Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless hand-off between Busta and Q-Tip during the intro segments that bridge the gap between their distinct eras.
The sheer velocity of the verses on Respect My Conglomerate 2, where the beat struggles to keep up with the vocal precision.
That specific moment in God's Plan where the soul sample swells and the rhythm settles into a classic New York pocket.
