Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, rolling bassline of The Ghetto that transforms a simple loop into a cinematic street anthem.
Ice Cube's aggressive guest verse on Ain't Nothin' but a Word to Me providing a sharp contrast to Short's laid-back flow.
The extended, seven-minute technical display of Rap Like Me where the minimalist beat allows every syllable to land with weight.
