Always felt like the intro to the remix beat was :whew::whew::whew: The way Just set it up and brought it in was legendary. :wow:

"I don't claim to be.....noooooooooooo philosopher....:lawd:
But I sho know....this ain't life.....baby, BABY!:damn: AHhhhhhhhhhhhHHHhhhhhhhAHHHHhhhhHAHHHhhh"

:banderas:


















I remember hearing this, Addicted to the Game & Show U How back to back on Hot 97, and taping the shyt soon as they said new Jay was coming up...Like I remember the EXACT moment they played these joints on the radio, what I was doing, etc...shyt was like a 9/11 moment where you'll never forget where you were when you heard it. At that point, diss tracks aside, I was like mannnn......I think Jay got this shyt, just off heaters alone :wow:


Of course this was before I heard Ether :mjlol:


God damn this was such a dope Summer/Fall, brehs. Top 5 in my lifetime. fukk. Lowkey, 2001-2003 was like some new age golden age shyt. The amount of material D-Block, G-Unit, Dipset, Roc, and others was putting out, plus all the beef was :banderas: fukk. I was a freshman in HS too, rushing home every day to hop on Napster and Limewire and shyt, burning the fukk outta stolen blank CDs and fukkin up the phone lines :ohlawd:

Those songs came out after Ether. Show You How To Do This, Early This Morning, Addicted To The Game, Murda Marcyville all dropped Spring/Summer 2002

yeah, the blueprint dropped on 9/11/01. then those 4 tracks dropped later on. I think early 2002. it was definitely before BP2 dropped.

I have that song, but I always thought it was kinda moist. it sounded just like like the jr mafia song "realms of junior mafia" which hit harder IMO.

People aren't fukkin with MOP?

That's surprising. I'll go ahead and say they're the most underrated rap duo of all time, not only in terms of overall quality of music, but lyricism as well. If the delivery is harsh and you can get past it, they're some talented dudes. I'm a huge M.O.P. fan and I even slept on Fame for a long time.

I thought they sounded perfect on that remix.

When are we ever gonna get a non-dj version of "ignorant shyt". the original version where he talks about beyonce in the 3rd verse??? :feedme:

The one without Sigel on the end? Yeah that last verse was fire too. TBA Jay had the best flow.

Mami, cry me a river. Blacken my heart by puttin light liquor in the liver. I know the difference between a bytch and a B...
