Jemini The Gifted One's break through single release in 1995 . Produced by Organized Konfusion the song features the sample from "Ain't That a Bitch" by Johnny "Guitar" Watson. "Funk Soul Sensation made noise on college radio and underground mix tapes. Mercury Records released Jemini EP's in 1995 which was only made available on vinyl as a promotional release(promo only) copy. That particular EP has always remained a very rare piece of hip hop history.

I've been listening to hip hop for 17 years and I cant remember loving a song so much as this one. Sure, I've had songs accompanying me in different stages of my life (worst come to worst, ante up, some Primo, some gospel rap) but nothing compares to this one. Maybe I got old and my tastes have settled. Or maybe it just ticks well with my persona. Haven't been tired once listening to it. Im just so grateful :)

As someone that absolutely loves hip-hop at its core to the point of getting 93 'til Infinity blasted across their chest I'ma go ahead and make the statement (opinion) that this is one of the dopest songs of all time. The lyrical content and insanely mad concept that is two completely different flows, both of which are quite immaculate, performed by a single emcee is absolutely genius on a galactic level. Songs like this need to be carried on to future generations through people that love and support real hip-hop. For anyone that didn't catch it the whole idea of this song and his name are an analogy....The zodiac sign "gemini" has to do with two different people or personalities...hence this dude being the gifted one AND the funk soul sensation. I'm fuckin with it yo this is the epitome of real hip-hop.

What's crazy is this type of creativity was the norm back then. You couldn't get on unless you sounded unique and came mad creative with it. I remember when this single dropped. I picked it up at the local record spot and thought it was dope, but nothing too unusual. It's hard to understand looking at it from a 2020 time frame, but labels wasn't signing groups back then if they sounded like anybody else. You'll hear stories about that--like how Def Jam didn't sign Nas cuz he sounded too much like G Rap, and so on. That's why you had De La Soul, Black Moon, Ghetto Boys, Cella Dwellas, Wu Tang, Lords of the Underground, Mobb Deep, Pharcyde, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Souls of Mischief and Del, Red Man, EPMD, Das Efx, Public Enemy, Outkast, Krs One, Ice Cube, MOP, Black Sheep, Fugees, Naughty by Nature, and A Tribe Called Quest just rockin it, like it was nothing. And that's just a small percentage of all the dope acts you had back then. Golden Era indeed!

I wanna hear flows not singular words over and over again. True Hip Hop is about literature and intelligence yet these fools today wanna symbolize hip hop with retarded wordplay and downright pointless effort thinkin their doin somethin when in reality they are doing NOTHING!
