Unpopular opinion, but don't really fw the remix like that. It's cool, but I don't bump it that often.

The original is grittier, and that horn sample is so superb that no one else ever even sampled it, beatminerz were deep in their crates...one of my favorite songs off the album.

The remix, w/ the Barry white sample had already been done numerous times prior to Black Moon (Big Daddy Kane and Comptons Most Wanted off top).

ya I get the need to appeal to a wider audience with a “softer” sample but just pressing play on the original version already put me into a certain mind-state :wow:

then the way he kicks shyt off “when I get bent…I must represent no question”

shyt the remix is essentially a whole different song :ld:

:banderas:

“what the fukk—bring your bytch ass type brigade!”

song was meant to be 100% grimy…remix softened it up too much

“I resemble the man that’s wanted for murder…got your block locked down so don’t come any further”

buckshot for real underrated man smh

oh word, your favorite of all time? that's dope, when people mention their goats you rarely hear his name

people always talk about how das efx influenced rappers but nobody talks too much about buckshot's influence. he invented that whole pronouncing words like you got a cold style that alotta emcees started running with around that time. to explain, off of how many emcees when he said "i'm clever because i wear my leather in the winter" and when he says "you can get the fist... what-eva" or the last verse where he says "you just gettin me sick my dikk you ride on the regular"

when you listen to afro puffs, lady of rage starts doing a buckshot thing when she says "lyri-cal mur-de-rah" in the first verse. but especially in the second verse when she says "of the rhythm that i give 'em, let it hit 'em, split 'em, did it now i'm rid of 'em.." that style was ill

:yes:

That's actually a great catch by you because there are at least 2 interviews I've seen from Rage talking about the last times she interacted with Tupac, and she always brought up the "One Nation" album when Pac was trying to get her on it and she wasn't really down for it cuz she figured Pac would be on some bullsh*t beefin that she didn't want to get involved in. And she always said Pac responded, "I ain't beefin'!! I got some East Coast motherfukkers on it too!! I ain't beefin!!", lol.

Then she said in her own words, "The first name he called was Buckshot Shorty. And that's the only name I remember cuz he was always one of my favorites anyway."

I never picked up on the influence before, but the proof is in the pudding.

Buck doesn't get the props he deserves for being one of the East Coast torch bearers in the mid-90s. Even Nore said to Nas on that Drink Champs episode that when he was locked up, the jail scene in NY as far as hip-hop favorites to who got the most respect for being the the top dog in NY was basically between Buckshot and Nas.
