This tune laid down a gauntlet for a different sort of hip hop ....that was never picked up by any other artists. The lyrics are delivered in a unique way and the stream of conciousness style suits Tricky better than any of his solo work.
I can relate to this tune in a way I will never (as much as I love it none the less) to US Hip Hop.
I fear that Massive Attacks moment in the sun has passed ....the moment where "Here Comes the Sun" drops into this tune is inspirational.
Put on Wally Babarou "Mambo" afterwards - the tune on which Daydreaming is based. Absolutely beautiful - makes me wonder about when they heard it and realised it would be perfect for freestyling over.
Daydreaming represents the future ....but is left in the past
