The Daily Hit: Little Brother - Speed

June 20th, 2009 at 6:02 pm // Tags: , ,

Probably my favorite cut off The Listening. 9th Wonder with some magnificent production sampling “And I Love Her” by Bobby Womack. Good ish to bump when you just need a moment to relax…slow down.

“Another day to face, I’m share cropping in the paper chase // Take a deep breath and clear my database // It’s afternoon, I’m talking shit to my alarm clock // Cuz I gotta face this world of capitalistic onslaught”

Chillin, bumpin some American Gangster on a rainy Thursday. Can’t beleive I still haven’t actually seen the movie…I know, I’m slackin. Production by Just Blaze, samples The Isley Brothers “Between the Sheets” (same sample used for Big Poppa, obviously).

“‘When them tops come down, chicks tops come down // When them shots come out make cops come around // When the blocks come out I can wake up a small town // Finish off the block then I make my mall rounds // Stares get exchanged then the 5th come out // Tough guy disappear, then the bitch come out // That’s him - I’m usually what they whisper bout // Either what chick he with, or his chip amount…”

The Daily Hit: Nas - Don’t Body Ya Self

June 17th, 2009 at 2:51 pm // Tags: ,

I had forgot about this joint for a while, but I rediscovered it while bumpin an old school playlist. Remember after “Piggy Bank” the 50 diss tracks had the internet goin nuts? I’d say Jada’s > This > Fat Joe’s (which was better than expected, but I can’t find it on youtube).

“Everybody get low niggas // Dedicated to the fuck Nas coalition // Touch my dough I’m lettin, 40 cals blow nigga // Not cals with four legs, but cals with more lead // That add up more dead, it’s on nigga // I’ma bury them // Niggas don’t want beef they vegetarian // Scared of pussy you climbed out a caesarian // I push ya grown ass back in your mothers womb // You need nine more months, your crews nine more punks…”
