Good idea for a thread. This is another genre where I’m an enthusiast but not a scholar, so it will be cool to get exposed to stuff I haven’t heard before.

First track that comes to mind in the vein of what you started with…

I love Guru’s flow and voice. RIP.

Something a little different. Not sure how to categorize this one, somewhere in the chin-scratcher, conscious, concept type of thing?

I remember hearing this when it came out in 2002 and feeling that it perfectly described my feelings about my job. And here I am with the same job and same feelings today! Lovely.

Good stuff. KRS-One is an all-time great for sure.

And WTF at that J. Cole vid. I read the comment on YT kind of explaining it but I wonder what, if any, followup there ever was?
