Takin’ Em Back – 8/22

22 08 2008

Way back at that. If you’ve heard The Game’s LAX album, then you’ve heard how producer Nottz flipped this sample on “Ya Heard” which features Ludacris. Aside from it being sampled recently, its a classic ol’ school track which reminds me of the early days of hip hop. I wonder if joints like this would be successful today? Regardless it’s a classic one.

Newcleus – Jam On It

Seeing that I grew up on Mega Man joints, I love this vid. Missy’s been innovative from day one and with Hype Williams doing a majority of her vids, that’s instant classic shit. Over 10 years later and this beat still goes hard.

Busta Rhymes & Hype Williams gotta be the sickest dudes to make videos. I could’ve posted many joints from Busta’s videography, but this one is my favorite. The video is hella active, and the beat is insane!

Busta Rhymes – Gimmie Some Mo’

Seeing Rae & Ghost do this joint at Rock The Bells last weekend reminded me of how dope this track was. R.I.P. Ol Dirty!

This was my joint when I was a young one! If you from the West, then you definitely was up on this track. It’s crazy how the summer is almost over and it still doesn’t feel like it. Maybe its just me? But peep the vid!

Seeing that it’s the August 1st it’s only right that I post this. This was the shit! Bone Thugs is definitely one of the best rap groups to ever do it.

The only way to sum this up is classic! From the video, to the beat, to Inspecktah Deck’s unforgettable opening verse, everything about it is timeless.
