(From It Takes A Thief album; 1994)
The Coolio song which was never a single but really shoulda been. Certainly, it was the song The Source magazine's review of Coolio's debut album identified as the jam, and the song I rewound the most after Fantastic Voyage. Obviously the Everlasting Love sample helps, but Coolio brought some vivid lived-in autobiographical pathos from his own time on the pipe.
If KMD's Black Bastards album had dropped as was intended in 1994 then Sweet Premium Wine surely would have been the follow-up single to What A N*ggy Know? Name me a more anthemic song from Black Bastards which the iconic duo of Zev Luv X & Subroc both rhyme on. I'll wait.

What A N@ggy Know? will always be my fave KMD tune.
I possibly concur. Need DOOM's missus to release the shelved video for it - I wanna see how DOOM & Sub were dressing and acting in the Black Bastards era.
Did they ever release a remastered version of Black Bastards?? Great album but the listening quality was iffy.
I've heard snippets of a cleaner mix, but it sounded wrong imho. The rawness adds to why it's such a great album.
Do you like the first KMD album also?
Alex Reece used that horn sample towards the end of Can O Corn for his D&B classic Pulp Fiction.
Takes A Thief is a good album. Been playing County Line a bit myself recently.
Of course. 3 classic albums in a row for Zev Luv DOOM in the 90s.
N Da Closet is another fave from the first Coolio album.
That Weird Al Yankovic ”biopic” did Coolio dirty, imo.
Coolio versus Weird Al was as random a beef as Suge Knight versus Kevin Federline.
the jody watley sample on "WANK" (lol acronym) is so killer I cant believe no one else ever tried it
