Too Legit to Quit

A maximalist pivot toward stadium-sized anthems and social consciousness. Dense production, gospel choirs, and the peak of early-90s high-fidelity pop rap.

October 27, 1991 · Toshiba EMI Ltd

Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, multi-tracked choral explosion on the title track that signals a shift from club rap to stadium anthem.
The somber, synth-heavy atmosphere of Street Soldiers which trades dance moves for a serious look at urban violence.
The relentless, James Brown-indebted percussion break in Gaining Momentum that pushes the tempo to its limit.
