Some people dont realize that Hutch is the one who really pioneered the " G-Funk " production. For example Dre bit this song for a certain 2Pac song on All Eyez On Me

Which song? And how? As if both didn't use Funkadelic.

I love this intro. Forget about the rest of the song . The instrumental and the voice "May dollars flow" is so dope. Anybody can just spit some dope rhymes to the instrumental just to be playing around. Cold 187 is a phenomenal producer.

[@CHUUMPASS]

it's been a quarter of a century since I first discovered this, was blasting this in my walkman during a nocturnal highschool gym event back in '94. used to trade tapes with a classmate who was equally into rap music, he was lucky and got a hold of this rare gem of an album (even more of a rare gem in mid 1990s germany I tell ya!) and recorded it on tape for me. haven't seen him in over two decades, now I wonder where he's been and if he is fine and still around even (heavy dope fiend even back then already) damn how time flies. sentimentals, anyways, have a good one everybody!
