DMX "WHO WE BE"...the concept and writing on this song always blows my mind

[BK The Great]

song is classic, i got introduced to it from that Street Hoops game on XBox

 

[SemiEnlightenedBum]

It cut the grass that exposed the snakes.

no.i mean where is it now..

does X still possess it or twas it pawned for them cridddilllz..

one can only wonder..

and/or if said lawnmower twas metaphorical in nature then did it break down since seemingly one can say the snakes did get him..

it wasn't a checkers proposition..

I hope that album with Swizz come out this year and it's back to old times.

 

[KravenMorehead™]

The snakes, the grass, too long, to see (uhh, uhh!)
The lawnmower, sittin, right next, to the tree (c'mon!)

still my line

[mr.africa]

incredible

 

[head shots101]

I read them lyrics striaght through to the beat playing in my mind. Thats one of the dopest uses of that sample of the Pink Panther.

This sampled big panther

 

[Milk N Cookies]

This sampled big panther

Giving it another listen maybe not... But then again maybe so. It's just that little bit... Imma need someone to confrim it tho.

Edit: I think it is. If you listen to Beyonce's Check on it for the first few seconds you hear the Pink Panther theme.

Listen to that then Who we be then the og song (it's a bit much) but I think it is a pink panther sample.

Edit2: it's not fukking there!!!

Edit3: I fixed it & put the video up with the panther tidbit.

 

[Charlie]

That lawnmower line

 

[Igloo Stix]

Good god, what a masterpiece. Still listen to it regularly

 

[REdefinition]

Loved this when it came out. You gotta remember this is the same guy who made a whole verse just saying women's name and made it tight as hell X is super talented yo.

I love the adlibs in the end too. "These motherfukkers don't know!.......WHO WE ARE!! They couldn't POSSIBLY fukkin know dog!!" You know X really meant this sh*t.

 

[Carlito Brigante]

I remember on SOHH they said he stole it from one of "Tha Outlawz".

 

[North]

The Goat

 

[Art Barr]

First song to bite slug's scapegoat and pay attention to the bubbling draw of hiphopinfinity.com and emo.
that eventually would take over the rap game after ye vs fiddy.
