J Waters: Blue Skies, Sunshine

This is an awesome track by Masta Ace. The sample used  is called “Lazy Day” by Spanky & Our Gang. It’s an airy, poppy song released in the summer of 1967 about a walk in the park. Masta Ace marvelously turns this track into a critique of the hood, showing how it’s not all good. Really cool how the sample takes the mood into a summer vibe when the lyrics are meant to depict the complete opposite.
