    Two more that I caught on sight were…

    • Earth Wind & Fire, “Keep Your Head to the Sky” (which you should have caught, missy)

    • Nas, Illmatic

    You get make up points for Diana Ross, “The Boss.” I had Roberta Flack in my head, but I knew it couldn’t be right.

    =)

    Cool. Song is nice, video is awesome. And the monkey is scary indeed.

    The third cover is Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain:

    And I’m sure I saw Let It Be in there somewhere too:

    Oh, you mean the Haile Selassie zine that cha bought from me in February…of…last year?

    Though a lil’ dense with info, it’s only 56 pages. I hope you’re actually fallin’ asleep while reading it, not verifyin’ all my sources. ;)

    Nah, I’m glad you like (’love’ works too) In His Image. But I still think you should have started off by readin’ “The Way We Were” in KFG! #1.
