I challenge that. It was definitely in the rotation on the 'hip-Hop and R&B' station where I'm at at the time and it chatted on the same genres on the Bilboard chart. It was the most hip-Hop thing a Marley family member had some to date at the time. I wanna say It got him a job or something working with Jay at the time after Rockefella. Fuzzy on the details of that but it's out there. Dude was even a DJ before this song.

"This is not Russia, this is not China, this is not...the place where they brought down the wall!"

This song is probably more important politically and symbolically and for what was going on at the time in pop music than being a great song.

I wanna say Pete Rock and CL Smooth's 2nd album 1994's 'The Main Ingredient' was, if not the first then I don't know another, grown-man hip-hop record. That's to say the themes were more about living life and maturity over street-life tales or hype ****. Maybe their first one was similar, I never owned that one but I used to rock the hell out of Ingredient. I also graduated High School in 1994 so this was right on time. Also CL Smooth is VERY underrated MC, everybody knows Pete Rock was not just a good but a GREAT producer (horrible rapper of course) but CL never achieved the notoriety I feel as he should have. His flow was effortless and some of these songs on this record, with the intro and out outro beats Rock used may this a rare just push play CD. I Got a Love is just a strong record with relationships themes that wasn't sappy like some of the other more popular tracks (coughcough Mary and Method Man)from other artists at the time.

Even then it's the wrong time frame. If you had posted Shabba Ranks i could have understand.
