"Wake & Bake" is a killer hip-hop tune. Yeah it's a drag to see them
step away from the political stance, but it's not a fall like
Q-Tip's. And I thought the production was great throughout--

I actually like the second one as much as the first one, but then I
like Cypress Hill & other Gangsta rap-- not that I'd classify the
Goats' 2nd as gangsta rap (there's songs like "Rumblefish" on the
subject, but I don't especially remember much glorification-- mostly
the album's about the chronic!)

One man's meat & all, but "avoid at all costs"? Whatever.
