Boom, there you go, that is my all time favorite Hip Hop Song because it spoke to the hood all real, one of the very few hip hop songs where the lyrics were 100% real. I always said now thats real talk right there. Biggie just spoke on what people in the hood was thinking.
+1 I had to sit back and think about it for a while which song is my all-time favorite. I picked it because it embodies hip-hop in all forms. The lyrics, the story, the feelings in the song and the way the beat was sampled and mixed. Classic. Its a shame someone of such great talent is no longer with us.
Too bad Jeru The Damaja(at the end) isnt around much anymore. He had a ton of talent. Then again, talent isnt always the measure of success these days.
Well I say with shame that my fav song issssss The Thong Song, and yes I'm serious, i think i had this song on repeat for the duration of 2001 -2002 edging a little into 2003 I get it out on the odd occasion now and think of my youth. [YOUTUBE]UAqqYNN2rtQ[/YOUTUBE]
Haha, I've been listening to some old Garage from that era... good stuff! So Solid and all that, brilliant.
Good stuff, it's good to hear the old tunes are still making the rounds, anything Garage that went past 2003 was shot to shit, there really was a golden era around b4 that. Lol @ era though, soon i will be sounding like my Nan talking about doing the Jitterbug to So Solid crew.
Hip hop isn't dead! I love Nas but he's wrongggg. :smt099 But yeah, garage really is dead. Ah well, the memories and all that.
