(From Fever For The Flavor album; 1990)
Discovered via EttelThun's early Chicago Rap mix, here's a nice slice of Lakim Shabazz-core. A notable entry in the canon of Chicago Rap songs with samples from James Brown & affiliated artists. Also historically notable since it might be the first 3rd Bass dis song. Word to the motherland, I wonder what O.Z. woulda thought about Chazmaniia?
Related golden-era white boi rapper thoughts: I heard David Bowie & Queen's Under Pressure in full for the first time ever the other day and was flabbergasted at how unlistenable it is other than the intro break. In hindsight, I shouldn't have been so surprised because Bowie and Queen are two of the worst offenders for middle-class British stageschool music. Hearing that bag of shite song in full only makes me appreciate Ice Ice Baby even more than I already do.

Pissed me off hugely when I copped the CB4 OST cassette and I'm Black Y'all wasn't on there.
Also, could not agree more on Under Pressure - You made it a hot bass line, I made it a hot song. Give me Ice Ice Baby over that dreck every day.
Oddly, I have the inverse opinion on Regulators - I can go the rest of my life without ever hearing that again, but I Keep Forgettin' is an anthem all on its own.
It's time to retire Regulate and give more love to Do You See.
Classics no one ever needs to hear again
Any of the doggy style or chronic 2001 singles
Where the hood at
Troy
Ti what you know
Run DMC it's tricky
Ms jackson
93 til infinity
Any Eminem song
I refuse to put regulate in there yet tho - that, return of the mack n I got 5 on it are some golden summer shit for me as a toddler
93 Til Infinity is eternal for me. But I wish Never No More would get some love IRL too.
Don't forget Nas Is Like and expand Where The Hood At to every DMX single post It's Dark & Hell Is Hot.
Yohan, especially X Gon' Give It To Ya.
I do like Who We Be tho.
The Jamming Mix of Regulate was kind of a best of both worlds, imo.
I'd never heard that before 😮
Amazing find
Launch Party Up into the sun
