Dropping this here too since y'all sleeping on my thread:


Cozy K was on Rap-a-Lot so he was in a couple of them posse cuts they had but he dropped at least 1 album on RAL. This song with Bun B was off his 2nd album (I think). He was pretty nice for the genre/time.

This one is hard tho and most of you haven't heard it.

Dice from Legion is my guy.

So we all went up for the video shoot. We were kids, but back then we all thought "Jingle Jangle" was a dope track! I still play it all the time. Dres had a dope verse on it, and I always liked the beat.


I copped jingle jangle on wax. It was fun but by the time their album was received.
Things had drastically changed for the better.

Album is a personal classic



It could garner the enfamous 3.5 mic rating. Which were typically revised to be classic.

the realness!!


The remix is still one of the craziest things ever recorded in rap history. Tame literally levels up and gives what could be deemed a verse of the year performance and a hof remix verse of all time. Then,.........

Then,....

Busta rhymes solidifies he is the illest guest posse cut emcee ever with the preacha flow.

shyt is one of rhe best performances in rap history ever captured on wax. Plus arguably the best remix verse ever. Only thing keeping it from toppling Redman on tonite's the night remix. Or common on breaker 1/9 remix. Is red's and com's Performance are both solo remixes woth multiple verses. Whereas bustas was a remix posse cut verse now titled a feature, moving forward.


Just an icredi le moment in time. We will never get in this level equal to the elevation in skill relative to the era. Meaning someone will have to bite to out do it. Plus know of its existence.
to try to outdo or achieve In skill.



Highly recommended.

Every version is spin worthy.
I recommend to Spin them in order of timeline release.

or the remix will ruin the experience though.

much better audio quality…


This guys life would be different if he was plugged into the new york scene. Everyone I knew from NYC liked this record but no one really knew who these guys were.

I KNOW YOU FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT....

This is the first Group Home song that dropped. I get the critique of Group Home's lyricism but Lil Dap is an authentic voice of 90's NYC. Everyone isn't winning, many are just surviving

Yeah that's a dope joint, it never crossed my mind that Boogie Monsters was a Christian Rap group.


I wanna say that became known after they were released.
Yet that direction killed them as time went by.
