Slangin' humble pie and St. Ides in the same sentence # 2

Ahem, I'd like to sheepishly apologise to Jackie Chain for that time I said his Bruce Lean Chronicles 2 mixtape was lacking in the jam factor. It's still his worst 'tape to date but I've come to the conclusion that Trippin' with Rittz is a CHOON. Ain't gon' lie that doesn't feel more like the property of Rittz than a Jackie Chain song (bump it as a primer to Rittz's Like I Am for best results) and I can't front that it doesn't sound like it was recorded by Madame Fanny from 'Allo 'Allo, but it's still 2013's 2nd best example of Country-Rap gone Wavy after Bye Bitch by Mouse On Tha Track:

I love when Huntsville guys rhyme over samples first used on early noughties N.Y underground cuts and Trippin' is perhaps the most notable case of that yet since it uses the same Dexter Wansel loop famously used on Agallah & Sean P's Rising To The Top and not so famously used on that song from MF Grimm's first album where he tried to sing.

Slangin' humble pie and St Ides in the same sentence

Back when Chinx Drugz's Cocaine Riot 3 dropped in april, I damned How Can I Lose? with faint praise by insisting it was the 'tape's highlight but still little more than "a Superlight-lite retread for Chinx & Harry Fraud". In hindsight, I'm appalled that my dumb ass didn't appreciate such higher-echelon waviness at the time so I'd like to apologise : what How Can I Lose? actually sounds like is a Dame Grease-orchestrated Medieval hair-metal ballad epilogue to Superlight, which is what the French Montana album should've sounded like, innit?

Really hate that POP noise Chinx makes at 00:19, though, because it sounds identical to a Facebook notification. What, you mean somebody hasn't replied to that status update I made about Sallie Axl from Big Brother being deeply misunderstood???
