As soon as the needle hit this record I knew that this had to be sampled. Turns out the genius rapper, the late Guru and his team had already done so in 2003 on his song "Skills". Lonnie Liston Smith and many other artists were a part of this musical masterpiece and it was arranged by a man who seems to appear on a lot of songs I really enjoy, Horace Ott. The type of Lp that I can listen to in a sitting from start to finish.
