I know some people can't stand this record - my gf for one - but i can't help loving it. Many of you will disagree, but I honestly think "My Little Donkey" & "I Hope It Rains Coffee" are some genius hip hop music right there. I guess the "You'll Like It Too"-break combined with a Spanish children's song equals genius to me then. I almost find it hard to believe it was produced in 1986, before "I Know You Got Soul".Thanks to last year's reissue the demand in Japan seems to have disappeared and the originals go for reasonable amounts again. The reissue is still available as well.
