Worst Song on a Classic: Midnight Marauders

[ShaDynasty]

Award Tour, which if I hear it is a dope song, but its the last song I go to on the album.

im not crazy about 'oh my god' - i think the sample in the hook is annoying. oh my god yes oh mah gawd yes oh my god yes oh my god YES ohmygodYESohmygodYES like come on lol

i absolutely love the electric relaxation sample. it sounds like they used the sample in 3/4 time so that the sample resolves on the 12th measure. its cool because the timing makes the beat sound slightly "off" - i love polyrhythms

The sample and beat are 4/4 time, but its a 3 bar loop.

One of my favorite albums of all time but I always said Oh my God felt like it was a vibe build on the beat but they didn't know where to take it so they just rhymed on it for shyts and giggles,it is my least favorite song on the album.

that makes sense

It's a perfect album. Nothing even close to skippable. But if I had to answer the question, I'll say "The Chase."

Tell that to Tip and Phife (R.I.P.)

When they were in The Source promoting BR&L, they both said "8 Million Stories" was one of the songs they wish they could redo because it didn't come out the way they thought it would. They tried to do another "Butter" and nobody liked it, they said, lol.

I don’t know anybody that likes it either. It's the only one on there I don’t listen to.

Went to Carvel to get a milkshake
This honey ripped me off for my loot cakes
The car, oh yeah, there's money in my jacket
Somebody broke into my ride and cold macked it

Iconic.

By the way, you have that Source article? I want to read it.

Yeah you don't hear many of them, and they definitely sound different. I think Alchemist has a few, OutKast - Mainstream is one.

 

[NormanConnors]

If I had to choose one, 8 Million Stories.

Yea I won't stand for 8 Million Stories slander.

I'm watching the playoff games and I just started running through the album start to finish, literally on 8 Million as I type and it's one of my favorites off the album.

Same with Clap Your Hands...legit might be my favorite beat on the album

That's my choice for "least favorite" song on this masterpiece
