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

[OC's finest]

always felt like this was one of his hardest songs

this shyt was so raw, song never blew up like i thought it would

too street for these cats

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

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.

Well broken language evolved the technical revolution but scapegoat dmx just clearly bit.
Just like jays bit god's bathroom floor and girl with the tattooed hands on his releases in this era as well.
Major label artists were good at taking from the underground and acting like we don't exist.
Then be trying to call ya phone and I ain't even give them my number.

Man we got a lot of talent, esp bitd. to produce something that powwerful and forward...wow

 

[AkaDemiK]

X at some of his creative best. Song just gets you into that zone....

 

[RichieRich]

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.

You hear it?

 

[Animal House]
