专辑简介The album is significantly more political than the rapper´s subsequent releases, showing an intelligent, talented, and angry young man (he was only 20 when it came out) who wanted desperately to express and reveal the problems in the urban black community, from racism to police brutality to the seemingly near impossibility of escaping from the ghetto. He pays tribute to artists like Young Black Male , Words Of Wisdom, and Young Black Male, all of whom he also considered to be provoking discussion andIf My Homie reaction, but he also has cleanly carved out an image for himself: articulate and smart, not overtly boastful, and concerned about societal problems, both small and large.
