Sampled to death by the 90's hip-hop elite, includingBeastie Boys, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, and A TribeCalled Quest, this Administration-upsetting LPshowcases this former "jazz freak" as a slightly lesscerebral Gil Scott-Heron, with his direct sociallyconscious lyrics layed over some of the funkiest souljazzof the early 70's. A ridiculously rare-groove find foryears, the influence of the LP is incalculable, forging apath for hip-hop and soul that would continue to keepthe music and message of the album relevant to thisday. The man would later produce hit records forRoberta Flack, Gladys Night, and Nancy Wilson, but forfor a time Eugene was not trying to please anyone, butjust kicking back at The Man a little.
