Did this make any noise when it came out?
I remember seeing an Ad in The Source and that was it, I dont know anyone in my city who copped it, never saw it in shops (here or London) basically nothing.

I picked it up this year (saw it in a London store for the first time) and I cant believe how good it is.
I just don't understand how this album slipped into obscurity, maybe sounded a bit soft at the time? I really don't know but here in 2014 its getting spun daily.

    I was not checking for anything but mainstream hip hop in 1991 (age related) so I had never heard of this album until this thread.

    A quick youtube search brought up a few songs that definitely sound like they could be #1-Classics in someone's private mindgarden. Will keep an eye out for this when out in the field.

    Thanks for posting it!

    I've got a sealed original of this if anyone wants it for $5 plus shipping.

    Never heard of ESP, but this is quite an early use of Nautilus:

    I bumped this back in the day. It was kind of lesser known like Rappin' Is Fundamental and Powerule.

    "Fingertips" is a cool cut. Two different mixes on the 12, both of them solid. Never heard the whole album, though.

    Select had some good stuff. I liked Brothers Uv Da Blakmarket, Positively Black, KGB, and the BTX:

    Yep, Select put out quite a few albums around the early 90's, I always liked the A-TEAM album.
