N.O.R.E ft. Busta Rhymes, Game & Waka Flocka Flame - Lehhhgooo
(From Crack On Steroids mixtape; 2012)
On paper the disparate line-up of N.O.R.E's latest minor-classic single reads like the absolute worst kind of pathetic pandering to regional radio markets by N.Y Rappers, right? I totally dismissed Lehhhgoooo for that very reason during my initial skim through Crack On Steroids until I was forced to re-investigate after hearing its quasi-jolly French tones on the Kenny Powers video. Thing is, N.O.R.E and a rowdy former Queens Dunn-Rap ex-pat like Waka are actually a pretty good stylistic match for each other; as for Game, he's found his way back into my good books after his recent antics resulted in the best Rap GIF of 2012 thus far, so I don't mind admitting that he almost steals the song with his opening line of "somebody walked up and told me N.O.R.E shot somebody so I shot him and turned up my Rakim", and you can always just pretend he's Imam Thug or MusaliNY if you still find him an objectionable presence on the original non-video version up top.

That lines too much of a Game line for me to enjoy it, I like how he bragged about factory rims though.
I like this.
A-Mafia and N.O.R.E are the only N.Y Rappers who should ever be allowed to make more than 2 songs per year from now on.
Still sleeping on free hugs era AG?
'Fraid so.
Love this. Always felt it was more of Queens thug take on that Danza Kuduro tune off the Fast Five soundtrack.
