“Rap now is a circus of clowns // A whole lot of lip from cliques I’d probably rap circles around // I’m the next best to reach a peak formerly known as the best keep secret // I guess that I just leaked it…”

“The bar is on the floor!”

Another classic LOX interview.

“Who’s a problem? I’m a problem, yall aint solvin shit // I’m a problem like when the tre pound revolver spit // I’m a problem like a child mother and fatherless // Running away from group homes, not gettin far for shit // I’m a problem like an artist improperly marketed // In they first week got em saying “but I worked hard for this” // I’m a problem like approaching this music shit half-assed // I’m a problem like a calculus question in math class // I’m a problem like being drunk, tryna run from the D’s // All out of breath so you decide to hide up under a V // I’m a problem like that dreaded phone call from baby mama // That always starts smooth, but ends in that crazy drama”

Yeah, that’s a long ass quote, but damn Joell goes in on these 125 joints.

“Black Girl Pain” off of Kweli’s ‘04 LP The Beautiful Struggle is probably one of my favorite cuts ever. It’s produced by Midi Mafia and Tone Mason, and features Jean Grae, Yummy and Jamia Nash. Just the soulful vibe of the record made this a standout track, plus the beat drop sets it off for me. After numerous rotations, it occurred to me that the the subtle background vocals you can hear throughout the track is a reversed sample. I’ve been meaning to reverse it back and see what it was, and today I finally got around to doing it (I’m only like 4 years late) . Here’s the clip:

If you listen carefully in the background you can hear the line “A love for each other will bring fighting to an end”. After a little googling I figured out the sample is Diana Ross & The Supremes - Stoned Love. Dope sample, dope track…enjoy.
