Scorcese told me about this album. He waxed poetically on the strength and maturity of the lyrics, how dope the beats are, the beauty of the album in it’s entirety. So I listened to it here. I got about 1/3 of the way through and decided I needed to have the album. The tape arrived today. He wasn’t lying when he said I needed to listen to it. It’s going to be living in my ears for a long while!
