There are some critical old cuts in here (from Xscape all the way back to ESG’s super post-punk jam) and some sizzlin’ new joints (like Jazzy Jeff and Lil’ Brother or like the Bugz remixing Slope). I think the lesson here is that it was, is, and always will be right NOW. That’s why Oh No can refry some 70’s soul, and The Roots can rep Doug E. Fresh like he just dropped. If you follow this line of thinking, then you will be rewarded at the end with some of the most sophisticated soul on the gods’ green: The Grand Dutchess herself, Nina Simone.
