Genius Annotation
An eerie and vivid depiction of the black plight of African Americans. Dilla encourges his brothers and sisters to stay positive and strive for a better life. The construction was done by Dilla’s infamous MPC3000, but the foundation is without a doubt the sample of Eddie Kendrick’s “My People… Hold On”. There are also samples of Asha Bhosle’s “Mujhe Maar Dalo” and brief samples of “Here We Go” by Run DMC and “King Of The Beats” by Mantronix.
