makes me want to throw a heavy object at my stereo.

What a lyrical turd.

I find the whole album a little weird!

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.

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

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

And New Power Soul.

I like Cherry Cherry. I like Arms Of Orion.

Suck on that, bitches.

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.

Cherry's dead. I'm so glad the bitch is gone.

Its not weak, its Sonny's falsetto is different from P's.

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.

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

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

Ok, Imma try to go with you on this for a sec...
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?
