M8, this song has grown on me like toe hair. I went from thinking 'this shit is cool' to thinking 'this shit is as good as FNF (Let's Go).' Most importantly it conclusively proves that GloRilla has broken Rap's cosmetic dentistry curse wherein a rapper gets their teeth fixed and their music forever takes a dramatic dip in quality thereafter (see: Nas, Gucci Mane, King Louie, Young Thug etc.) Knuck if you buck the Curse! Ain't gonna lie, I was completely oblivious to the Run Up Get Dun Up song it interpolates until now. Some of you muhf*ckers will probably front that you had it in your 2009 year end list which has now conveniently vanished from the internet, but I can smell a lie like a fart in a phone booth. This is the best Crime Mob song Crime Mob never recorded.

Bonus beats: the only rapper whose music #actually improved when they got their teeth fixed was Consequence. Rock N Roll is a personal indie-era classic/ya host's favourite random Dilla production, but there's no doubt Con's music got better after his oversized dentures transformed him into Terry Turkey Teeth in the mid 2000s.

Bit surprised you like a Dilla beat always thought you didn’t like him for what he did to Tribe & Pharcyde.
He has some joints.
Keep it on the dl, but some of his beats for Pharcyde's 2nd album have grown on me in recent years.
Man too short really is the exception to every rule - dentures, ageing in rap, recycling rhymes, getting fat n moving to Atlanta. Unstoppable
What is the consensus on the Pharcyde’s second album? Obviously it’s a step down production wise (“Runnin’ excluded) but they were still rapping their ass off imo
Donal, good point. Truly an anomaly.
Anonymous, the production was always my bugbear with the album, but I've warmed to it in recent years.
Not only did I know this song, I was put onto it by Serg Dun, who played Da Bangaz on his podcast. It’s a St. Louis classic
I can definitely believe Serg was up on it back then.
Never ever seen anyone mention that shit in my life before tho 🧐
Have you heard the new Beabadoobee song yet?
Just checked it. I fuxwit it.
Which hurt Raekwon more, fixing his teeth or not paying Cappadonna to keep writing his shit for him?
😄
Did he get his done before Immobilarity? 🤔
