I first heard this joint on a sick Primecuts mix on the short-lived independents slot on Westwood's show in the late 90s/ early 2000s - I would stay in first Friday of every month to tape it. I wish BBC would unearth their masters of those sessions and put them online b/c they were dope and everyone - myself included - seems to have lost their tapes.
does anyone know who says that vocal? (And uploader before you go schizo on my ass and delete my comment, Primo never had a problem with people discussing the source of his scratches. The Chuck D drama was entirely different.)
As a 20 year Premier fan from the first day I heard his style I have to say this sick track is top 5 for me. It's so perfect and unique, everything you expect from a juicy primo track. I never get tired of it. Love the intro. Amazing (sad) that so few people know about it.
@evisukid22 i agree the track is nasty but the comparing to lil wayne is just natural, cause he is the perfect example of how fucked up rap has become. I'm so sick of not being able to find a good record you can play from begining to end anymore. True rappers give you more then a single, they give you art. Anymore it's all about the money, not the music. J-Live is nasty, much respect, and premo, well what can you say that hasn't been said, he's legendary.
"you aint shit if you got a good show...y'know i dont care how good you are on tape, if i come to the show and i see you wack you sound even wack on tape man! "
Its truly sad that i can find and early Lil Wayne or a 1993 Master P album at the local record store but i gotta call the fuckin search and rescue squad to get this shit. Can you believe Lil Wayne got his very OWN VH1 BEHIND THE MUSIC!??!?!??!! Damn shame!! Give to guys who deserve it like Kool G Rap, Dilated Peeps, or even DJ Evil Dee or Primo.....i dunno, just somebody besides a dude with "Crack-Addict" tattoos all over his face and lyrics that could be challenged by a Linda Ronstadt freestyle
@stevesk8r yea, i hear you. Its a good feeling when you forget about a certain album or song and you throw that shit back in to the rotation and the memories flash rite back. I just heard "Super Soul Sis" by Warren G last nite and that shit brought sum good times back. Be EZ bro.....peace
@mcsuchnsuch don't worry, nothin we can do about it, the mainstream media loves sellouts...(that's the only type of "rapper" they will recognize)...real hip hop will continue to be real
@royaleee hard for the fans who don't live in america (uk) to find new material worth listening to if it stays that way, and the hip hop here imo sucks so its tough. get it into the mainstream is the best way, wont happen though :/
@royaleee I am really into hip hop and I do find a lot. Even so I find it frustrating having to search hard just to find a few new songs/artists when it would be easier if they were in the charts already.
@mcsuchnsuch though i get what ur saying ya gotta chill wit all the hate on wayne, he has talent, its not all bullshit, its jus all the bullshit that the mainstream listeners wanna hear so thats what gets sold the most, we all know its fucked
@ganjainmygravy alright, i respect what your saying about get'n hyped up on Wayne but its my opinion. I listened to some of Waynes stuff but i stopped. You might call it hate but i call fact, you say hes has talent i say he has none...its all good, the world still spins no matter whos wrong or right.
