Had fun posting about everything from Grand Puba deep cuts to U.K handbag-house classix to David Bowie giving his blessing to Suga Free's most hateful song to Only Fools & Horses back tattoos to the best slaps of the past half-decade this month. Had WAY more fun away from t'internet blastin' these songs, though. Hat tip to RMH for the BallGreezy track - who'd a thunk Waviness woulda been splashin' up on the Miami strip club circuit back in 2007?

Other notables: also really dug Devils Team by Nef & The Pharaoh & Mozzy; woulda dug Mozzy's Be Here if it weren't for the cack hook which sounds like it's been copy & pasted in from another song entirely; ditto Candy Red by Slim 400 et al; waitin' to dig Ezale's Day One but it still only exists as an Instagram snippet.
Needs more Boosie
ReplyDeleteSome gems here lid.

ReplyDeleteNo love for Ka's "30 Keys"?
ReplyDeleteIt's okay.
ReplyDeleteJacquees mixtape is v good
ReplyDeletehow are you just now hearing "Shone" smh
ReplyDeleteThe same way you never heard any Max until he was locked up.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there was any overlapping influence with Shone since Byrd Gang were always up in Miami back in 2007? Maybe Max and BallGreezy just did the same drugs in the same clubs and both caught THE WAVE?
lol i heard max before he was locked up, i just never kept up w/ him

Ah I did notice a few sped up versions of Shone when I was on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteNever heard any of these Miami songs before. Nice.
Man y'all snapped on each other. Ain't no spat like a rap blogger spat!
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, Ballgreezy is currently being managed by Jim Jones. Only God knows if he'll eventually write bitter songs about bumping uglies with Chrissy Lampkin.
Also never knew there was a video for "She's So Fly/I'm So High!" Tho I must admit I prefer the original version.
ReplyDeleteI might have a listen to the album Shone comes from.
