Diamond D and the Psychotic Neurotics - Sally got a one track mind

The album breaks down as follows:


Side A
1 - Sally got a one track mind (Edited LP version)
2 - Sally got a one track mind (Showbiz remix)

Side B
1 - Check one, two (LP version)
2 - Sally got a one track mind (Two track beatdown)


The song at it's core, the lyrics, is what a consider to be a perfect hip hop song. It's a story that draws you in with interesting wordplay, amazing delivery and content anyone can relate to. To varying degrees of course. It's the tale of a young woman who lives life the fast, easy and frankly dumb way. She chooses to date men who abuse her because they have money. She's fallen victim to herself. We hear her go from a young woman with promise to just another neighborhood ho.
The production was what first lead me to discover Diamond D. His crew, the D.I.T.C. (Diggin in the crates) is literally the cream of the crop of 90's hip hop. Members include Big L, DJ Premier, KRS-ONE, Big Pun, Brand Nubian and many more. Diamond seems to have super crate diggin powers, his ears trained to hear the best samples. Literally play any beat he's produced and you'll see his amazingness. One beat that comes to mine is "feel it", which I will review shortly.




Thanks for reading.
