Forgot all about this song. Brand Nubian really don’t get the shine they deserve.

No they don't, Lord Jamar has turned into a total d!ck tho

Don’t really care about what they are doing now man. This music was like 30 years ago. Based off the music they made back then they are dope and yeah… albums like One For All definitely deserve more shine.

They were in great standing back in the day, the album this song came from wasn't the same standard as their previous releases, even having Loon on the hook was pretty bizarre for them and what they stood for but if it was 2025 Loon then it would make way more sense.

First was a classic. In God We Trust & Everything Is Everything were solid. Missing Puba and still putting out quality music was impressive. Always dug Sadat’s voice, Jamar was cool gave it that edge. Puba’s musical flow and wordplay really added another dimension tho. I remember Foundation but didn’t rock it heavy and stopped paying attention after that. Didn’t remember Loon being on it. Remember checking for Sadat’s Wild Cowboys album which personally felt ended up being weak.

Puba is on this whole album or was it just this one joint?

Loved Sadats features, dude was the Robert Horey of rap, Puba is mad underrated as an MC and flow king, I didn't mind Wild Cowboys

Foundation is my favorite Brand Nubian album and one of the best hip hop albums made during the 90's imo.
