Only 3 or 4 of the tunes have lyricists on it. Plus it's tastefully done. Nothing like the bullshit they are currently calling hip-hop. Ah back.in.the.day(TM). Tribe, Black Sheep, NWA, Ultramagnetic, Pharcyde *sigh*. I really really like _Blow Your Headphones_. This one blew my mind when I first heard it. A bit more upbeat then other ninja stuff I've heard that really draws from a hip-hop emphasis. I love the last sone on the Disc. That outtro tune is so chilled out and groovy. freshie Paranoia: The choice of a Tech Generation http://silly.com/~tang
