What We Do vs Dreams and Nightmares Intro

[Drew Wonder]

Two anthems, two Philly emcees, two different eras. Which one y’all got?

 

[Dad]

Beans

 

[OfTheCross]

The rappin on What We Do is too much for Dreams...that shyt is crack lyrically

 

[Kinguno]

What we do is the story of America

 

[OfTheCross]

This is a good thread, though. Both great/classic songs

 

[OfTheCross]

Thinking more about it man...both intro beats off these songs get me hype for what's to come. These are super duper classics, to me

 

[Towlie]

I shoot weddings and meek is a staple at most of them

Beyonce before I let go, wobble, swag surfing, juvenile , knuck if you buck, and dreams and nightmares

Almost guaranteed to be played

This is a good thread. You're right, 2 different eras. Maybe if you're 30 and up, Dreams & Nightmares can hype you up but you feel What We Do more, and 30 and under probably fukk with What We Do but relate to and feel Dreams & Nightmares more. Just a theory.

What We Do gets my vote. You can't beat 3 rappers that good on the same track over a legendary beat by Just Blaze.

What We Do is timeless. Jump forward 10 years and D&N might feel dated but WWD might still feel 'classic'. Again, just a theory I'm not saying that as fact

I love both songs, classics, but the answer is Meek, and tbh it might not even be close. Those verses gets repeated verbatim at every party ive ever been to where it came on, guaranteed to make the crowd turn up.

HOL UP WAIT A MINUTE!!!!

 

[NormanConnors]

What We Do easily/not even close.

 

[Food Mane]

The what we do video is classic. Wire season 1.5. And then when they blow the horns like coltrane

 

[WavyHair ChippedTeeth]

To this day, Hov saying “KEEP GOIN” and “KEEP FLOWIN” has me hype.

 

[Controversy]

Both are classic Philly records

What We Do is wayyyyyy better lyrically, but Dreams & Nightmares was a moment in hip hop

I prefer What We Do based on the bars, concept & beat...but I get why ppl would say Dreams & Nightmares
