Silhouette *- Questlove: "Lots of us just stopped at the Headhunters' "God Made Me Funky" and didn't truly investigate the follow-up. This is another Mobb Deep discovery, from "Drink Away the Pain." (It's a funny song because it speeds up as it goes. Same thing for "Sir Duke," actually. Songs like that are interesting to use in a DJ set because they can invisibly accelerate things.)"
