My n*gga Hell gave me what I want, I gave him a Slim Shady verse
12 racks for the Cuban, you n*ggas act stupid
Bitch, I ain't lookin' for no love, I'll whack Cupid"
Hellboy Rodd ft. Rio Da Yung OG - Talk Yo Shit
(From YouTube; 2020)
Top 5 reasons why this is ya host's favourite Rio Da Yung OG double-act track since Movie: cognisance of each other's presence on the song, genuine chemistry between both rappers, the impression that neither artist is just spittin' the first thing to spring to mind during their first take, none of Rio's gross rhymes about sex, a beat which slaps like bacon on a biscuit.
Can't believe I posted this one before Pink Chardonnay.
Yeah this song's hot. I feel it's almost a dayjob to keep up with Rio, I heard he did around 500 songs/features last year lol.
ReplyDeleteInsanely low batting average but when he hits, he hits.
I concur.

ReplyDeleteOff topic, but how certain are you that The Southern Way EP by UGK was in fact first released in 1988 instead of somewhere between 1990-1992? Stumbled onto Pimp C's 1988 demo Under Ground King (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ms6viVStb8) where I think his voice doesn't sound as deep as it does on the OG version of Cocaine in the Back of the Ride. Furthermore, in his first verse, he says he's 16, which would make this song either from '89 or '90 if I'm not slacking my math. So if Cocaine in the Back of the Ride was recorded after Under Ground King, that would make it from somewhere between '90 and '92, right?

ReplyDelete"50 for a verse when I get out"
Ray, did not need to hear Auto-Tuned Rio trying to sing 😄
ReplyDeleteYohan, it was internet bullshit about it bring from 1988 (albeit internet bullshit I fell for.) Yeah, definitely more likely 1990 to 1991 innit.
southern way liner notes say "UGK IN 92 BUCK UP BITCH!"
ReplyDeleteGotta have been recorded earlier than 1992 tho since it dropped first 1/4 that year no?
ReplyDeleteThere was a ton of chicanery w dates in 90s rap - large pro says no, dre’s fururistic y2k debacle n sick wid it adding extra yrs on to their packaging for longevity, so when ppl on the other side of the country caught up it wouldnt seem dated. the last one is funny cos when jive reissued iirc the mail man, the og appeared to have come out the yr after its reissue lol
ReplyDelete😄
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd date the EP to be recorded and possibly released in 1991. I don't think the deeper voices on the LP versions of the songs are the work of a few months or better recording equipment.
ReplyDelete@d, didn't E-40 speak on that in a DJ Vlad interview? I forgot where I heard about that.
Conversely: what's your favourite E-40, solo or The Click, release?
In A Major Way and The Mail Man EP for me.
ReplyDeleteCant remember where i heard it but he always been saying stuff like mr flamboyant came out in 89 etc, even if artists rarely have a good grasp of their own timelines hes too consistent w his. Werners post on it was first i heard though http://wernervonwallenrod.blogspot.com/2010/12/e-40-click-week-day-5-mail-men.html
