a 60,s Stax buried treasure
the classic "Call & Response" so typical of 60,s Soul
This one is a buried treasure....
Damn some serious vocals on this one. Love the horn usage as well. Hadn't heard this one before, thanks.

Schoolly D is my second favorite rapper of all time after Guru. This is from his 1988 LP 'Smoke Some Kill'

Of course it samples this classic from Dyke & the Blazers
