(From This Is My First Album LP; 1996)
Wait a motherf**kin' minute, true facts presented: Kwest Tha Madd Ladd's I Met My Baby At V.I.M. beat DOOM's Red & Gold to the Shoot 'Em Up Movies sample by a couple of years. The best Rap song about falling in love with a shop assistant at the mall? Possibly. The best Rap song to detail the embarrassment of having a fat hole in your sock when you're trying on kicks in a shop? Definitely. Shoulda been a single because they coulda brought the song's story to life with a lotta lotta laughs in the video.
That intro skit where Kwest and his m8 are arguing about the best song on Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde tho eh? C'mon now, lads - the #actual answer is Officer.

Rly fitting too cos kwest was rare comp w doom for funniest rapper ever, him ripping on Dan charnas bout making him work Christmas Eve hits v hard.
😄 Shout out Dan Charnas tho.
Sux that it looks like there's only a video for the rerecorded clean version of 101 Things To Do While I'm With Your Girl. His delivery on that had a strong whiff of "if I must, Dan" about it.
Lol u know he got landed w that cos the album was delayed n the family friendly songs had played out samples. Could be a martorialist post in rly compromised clean versions of singles that were far too hard for the radio n Dre in His various incarnations would comprise half it.
Everyone knows the "good" radio edits cos there's only like ten of em anyways
Clean rerecorded version of Steady Mobbin' is forever gonna be the most half-hearted "ffs let's just get this shit done asap" radio edit ever.
Actually Cube might take the crown, some of the new bars were gibberish n made him seem like the least intimidating rapper ever lol

Wouldnt mind hearing how Cave Witch or Soapman woulda sounded
We Had To Turn This Melonfarmer Up. Video featuring the Repo Man cast obvs.
For years I've apparently been mixing up Mad Lion and Kwest Tha Madd Lad. I'll have to give his album a fair shot now.
Kwest's album is well worth checking out.
101 Things To Do While I'm With Your Girl is peak "I'm Fucking Your GF" Rap.
Herman's Head is Kwest's other killer storytelling song.
Blase Blah (Off Tha Head) is one of my fave Lyrical Exercise tracks of the 90's.
He might have the best properly official offcuts compilation in rap too

Whoevers fault it was he got stalled/blackballed whatever its mental he didnt have more of a career. Def American has way more bad karma than Aftermath - How you gonna put out Lordz of Brooklyn n mc 900ft jesus n not Milk dee or PT Capone?
Kwest put out an album recently n he still has it in spades albeit over some v dead bork bap production
lol @ melonfarmer
Yeah I checked that recent EP of his. His delivery is pretty rusty too imho. Lost the spark in his voice.
Johnny Cash was pretty much the only artist to get lucky on Def American after 1991😠😂
I would root for "Pack The Pipe". Remember hearing it on infinite repeat on several occasions
