It's so interesting to see this and what their thought process was for making beats. What a time. And Godfather Don was so underrated!

Really? I'm surprised.

He's got a lot of really good beats from back then. The fact that he produced some Ultramagnetic stuff is enough to put him at the top.

Yea growing up I didn't like the way Ultramagnetic rap... (I know better now ) and I see that Godfather Don produced on Screwball 3 albums and I like that group.
