Yo, Nikoless, you know the deal?
Looks like the album got reissued in the UK:

Whatsup, Parkz.
Good album, but I'm not sure how highly rated it is, since it's largely unknown over here--it may be one of those cases where a group that was pretty obscure in the U.S. managed to make a lot more noise in the U.K.
"Ni**a For Hire" = one of the alltime great ignorant rhymes.
Actually, revisiting it, it's only the third verse that's a contender:
Girlfriend was cute and fine
But one thing: the b***h was color blind
She said she went to Harvard
I met her at a time when you could say I was starvin'
But I had a talent in rappin'
Seemed like overnight s**t started happenin'
She took me home to meet her folks
Right away pops quoted corny s**t Shakespeare wrote
Mom sits down to the table
And gives me a autographed picture of Clark Gable!?[/b]
They reminded me of my last name
Considered themselves upperclass, man, but a bunch of lames
Father and daughter eatin' caviar
When I'm thinkin of makin' the daugher my personal porn star
I'm sure her parents knew I wanted to knock her
This Mary Lou Retton type of a girl who was too proper
To be my complexion
She was, but never felt a real n****'s erection
We had chemistry for the formula I was fixin'
When we got togeher I felt like I was race-mixin'
So I ended the affair not with a bang but a nut
I liked everything about her till her mouth opened up
I cut her off to avoid slappin her
A perfect couple but one color was out of character
What's these type of peoples' desire
Another sample of a n***a for hire
I even heard a few adventurous DJs over here dropping that joint into house sets back in the day. as was the case with a lot of uptempo joints like "Wrath Of Kane", "Portrait of a Masterpiece" and Divine Styler's "Ain't Sayin' Nothing".
