"Nautilus" by Bob James is in a million hip hop tracks, but I associate it with "Daytona 500" by Ghostface Killah more than anything else

Through Kanye's FML.
Curren$y's "Leaving the Dock" produced by Harry Fraud features ELO's "Another Heart Breaks." That whole ELO album is pretty good, maybe the best one.

5I'm with you. Honestly, it might be one of my favorite records. I put it on about once a year for a couple days and get weepy, truth be told. I connected with it in a big way as a newish dad going through a lot of stuff. It's honest and raw and, yes, the production is inspired. I know he was never a particularly great dude, but it is tragic what became of him. Thought of him a lot while watching Quest Love's Sly Stone doc.enframed wrote:I still think that album is incredible.

7A long time ago, De La Soul’s “Eye Know” made me aware of “Peg”. And the 12” of Eric B and Rakim’s “Paid In Full” put me onto Ofra Haza’s “Im Nin Alu” which I still love.
