Late pass!

"A Lo-Life always plottin'
A Lo-Life always scheme
A Lo-Life after the American dream"


Rack-Lo - What's A Lo-Life To Me
(From Polo Classics mixtape; 2013)



I love a beatjack which puts a fresh twist on the song from whence it came. Peep Lo-Life O.G Rack-Lo having his wicked way with a Gang Starr classic and flipping & bouncing Code of The Streets into Code of A Thief. Fave Rack-Lo song I've heard since his 2000 single Spit In Ya Face.

PS: sincere R.I.P to Shifty Shellshock from the Butterfly band Crazy Town. I'm gonna hazard a guess that 80% of this blog's readership have dated at least 1 girl who was/is obsessed with that song. I hope Heaven got a hairdressers where he can keep his tips frosted.

Nu-Metal was pretty insufferable but I do have a soft spot for Butterfly & I just recently discovered Crazy Town did a remake of Only When I’m Drunk by Tha Alkaholiks. R.I.P. Shifty Shellshock.

Listening now. Very unexpected 😆

No one does remakes/beatjacks better than the polo Rican mafia

Thirstins Whoa/The Truth one is the creme de la creme. Thirstins actually become one of my fav rappers lately, always slept on him

One of the funniest ever at least

I should listen to more Thirstin. I only know the Skilligan's Island CD.

Hes kinda a genius but i suspect the epmd/rich homie quan style interchangeable album titles plus the recycling songs, beatjacks n bootleg vibe of everything he does held him back, cant prosper in the meat factory when youve the true heart of a thief

Like i thought max owned this beat but he just does the most lol:

Speaking of Thirstin, totally not very familiar with him too but I checked out his Skillitary album (2004) and found a few songs I liked:
