Pimpin’ ain’t easy but I highly doubt MJ has any issues. That man has dipped his stick into more non-black poon than Tiger “I’m Bone Thugs in Harmon” Woods. If I could die and come back as his penis, I would (yes homo). So with all that said, here is a track to splat the cat to. Or if you’re like Kels maybe you’ll piss on a bitch, whichever you prefer. –Philaflava
Snoop Dogg – Pimpin’ Aint EZ feat. R. Kelly
Back at it like a crack addict, Day Two.
Nas – The World Is Yours (Q-Tip)
Dirty basement jazz courtesy of Kamaal. Some Nas fans will tell you his 2nd verse on here might just be one of his best. “Switch the flow speed, I’m gettin’ vexed/ Guiliani is 6-6-6.” Can’t hate on that.
Nas – Street Dreams (R Kelly)
Released a month or so after the original, this mix featured completely different lyrics and production. Armed with a superb mini-story in the third verse, the lyricism is much more introspective with its cautionary tales for wannabe ballers. The R Kelly hook melds perfectly with the new beat making it one of the more memorable Nas joints to run some R&B.
Nas – Family (Cloudkickers)
Cloudkickers are DJ Eli and Shan Boogs, perhaps best known for their self titled Fondle ‘Em EP that dropped back in ’99. An assortment of strings and keys lace this one up nicely.
Nas – Made You Look (Single Remix)
Luda and Jadakiss join Nas to remix the song of the year. I need it from the top, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Kiss steals the show as usual. File Nas’s verse alongside his rhyme on “We Major” under ‘really? That’s the best you could fucking come up with?’
Nas – Life’s a Bitch (Buckwild)
The DITC crate-master gives Q-Tip a run for his money with this jazzed out piece of wonderful. Some nice cuts at the end too.
