I don't care for the segues AT ALL. I think they come across more "lame" than funny.

But at least it ain't Goldnigga. ill

I don't hate it that much. But I'm always thankful for a Return of the Bump Squad chaser. lol

Exodus is odd, but it's WAY better than GoldNigga :p

I think Cherry Cherry is DELIBERATELY bad.

It's clearly from the vantage point of some kid in high school. I think it's supposed to be like that. Honestly.

There were better Exodus era songs to put on that album, though. Sonny's version of Love Thy Will B Done, It Takes Three, Mad and Funky Design are all much better than Cherry Cherry. If you ain't heard a Prince bootleg, you ain't heard Prince's music.

Love the guitar on that version of Love Thy Will Be Done, wish I had a studio version of Prince singing that version.

I don't have much love for Sonny's Funky Design. Prince's version released through NPGMC was much, much better.

I kinda like it too, but the lyrics make me feel like I missed something. Like the part that would make me sad about her death or something.

I like it. There are times when soul overrides elementary lyrics. The bg vox took time and I appreciate that.

My favorites from that album though are The Exodus has Begun (a masterpiece except for the wack scratching) and Count the Days.
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.

I love 'Cherry Cherry'. It's a twisted take on Philly Soul, it totally works IMO. cool

It's tracks like this that are the hidden gems, for me any way.

Is it a high school for the developmentally challenged?
Is the kid writing it in Special Ed?
Are there lots of little yellow buses in the school parking lot?

I like most of the album, but this is definitely one of the tracks to skip
