Das EFX's style got bitten so hard that they could barely get a second album out.... They had skills and the Hit Squad providing beats, although repetitive on that first album, but that's another story.
The Das EFX story between their 1st and 2nd albums might have been one of the first times in hip hop that such blatant biting was allowed to flourish, to that point in time. They weren't the first to do the speed rapping style, but theirs wasn't exactly speed rapping, just kind of pig latin-y....and everyone ran with that version of it.
This song is just an example of early 90s East Coast storytelling....and no one even got a chance to hear it. This is a Brooklyn-centric tale that probably is universal now, but bodies got dropped for silly stuff like this back then. They told the story vividly.
Yeah I was born the year that style became a thing it seems. I definitely don’t mind it too much whenever I listen to it. I think my most fav iggity rap track is Chief Rocka as a matter of fact.
