it isn’t so much that i think it’s the best album ever, just that i had to have ice-t-like fortitude in surviving the game to hunt down ini’s “center of attention” online. it wasn’t so much that i really wanted it, either, just that we were talking about it at work and how the album survives despite it’s just-above-mediocre mc’s and writing. all the production is amazing, but many amazing sounding albums have fallen flat due to vocals. in fact, center of attention was released as part of a dual-disc “underground soul classics,” and the second disc, was deda’s, “the original baby pa,” remembered for its beat-detracting vocals. one internet note said, and probably should be discounted, “harsh, at times irritating….” what a bummer. to have an unreleased set come out, one a classic and the other a dud. what does that remind you of? you got it. twins. ooh, or these twins. except both of them are classics.
