   indieguy311 says I don't know if it technically falls within the category (that's a new name for it, anyway, for me) but The Choice is Yours by Black Sheep is one of my favorites within the old thinking-man's rap genre.

   Oatmeal says Yeah, I had that tape too. Great album. They were like the second gen of native tongues, more akin to Low End Theory and Buhloone Mindstate.

   Oatmeal says Oh is that was that is? I was referring to a sub-genre in the 80's when the line between hip-hop and house music was blurred. "Check it at Wiki":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_house

   Marco1019 says I recall that hip-house label getting used in the 80s, but it didn't last very long IIRC. The sample used for this track is funky. I like that they let it play out for the last minute or so to finish out the track & album.

   Oatmeal says Yeah, that is what made it feel like a dance track to me.
