These guys had a lot to say and they said it clearly

[@jakeuhhb]

One of the dopest on the album. Puba just dropped bar after bar

[@joelsensenig3032]

I never knew that Gang Starr's "Take it Personal" sample came from Grand Puba. Mind blown.

[@N.a.j.i.]

Puba SHOULD be n ya TOP10

[@rongrant9927]

[@B.Phill7]

damn right !!!!!!!!!!

[@mfasiscrackbeats3543]

Puba’s the Man that ran the early to Mid ‘90’s (and Masters of Ceremony). distinct flows, acrobatic and in tune with the beat a bit of humor but always with a message. long live Brand Nubian and Grand Puba and Happy 50th to the culture.

[@stephenheath8465]

Him and Finesse at that time was like a paradigm shift for me,similar to when I first heard Rakim back in 86

[@damonadams3853]

STILL THE MOST UNDERRATED GOD/KING OF THIS HIP-HOP THING!!![999]

This album changed my life growing up in Detroit

[@vincentwilson3938]

That’s peace Lord. You can only imagine what this felt like when it dropped in NY. I was a junior in high school when it came out. Seemed like the whole school knew all the words to each song on the album. They put New Rochelle (Now Rule) on the map

[@kundanlini1]

I lived in Queens from 1994 to 2003.

[@frankstiling9999]

[@erronmcgriff4487]

Brand Nubian was nice without a book Puba was really good especially now that I'm old and I really understand what he was saying

[@dgridfin651]

One of the only records that sounds like a freestyle!!... How dope was hip-hop back then!!

[@korancebland]

You're right. It sounds like he's freestyling. Puba was so fucking dope.

[@CantTellYou]

@@korancebland once a master of ceremony, always...

[@rogerclarke860]

Grand puba always made it sound so effortless!

[@ddixon4964]

This is the essence of mcing Grand Puba putting this nasty nasty beat away in a neck lock so effortlessly " Step up to this"

[@KtotheG]

Kanye West got his style from Grand Puba... he said it... he even used to rock backpacks like Puba.

[@thescatman5029]

@@KtotheG Kanye's a better producer. Don't think his style cops Puba, though! JMHO!

[@KtotheG]

@@thescatman5029 I was talking as a rapper. Puba isn't known as a producer, although he has self-produced a lot of his projects, just like Eminem or Redman. They're all known as rappers first. Kanye came out as a producer, but when he started rappin', he fashioned his approach after Puba.

[@RubenGarcia-rs6vk]

@Jarrel Ely hell yea i mean i love ll but puba came out in 91 LL like early eighties. Puba is more lyrical the only thing is puba dosnt have the long rap career that ll has no one has check puba on brand nubians step to the rear or all for one. Timeless

His flow was epic. He glided across beats with no effort.

[@danielwatts9803]

According to Pete Rock, Puba talked him into learning how to rhyme. At first Pete wasn't trying to hear it but "the rest if history"... we thank you Puba for giving Pete that "pep talk"...

[@sonicmagnus5312]

“ tie your girl to the back of my jeep but naked/slide her monkey ass down the hill/so if you don’t want beef money chill for Petes Sake “ Puba, taught him that 🤨
