Description
For several months after the release of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooths Mecca and the Soul Brother, it seemed as if all East Coast hip-hop copied their sound: jazzy, swinging horns, supple yet booming bass made for the jeeps, and Rocks ad-libs (Whoo! Uh-huh!) peppered amidst Smooths smooth, metaphysical rhymes. The album is highlighted by one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time in They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.), where C.L. pays homage to his stepfather before ending with a tribute to Heavy D & the Boyzs Troy Trouble T-Roy Dixon, who died in 1990. Elsewhere, Anger in the Nation breaks down the countrys sociopolitical troubles.
