Sick Sample: Stillmatic – Let me be your Angel

Great track from DC’s own Angel Stacy Lattisaw

Stacy Lattisaw – Let Me Be Your Angel

Sampled on Stillmatic (Intro) Nas

Nas – Stillmatic

“Aiyyo, the brother’s “Stillmatic”
I crawled up out of that grave, wipin the dirt, cleanin my shirt
They thought I’d make another “Illmatic”
But it’s always forward I’m movin
Never backwards stupid here’s another classic”

“I seen it all, did it all, most of y’all will pop for a minute
Spit a sentence then the game’ll get rid of y’all
Y’all got there but y’all didn’t get it all, I want my style back
Hate to cease y’all plan it’s the rap repo man”

Blood of a slave, heart of a King

Dope

Jay-Z Freestyle Hot 97 Funkmaster Flex

Of course you remember this Jay-Z freestyle from 10/30/06. For the longest time no one had it up on Youtube. Sicker than the bird flu.

“Hov got flow, though he’s no Big and Pac, but he’s close,
How I’m supposed to win, they got me fighting ghosts…..”

“You See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas, see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide is a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified”

“The more successful, the more stressful
The more and more I transform to Gordan Gekko”

Wow.

Ice-T, West Coast Legend, Dopest Track

» 13 March 2008 » In Guide, hip hop » No Comments


Ice-T, West Coast Legend, Dopest Track

Truth be told, when I was a prototype G, making small deals, playing in the killing fields, I didn’t always feel Ice-T.

And I have plenty of people emailing me things like “Yo, Mike Mason, you always give props to Go-Go music, the Bridge and the Five Boroughs, but where is the love for the West Coast?” and crap like that. Take notes, get blinded by the spokes, skippy; I give mad props to the West. (If I am in The States, where else is better to lamp come summertime?)

In retrospect, T was a true pioneer, Soul on Ice, who could flow slow and still twist your tounge up, and rock the party from night till the sun’s up.

Sure he got served by LL Cool J, but then again, who didn’t?

Either way, “Mind over Matter” always got me on some innovative stilo.

I remember the first time I met T: he laughed at some corny joke I made about Swooping Fly Girls. Brief meeting of the minds. Game recognition. Cool Cat on the real.

The first Heistman/Rapper.

“Syndicate’s making the move
With the ski masks…
And Now I’m housing the long CASH”

“A lot of doubters
Said it couldn’t be done by me
them same suckers
Are now looking from under me”

True inspiration for a young impressionable prototype G.
