Thanks for the error spotting. That's what you get for depending on memory.
Do you know what album this is off of (the original, I mean)? I have it on
countless soul comps. on both vinyl and disc but I'm still looking for the
original.

"*diamond* in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene w/the gangsta lean,
woo-hoo-ooo..."

the "gangsta lean" is a way of checking out what's happening on the street
(i.e. your homies, etc) while still manuevering your vehicle. what you do
is
control the steering wheel w/your pinky (power-steering required) while
(actually) leaning out of the window--as if to say "what up?!"
all you blaxploitation fans know what i'm talking about...

eazy & co. were merely biting the past to embellish the future...
