album is great from start to finish.

that that single No Guarantee featuring Joe was my shyt too.
