Convince me I'm wrong. Deck just destroys it.

The video isn't great, but the song is unreal and the MCing is as usual, flawless. I give you "Don't Sweat The Technique" by Eric B and Rakim.

Dude. How can you argue this is one of the finest songs ever written, nevermind the genre?

Wu-Tang: C.R.E.A.M

 

"I went to jail at the age of 15

A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much

Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch

The court played me short, now I face incarceration

Pacin', going up state's my destination

Handcuffed in back of a bus, 40 of us

Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough

But as the world turns I learned life is Hell

Living in the world, no different from a cell"

Pharcyde: Runnin'

 

"I'm kickin' it in the back of the school eatin' chicken at three

wonderin'.. why is everybody always pickin' on me?

I tried to talk and tell them ''chill I did nothing to deserve this''.

But when it didn't work I wasn't scared just real nervous

and unprepared to deal with scrappin' no doubt

cuz my pappy never told me how to knock a nigga out"

 

"There comes a time in every mans life when he's gotta

handle shit up on his own. Can't depend on friends to

help you in a sqeeze, please, they got problems of their

own"

 

"And as a victim I invented low-key til the keyhole itself got lower than me"

A fantastic group and true innovstors of the genre. I'd also argue that this is possibly the greatest hip hop album of all time.

This being such a merry band of hip-hop lovers, what do you think of this music video I made with my roommate? (hes the rapper, I shot it)

Some crackers on here, but this, along with Express Yourself, is the best hip-hop song ever.

 

It needs to be heard on the album, as just as your anger is ready to boil over listening to Incident at 6.66, this huge pile of untamed aggression surges forth.

 

Genuinely frightening in its day.

There's only 4 minutes of it (a Youtube error). PE in full effect, Brother!

 

 

 

 

 

PS Like it, llego! Good vid and song (though not my cup of tea .... I'm an old school hip hop fan. Or should that be "old skool"?)

Chuck D is a racist cunt, but then empowerment of young black people became such a crucial part of hip hop's rise to popularity.
