OC has become one of my favorite artist over the past year or so. I got into him after listening to Jeru heavy for a minute. His rhyme style is confident and mature vs young, ruthless and careless like many from his era. This is my favorite OC track to play in the morning to trigger thoughts. The calming jazz sample is perfect as a backdrop for the excellent verses.

For we all must meet our moment of truth…
A perfect early Sunday morning to be vibing to DJ Premier’s airy production and soaking up some wisdom from Guru. I love this joint and album. Everyone have a great day.
Actions have reactions, don’t be quick to judge
You may not know the hardships people don’t speak of
It’s best to step back, and observe with couth

Game – The R.E.D. Album Review
Dr. Dre Intro
I’m guessing that Game got Dr Dre to narrate his life using these skits. It resembles how Menace To Society was narrated.
The City feat. Kendrick Lamar
This sounds like a 40 Shebib production due to the usage of the sample. I like how the Game comes in and spits about his experiences and he doesn’t name drop straight out of the gate. Kendrick Lamar’s energy is nice on this track. The way he comes in gets you prepared for something that will take your breath away. Game rhymes with so much animosity in his voice, he sounds bitter about his perception in the rap industry. I’m glad The Game has confidence that he thinks he’s the best from the West, then you hear Kendrick rap his ass off even when the beat has gone off. Damn KDot! Continue reading

Is No I.D. the greatest hip hop producer of all time?
Well while sitting around and listening to jams from back in the day I decided to throw on that Com Sense “Resurrection”. One thang lead to another and I was looking for No I.D. productions. I found his discography and I noticed that he produced almost all of Com’s “Resurrection”. As expected “Resurrection” dropped in 94, as a lot of classics did (cough cough Illmatic). Well the reason that I raised this question, is No I.D. the greatest hip hop producer of all time, is because Continue reading

First time I heard Black Milk
The first time I heard Black Milk was when I had peeped his song called “The Matrix” of his album Tronic. In all honesty I saw the song online somewhere and I clicked to listen to it because I seen the legendary DJ Premier was on it so I had to take a listen(1st rule of being a hip hop head, you never pass over the chance to listen to a Premo track).
