I want to live in a world where social media celebrity shitheads shill for Young Jr's Bird Walk rather than those two boring songs by Young Slo-Be.
Thinking about what the first great Rap remix was and my pick would be BDP's Remix For P Is Free. It's the first remix which is both significantly different and significantly better than the original innit. Pretty impressive when you consider how bad most Rap/Reggae hybrids tend to be.
People often refer to Mac J as Bris' sidekick but look back at old videos like Difference and it's Bris who is Mac J's little homie. Bris just happened to have a song blow up before Mac.
Never trust any DJ who plays the College Dropout version of Slow Jamz with the stupid added orchestral breakdown rather than the single version from Twista's album which was the big hit. KanYe Pest: ruining his own music with delusions of artistic grandeur since 2004.
You know what song really should have been on Ego Trip's The Big Playback compilation? Scuffin' Those Knees by The New Style AKA the 1989 single by Treach, Vin Rock & Kay Gee before they changed their name to Naughty By Nature.
Tired: I Can't Feel My Face by Lil' Wayne. Wired: Find My Legs by Yuno Miles.
The two best songs to come out on Def Jux are Hold The Floor by Camu Tao and Murs Iz My Manager by Mr. Lif & Murs, and it's no coincidence that both songs contain zero musical contribution from El-P. Sincere rest in peace to Camu - we'll always have the time you chinned Copywrite.

Interesting to see those early Mac J videos (also listened to "Winners" earlier today). You can see the building blocks for his post 2018 work was already there, but he still had to grow a bit into his voice and flow, and I think he leveled up lyrically as well. Saying goodbye to using autotune on the hook also did wonders. That said, Panhandling is a great song and deserves all due praise.
I really don't understand the draw of Def Jux and how El-P has a career, let alone being part of a critically acclaimed group also featuring Killer Mike. He really does ruin everything Mike touches with that cacophonous production which sounds like he lets his mom pick random sounds on FruityLoops and puts them together in the worst way possible.
El-P's rapping is very painful on the ear too imo.
totally agree that Slo-Be been boring lately
Did Remix For P Is Free come out before Paid in Full (Seven Minutes of Madness - the Coldcut Remix? Great pick, regardless.
Yeah, Criminal Minded dropped very early 1987 according to the 'net.
Seems odd for EL P and Def Jux to still be at the forefront of anybody's mind in 2022. Makes about as much sense as getting misty-eyed over a bout of food poisoning you suffered twenty years ago.
Hold The Floor and Murs Iz My Manager are timeless classics. That particular thought was inspired by a mate telling me I need to properly listen to the Cannibal Ox album.
Not for nothing the real problem with Cannibal Ox is that Vast Aire might be a worse rapper than anyone in Company Flow was as a rapper or producer.
Also Spice is on that Nick Cannon show Wildn out right now which I just find amusing cause I never thought random dance hall artist I discovered through this blog would be on national TV in 2022.
Good ol' Spice 😄
Crowley, best thing Vast Aire ever did was his MySpace blog dis to Cage.
FUCK CAGE & WEATHERMEN
