"If You Can Huh You Can Hear" vs "I'll Be Missing You"

Just for the record, I was living in NYC when both of these songs came out. They came out around the same time, Summer of 97. I knew people that couldn't stand Puff Daddy and swore up and down that Mos Def was better, those people copped the Soundbombing and Lyricist Lounge LPs, but then again, I doubt if those albums went gold.

If You Can Huh You Can Hear - Mos Def

I forgot about this Mos Def single. I think I still have in on vinyl somewhere from one of my first trips to Fat Beats. ? I feel old.

Anyway it's not my favorite song but it's definitely better than that Puffy joint in my opinion.
