If we sacrifice Oliver Stone to a volcano can we get Angie Stone back?

The Sequence - Simon Says
(From Sugar Hill Presents The Sequence album; 1981)


R.I.P to Rap's soul sista number one Angie Stone, the O.G Queen of Hip-Hop Soul before Mary J. Blige. Real headz know that Simon Says is as good as Funk You Up and one of the last great Disco-Rap era choonz full stop. That shit thumps so doggone hard they had to call the national guard. But it's important to remember that Angie kilt shit like kitty litter in multiple decades.

Vertical Hold - Seems You're Much Too Busy
(From A Matter Of Time album; 1993)


As for Wish I Didn't Miss You, it's one of the greatest late-career singles of all time in any genre innit. Me, I consider it an even better song than Back Stabbers and plz believe that is not a slight to Back Stabbers. I just hope Ezale cut Miss Stone a cheque for that shit when him & HawkBeatz flipped it on Ironic.

It's 2025 and I'm still here to rock you low and take you deeper than Jacques Cousteau. The music don't end if ya eyes don't close. So, here's a playlist so obvious I can't believe I haven't made it before: the Best of Ezale. You know the dilly: I call Ezale Jac Dre because he's the missing link between Jackie Chain and Mac Dre. He's the Pol Pot of the Pillionaire's Boys Club. He's what would happen if Drexl from True Romance took a holiday in Cambodia. He's #BringingThisTownShitBack by making new school shit for old school whips. He takes dummy long to drop music but it's always worth the wait. I'm postin', bloggin', don't plan on stoppin', tryna see if you patnas is down with Ezale's mobbin'.

Plz believe Teddy Jams woulda been included if Audiomack would let me upload it. That Guy sample ain't copyright friendly.

Revenge Of The Jerk

YG - Knocka
(From Knocka single; 2024)


First time I've checked a new YG single since Swag in 2020 and he's only gone and dropped some fresh extratellestrial il grande Jerk redux shit which is right up my Grove Street. Initially thought that synth stab thingy is the It's Like That synth stab thingy, but now I think it's Raised Like This synth stab thingy. Whether It's Like That or Raised Like This, this is still a new YG single I can jam alongside a classic Ezale single. Two thumbs up like Run & D.M.C's heads.

Ezale teasers got me feelin' like Captain Ahab in pursuit of his killa whale with a heavy tail. If the Pol Pot of Pill Popping-Rap™ isn't gonna drop that fun, fun, fun song yet then I'll gladly take this one instead. It's been a dry January for new Rap music which tickles ya boi's taste buds and Ezale snippets are the ultimate Martorialist thirst-trap. Let's get the Legit Slapz overflowing like a village pub's hanging baskets.

You were ALWAYS the bellhop, Mr. Ezale

Ezale - Hotel Motel
(From Hotel Motel single; 2022)


The Andrehick Hotel Motel has a new employee - heeeeeere's Ezay. I did say that Ezale songs tend to be different than the snippets suggest and that's certainly true with this one because the I Get Around beat-switcheroo from teaser number two is now entirely slo-mo Screwed. WTF - the Pol Pot of the Pillionaire's Boys Club keeps pretzelling my pomegranate, man. Regardless, Ezale singles are always mini-movies in musical form. Gonna tell my kid this is The Shining.

Ezale caught the Furley Ghost with that Stupid Doo Doo Dumb moment @ 1:34. Best sittin' on the bog reveal scene in a music video since Tom DeLonge in Blink-182's All The Small Things.

**EDIT** Good news, the I Get Around beat-switcheroo isn't Screwed on the MP3.

"If I take another hit I'll forget ya name, but we high so she can't complain
Now I'm finna run a train when I'm wit' Mary Jane and it's crazy she was thinkin' the same"

Ezale - Ironic
(From Ironic single; 2022)


Well, this is different than the snippet suggested innit? Then again, the same was true of Day Ones and We Want Some Pussy, so it's best to disregard yer prior assumptions with Ezale singles. The subject of Ironic is weed, but this shit sounds as jittery as a Messy Marv interview. Thus, Ironic is a sniffer's song in smoker's song clothing.

Ezale videos always go XXXtra in the best way. That's the paradox of Ezale - he's the legit dirtbag rapper who makes his NorCal peers look like lazy bums with their presentation. Remember when he used the All It Take video as an audition to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond? Potential titles for Ezale Bond movies: You Only Thizz Once and The Man With The Golden Blunt.

Sweet '16

Fall back, Cleanhobo - there's a new bellhop in (Funk)town. Feel like I'm back in 2016 again the way I'm rewindin' Ezale teaser videos. Maybe we'll finally get that Cold Game Chronicles song which was the one with the long-deleted video teaser of Ezale climbing up the abandoned apartment complex. He really thinks that he's Tom Cruise foreal foreal.
