Having had the time apart to put aside their differences and a couple of stabs at a reunion on soundtracks in '97, Brand Nubian can now return to their finest form at the time when they are needed most.
Jamar surprisingly has the best and last verse of all three in which he chastizes rap artists who drop a hot single and think they're on top of the world: if you don't stay on top of your game and drop a solid album, that's the end of your career.
This advice might sound hackneyed and cliche coming from other MC's, but as rap veterans with a decade of experience under their belt (Puba in particular already had a career with Masters of Ceremonies before joining Brand Nubian) the messages ring true and are delivered with more than competent craftsmanship.

Although its skillful hip-hop style was linked with the Native Tongues movement when it burst out of the New York City suburbs in 1990, Brand Nubian never earned the kind of universal love given to "conscious" contemporaries A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul.
Factor in Brand Nubian's virulent, indefensible homophobia, and the public outrage far overshadowed any of the group's otherwise laudable messages of fl uplift.
Tensions were high internally as well -- lead rapper Grand Puba and DJ Alamo quit in 1991, leaving Lord Jamar and Sadat X to continue with limited success until Brand Nubian dissolved in the mid-'90s.
