(From O.S.T. album; 2002)
As far as I'm concerned, Hang Loose is the best song People Under The Stairs ever recorded. The lads indulged in some "What would the Cold Crush Brothers say?" versification like it ain't nothin', and that's word to birds like Thanksgiving stuffing. Boring bloggers would call Hang Loose "a genre exercise in O.G old skoolisms"; me, I say "Hang Loose is two fellas having hella fun while paying homage to Rap's pioneers innit." Where similar songs by Jurassic 5 fell flat, Hang Loose comes correct by having a touch of I Got It Made absurdism. Thes One had a gold-plated pitbull made outta ice, yo his bark ain't loud, but he sure ain't nice!

Best pun since your Wave In Fright or wot?
Was not expecting to see PUTS on here lol
I like a few PUTS songs 🧐
PUTS got better/less serious as they went on imo.
old skool homage rankings:
The Devin the dude one
Pharcyde
Husalah + jacka (this one's almost more of a direct cover/flip of a song but it counts imo)
Will smiths one W biz
I like the other PUTS one Drumbox too.
Spice 1 - Sucka Ass N*ggas
Edan & Skillz Ferguson - Clinical Rhymes
I'm sure there's a Mac Dre one but I'm drawing a blank. Retro Dance Record is close, but I'm certain there's one where he's gone pure pre-83 flow?
idk Spice is just a beatjack/cover, that list is a lot longer. Ill check out the edan though for sure.
Were you thinking of Leave Me Alone? He does the me myself and I flow on it which isnt exactly the vibe we mean but its sick.
This feels like something nas would have shit the bed attempting.
Actually, at the risk of being banned from here for life i will say Mos Defs Jam On It cover has rly grown on me
Blocked and reported for a hate crime.
Spice does the Run-D.M.C flow on there tho so it counts.
It's not Leave Me Alone. Gah, I'm sure there's one.
Nominate Tha Alkaholiks' Flashback for a great old school tribute.
Great choice.
Def Squad Delite would not make this list
😄 harsh but fair at the SAME DAMN TIME!
