The Dust King
A Childrens Story
lol nah breh they were references to the show
ßhow was great
scram jones is an excellent dj, his crowd work is impeccable
they performed some songs off the lyricist lounge vol 1 album, A.L., problemz, punch, natural elements shotout @Awesome Wells
then girl code came out and were entertaing af threatening the crowd (in jest) and doing ther rap antics which included the kid and play dance
then cella dwellas came out
then rae came out and did a cuban linx medley
then busta came out and showed rae love
it was fire
North star was a bonus song only released on the cd version when it came out. Theyre keeping up with tradition. I think some of the purple tape re-releases have north star on it but originally, the final song on the tape version is heaven and hell. I know this for a fact because I own both.
'I Sing For Him and He Isn't Here'Rainy Dayz
...Pay attention to 1010 Wins
Then Shallah
drops the Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes sample remix with new verses
Whips-n-Chains

I might be tweaking but I always remembered my OG CD ending with Heaven & Hell
u mad son?
All Star
Rainy dayz is one of my favourite songs of all time
The feelings that song evokes is unreal. It's gangster, tragic, emotional and super creative.
It's small shyt like the way the snare changes throughout the track, there's 2 snares that rza switches between through the track.
The strings, the weather samples... The hook from the chick that did a one off madness.

RZA even sampled The Exorcist for that jarring "screeching sound" that's throughout
tweaking...all CDs from first printing had North Star as a CD only bonus track (at least US versions)
The Greatest Rap Album Of All Time..
