Yo Que, I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Young Giftz already had the best Money Makin' Mitch joint of the year....of the year! ¯\(°_o)/¯
Good thing you accompanied it with my favourite sad-sack saxophone jam since Cormega's The Other Side and your ode to everybody's favourite Egyptian pharoah sounds like some exotic incidental music from a sci-fi movie set in Buck Roger' years-era Egypt where evil descendants of the Ptolemaic dynasty get their jollies by sacrificing peasant slaves who've been caught pissing in the river Nile to the serpent God Apep before The Rock and Tom Baker turn up to save the day then, huh?
"I'm designer head-to-toe, boy
Pockets full of dough, boy
Teacher asked me who I was and I replied a dope-boy
Fresh as fuck for Fed cameras, life inside the sto', boy
A-T-and-T : I'm gettin' Ass, Twot and Throat, boy!"
Similarly, I also refuse to credit Mista Cain's Mind Right to Young Ready now he's claiming it as his own since Cain is gonna be locked up for the foreseeable future. Ready has Cain's blessing to run with the song and I've been waiting for Ready to make a jam as good as this ever since I first heard his Baton Rogue anthem 1 Rubber on C-Loc's fifth Concentration Camp album 4 or 5 years ago, but I just can't accept Mind Right as part of the Young Ready catalogue. And why won't I be swayed on this matter of song ownership? Because Mista Cain's verse includes a landmark moment in Rapper parenting practices that ensures Mind Right should always belong to him, that's why :
"Catch me in a Beamer, the next top model My son at home, bitch, that's lean in his baby bottle!"
Until Rap's most noted smackhead B.G comes home from prison and records a song about mixing heroin in with his daughter's Farleys Rusks to send her to sleep, the bar has been well and truly raised.
Oh ok, NOW I get what Texas dudes & Houston Rap-philes mean when they say that Yungstar is the rapper who RiFF RaFF Dana Daned his whole rhyme style from.
As someone only familiar with Yungstar from Wanna Be A Baller and June 27, ya boy Michaelangelo Migos right chea wasn't initially sold on this particular claim of plagiarism, and delving into Yungstar's catalogue earlier this year only muddled matters further for me since his 2 Throwed Yung Playa albums are both glorified label samplers for the Straight Profit Records roster where he's near enough indistinguishable from his label mates Lil' James and Lil' Flex.
But then I came across this Mista Madd track where Yungstar drops by halfway through with 2 freestyled verses of outre non-sequitur boasts about being the mayor of the Himalayas and riding candy jet-skis and it was a Rap Game Flashback To That Time I Saw The Killing After Growing Up On Reservoir Dogs moment. Yungstar appears on the song at precisely 2:39 but plz don't just skip to those because the rest of the song is equally great, especially the hook and that bit where where the young Slim Thug says he "went from a BMX to a G.S Lex'" :
Three questions : what are some other songs where Yungstar let his nuts hang like this? Was Down South Slim Thug's first ever appearance on record? And did anybody else used to think that Yungstar was Lil' Troy and Lil' Troy was Yungstar on Wanna Be A Baller?
Because somebody has uploaded the official 'hood DVD video for Rockness Monstah & Sean Price's lost mixtape banger Fuck Dat Rapper. Despite the fact there are at least 4 of the prossies Rock was arrested for pimping in the clip, it's still reading a strong 8.5 on the Struggle-Rap-O-Meter due to his oversized New Era radiating that plutonium strength Papoose swag :

As far as Baton Rogue Rap goes in 2013, this is my jam at the moment :
"I'm runnin' outta options, can't get no job
Fresh outta jail, came right back to them raws
A 'script of 90 bars and 120 r's
I'ma sell the racecars but I'ma eat with xanax bars
I ain't learned my lesson yet, my head extra hard
I'm runnin' if they stop this car 'cause I can't take no charge
Dropped my iPhone and my lean cup, now it won't take no charge
I fuck with Kev' and 'Vel, my n*gga gonna take this charge
So many hot boys I can fill up a garage
Spitta's in that water like the bottom of a barge
Look up in my rear view - I see you sarge
I'm jumpin' fences - I see you sarge!"
Please believe this is the post where I conclusively prove that Happy Perez is one of the ten greatest Southern producers of all time and a far more important figure in the history of teh Rap music than that dead fella from Detroit who ruined The Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest with his boring clippity cloppity neo-soul beats.
In a perfect world, I would've pitched this as a listicle to Complex on the strength of Happy Perez being the brains behind the boards for How Ya Do Datand Miguel's Sure Thing. Alas, in reality there's no way any website would ever pay me to write a list comprising of 95% Concentration Camp deep cuts and I doubt my arsenal of crap jokes about C-Loc gettin' bummed in Angola and how Boo Da Boss Playa/Rossini looks the dead spit of either Jim Jones or A-Wax depending on which way you squint your eyes would've been able to stretch out for 30 blurbs, tbh.
So here's a generic hyperlinked list of my 30 favourite songs that Happy Perez produced in its place. It's probably best to forget that he also did a bunch of beats for South Park Mexican and even recorded 2 albums with him as the Lone Star Ridaz since it's morally unethical to listen to Rap songs by dudes who diddled kids, especially when said dudes who diddled kids were committing similarly abhorrent crimes like ganking the Happy Perez beats which could've been used for some J-Von and Lee Tyme solo cuts on the 4 Concentration Camp compilations.
Related Baton Rogue Rap news : Mouse On Tha Track has just dropped a video for Bye Bitch. If you missed the song previously, you can find an MP3 of it on my Mouse On Tha Track compilation as well as that recent DJ Dow Jones What Da Streetz Need 7 mixtape which got slept on like a motherfucker despite the fact it featured no less than 5 new Mouse songs.

The fact this this clip only has 125,986 views while Kitty Pryde's 2 singles both have over a million views each is all the proof we need that everybody ever associated with The Wavery's viral experiment is a racist, IMHO.
Props to Serg Dunn for finding the 2013 Body In The Trunk where the corpse of a headless police deputy replaces the neighbourhood hater who got his wig twisted in Nore & Nas' original guide to dead body disposal (no Necwo). What really seals the deal on this song is that its grisly tale takes place over the sort of neo-mobb music bassline which sounds like it was tailor made for E-40's Revenue Retrievin' : Graveyard Shift album and it features 2 drum-solo breakdowns!
Am I correct in thinking King Chip's music didn't used to be this gully when he went by his previous moniker of Chip Tha Ripper or did I just never give his shit a fair shake because his stupid name made him sound like an AZN Bay Area turntablist dude or Chip-Fu auditioning to join the Gravediggaz?
