"When I was growing up, hip-hop was pretty new. My oldest brother was really into it. Also, we had MTV from about 1990 onwards, so you'd see all these different people - A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy and Gang Starr - just became a soundtrack to whatever we were doing. I picked that one because I love DJ Premier's production, but also Guru's voice. I'm a big fan of the experimentation within hip-hop. Nowadays, people feel hip-hop has gone mainstream or whatever, but at that time, people were making records that were sampling very out there, experimental music, but combining them with parts from classical or jazz recordings, resulting in this very dense collage of sounds that is at times not even very melodic, but it's always got an amazing groove to it. It was those aspects in combination with Guru's voice, I just found it really inventive and exciting. Also, I would listen to it, and want to know where the samples had come from, and then I would go on missions to try and track things down. I think there was a Monk Higgins sample used on the track, 'Code Of The Streets', and that's just very alien-sounding. It's very basic, but it uses this beautiful violin part all the way through the track. They must have just been listening to such a wide variety of music, and what they've come out with is much more interesting that what came out post that era of hip-hop. You get some songs where there's a whole song taken, with just new lyrics added on. Back then though, there would have been as many as forty songs sampled in one song sometimes."

Mazi KaBi is a rapper from West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Not too long ago, he released a heartfelt hip-hop tune, entitled, “Wake Up (Dreams Come True)”.

“‘Cause you’re the brightest little light in my darkness. Yeah, I thought it was all bad until I saw you. What it means to be a dad is enormous. I’ma give you the whole world and all the fortune. That’s in the plan, that’s the plan, so merci beaucoup. ‘Cause you’re great and they may hate on you.” – lyrics

‘Wake Up (Dreams Come True)’ contains a relatable storyline, pleasing rap vocals, and vibey instrumentation flavored with a contemporary hip-hop aroma.

“I’m putting all active dads with daughters in the spotlight—letting people know there are still good dads out here.” – Mazi KaBi

Rolling Stone's 481st greatest album of all time
D'Angelo isn't an artist I was familiar with. I would have assumed this album would be hip-hop, and was a little surprised at the soulfulness of the songs. However despite the first few songs being quite enjoyable, thereafter it descends into poor Prince demo tracks.
Or to put it another way:

Rolling Stone's 144th greatest album of all time
This album features so many of the best hip hop songs. While the lyrics and the theme of the album is a little too crime-based, it certainly sets the scene for life on the streets of LA and what they went through growing up. Musically it is excellent as well. Express Yourself is obviously the highlight.
