"It's black rock & roll basically - it's a way of being offensive. Turn up loud and say 'Fuck you'. It's a great album just the whole way through. Its R n B but it has some hip hop in it, but it wasn't sappy 'I'm going to love you to that sky falls' stuff - I don't like that kind of shit. And then, I kind think back now how it used [producer] Kyle West - his name was mentioned throughout. 'Kyle West break it down...' he shouted himself out in those tracks. I've never seen Kyle West, I don't know who he is. He's like a mystery, but his name stays with me, and that’s one reason why this album sticks out - you think, 'I wonder what happened to him?' If that one moment is never recaptured by an artist, you know even moreso that that moment was special. Al B Sure! never really did it again like with In Effect Mode, but he was on top with that record."

"I like it because it's a time for me in the '90s, listening to that record. And he took four years off between that and Voodoo, and then years between that and the latest record [Black Messiah], which I think is amazing by the way. I'm such a lover of '90s R&B, and what I think was cool with the neo-soul thing of Lauryn Hill, him and Angie Stone. To hear the intro of 'Brown Sugar' on like MTV or something, and oh my god, just seriously cool. All this great music from that period. He's been a real influence on me actually. That whole time, in fact, but I think I'd choose him as the example from then."
