hip hop cadillasick #4081

i'ma be highlighting some hip hop classicks ery now and again ... because. i want to.

first and last time: a classic sticks with you through time. classics are timeless even if they capture a specific moment of time and truth.

A) this first one is a joint i'd love to hear at a party ... but no one ever plays it.

B) this song captures the spirit of hip hop in the mid to late nineties --- q-tip and mobb deep on the same song rapping bout materialism and alchohol ... and by materialism i mean that gear we used to rock ... what was i doing in size 38 guess? jeans???!

C) the track is dope - i don't think you can hear the fly horns so good or the bassline on computer speakers but we gon do our best ...

D) favorite line: "and guess? was hot/so guess what"

E) bonus* question: on what song does q-tip reference #4080?

(to listen you will have to turn off the page music -- to your right and scroll down to turn off the music player ...)

drink away the pain - mobb deep
