when most people think of faithless they do think of their dancefloor related material since most of their biggest hits have a pounding four on the floor beat and a pizzicato synth hook. but if anyone buys any of their albums one would find a lot of hiphop related and "downtempo" material. i used to think that was garbage since rollo & sister bliss weren't that good of a beatsmiths compared to many of their contemporaries. however maxi jazz had his distinct flow and storytelling abilities and could light up a track like 'baseball cap' (which is a favourite of mine) where the beat is kind of basic.
this track is from the b-side & remixes version of "reverence" called "irreverance" and features maxi jazz throwing it down over a really good beat. he starts off on borrowing a rakim rhyme and then just deliver 32 bars after another.
