Pete Rock: 'New York hasn't had an album like this in such a long time.'

A few things that caught my attention while watching this promo video for Pete Rock's upcoming NY's Finest:

• The thought of 9th Wonder and his mama nodding their heads to a Pete Rock beat makes me chuckle.
• Don't let Diddy hear any of this lovefest, Kanye. He invented the remix, remember?
• The "Shut 'Em Down" remix was that ish.
• "Age is not a factor when you're a genius." Pharrell better preach up in here.
• Love Pete's Beat Street-inspired Spit LV t-shirt.
• Renee Neufville!
• Rell?
• So Pete said that "New York hasn't had an album like this in such a long time." Damn skippy.
• Jim Jones is one dusty mofo. He makes me want to take a shower.
• I don't ever picture myself listening to Jim Jones on my way to church even if he is on a Pete Rock beat, but that's just me.

I'm mad excited for this CD to drop. Anyone else? Mark your calendars for February 26th.
