"‘I set the mic in flames, my name’s INS the REBEL’ - Deck’s verse on the original ‘Got My Mind Made Up’ is straight heat!! Respect to one of the illest emcees to ever do it - Wu Wednesday 👐
No cap, “To Da Beat Ch’all” is a slept on ‘96 banger - Erick Sermon’s production slaps with that funky head noddin’ beat & MC Breed understood the assignment. Criminally underrated track - RIP Breed 🕊️
Mr DJ put the Wheelz of Steel to work on this track, the scratching is next level!! Underrated Outkast joint imo.
Quik is a GENIUS for this beat, laced up the heat & 2Pac murdered the track! Heartz Of Men is a classic & Pac was in the ZONE on this one!! 🔥🔥
Linda Clifford’s Never Gonna Stop was sampled in both 2Pac’s All Eyez on Me & Nas’ Street Dreams - Which hits harder?
Erick Sermon flipped that Stevie Wonder loop with slick finesse - Jamal’s Keep It Real (1995) is a timeless banger!! 💥
Erick Sermon, the Green Eyed Bandit, one of the illest producers to snatch a mic - been lacing gems & spitting heat since the late 80s from EPMD to Def Squad! My top 3 solo tracks right here: - Music (2001) - Bomdigi (1995) - Stay Real (1993) HM: Maintain (1996) 🔥🔥
Props to Bill Withers for spitting game to UGK on navigating the music industry before clearing the sample of “Use Me” (1972) on “Use Me Up” (1992) 💿 Respect to the Soul King & Pimp C 🕊️
30 years later & still trying to decide who’s verse went harder - Rae & Ghost had that chemistry on lock 🔒 They both snapped!! Wu Wednesday 👐
July 1995 The Source: The King of NY Takes Over - Notorious B.I.G. 👑
Who had the tightest chemistry on the following ‘95 release? 🎤🧪 - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. - Dogg Food. - The Infamous. - Dah Shinin’. Drop your take below.
20 years from now, I could listen to this album & still feel like it just dropped. The South had something to say, for real.
Big props to the OGs bringing HEAT on this gem - Ice Cube, Scarface, Bushwick Bill, all repped hard. Kool G Rap’s verse though, a lyrical kill shot!! - ‘Two To The Head’ 🔥🔥
