Six different mixes of this meeting of two greats. Admittedly not as entirely dope as it could have been, but still as nice as a Soul Sonic Force records with backing by Doug Wimbish and Keith LeBlanc. Also, there's a few interludes with James Brown saying a few words about the record. Nice cover... read more

Lots of extra goodies, in keeping with the usual De La 12" format of the time – the Buhloone Mindstate era, when quality nuggets such as these were few and far between.... read more

2 De La Soul tracks, produced by Jay Dee! "Shoomp" has a blunt synth blip feel, with Jay Dee making nice use of a Tom Tom Club beat. It all plays along very well with guest Sean Paul's dancehall calling. "Much More" has a soft and soulful guest spot by Yummie, and the track... read more

The a-side is the bit hit "Big Poppa", making good use of the Isley Brothers' "Between the Sheets" sample. But the real gem here is "Warning", which uses a sample from Isaac Hayes' amazing version of "Walk On By" and the eerie ending where Biggie gets shot. ... read more

One of the singles pulled from Greg Osby's hip hop crossover LP, 3-D lifestyles. The beats and production were provided by Eric "Vietnam" Sadler, and have that harder early 90s sound tothem, and we forget who the MCs are, though they aren't half bad. The last mix is instrumental.... read more
