A wildly inventive blend of funk, electro, gospel and rap that pushed Southern hip-hop into the future. 'B.O.B.' and 'Ms. Jackson' anchor it. Restless, joyful and ahead of its time. Holds up as a strong record in its own right, not just context.
On vinyl: 2000s vinyl is increasingly rare second-hand — a repress is usually the easiest route.
