Even my rabid 2Pac Stanboy m8 thinks Brenda's Got A Baby is corny, but I've got a soft spot for the song, meself. Forget The Rose That Grew From Concrete, Brenda's Got A Baby is the manure that Slick Rick's All Alone (No One To Be With) grew from.
I need to see another boring sausage-fest Rap video of lads mean-muggin' in a parking lot like Jaws needs a raincoat. Square rappers & your social circles take note - the realest shit Lupe Fiasco ever wrote was "anything look good with a titty next to it, and the titty got a face that's pretty next to it."
Top 5 Rap songs I need to drop ASAP: Ya Boy Big Choo's Hustlas remix, Ezale's Hotel Motel, Eatem & Johnny Hustle's Stamina, and Duke Deuce's Just Say That and Lock Em In The Trunk remake.
Sum shit that bugs me out: a Little Shawn B-side called Check It Out Y'all was the spark which ignited 2Pac's beef with Biggie because that's the song 2Pac was supposed to record a guest verse for the night he was robbed and shot at Quad Studios in 1994. Probably woulda sounded good on that shit too because 2Pac & Easy Mo Bee production was the proverbial Good Combination™.
Sux that it took Traxamillion dying for me to remember how good the original Slapp Addict version of Too $hort's Shittin' On 'Em is. Peak disrespectful $hort over one of Traxamillion's dumbest knocks, it makes a far better Burn Rubber sequel than the actual Burn Rubber Part 2.
The realest shit Homeboy Sandman ever wrote is either "the city is a multitude of alleys where I've peed" from Unraveling or "I love taking a leak between waking and sleep" from Monument. Rap music is a diuretic - yeah I said it!!
I like that Little Shawn song.
ReplyDeleteGotta like a Greg Nice type flow over an Easy Mo Bee beat.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to both of those Homeboy Sandman lines.
ReplyDeleteThe paradox of ageing where it's annoying to have to get up once a night to piss, but it's always the most satisfying piss you'll have that day. The Yin & The Wang.
ReplyDeleteAfter listening to 2Pac and rap in general for over 20 years, I'm still not sure if I like him as an artist.
