I met Smoothe in South Beach on Memorial Day weekend, when it use to be call "How Can I be Down" he was promoting his music before this hit, and I did not really think he would have made it with his style of rapping, but when this shit came out, The beat, the words, this shit was perfect, theres nothing wrong with this song, period.
thiz shit iz still the best back 2 back flow consistent lyrical 90z flow eva i been screamin this shit since the old school dayz of 95, picture these niggaz wit the lox that shit would be a force, these niggaz had high lyrical skillz way back then, and u can put these niggaz in the same lane as nas, the old jay z, and biggie, as far as lrycal ability, and if u dont think so, i can swear u a LAME, they had the streetz on smash b4 ya favorite legendz and iconz, and thatz real shit im sayin
@051290ma I FEEL U ON THAT,BUT IM TALKIN THAT EAST COAST SHIT,,WHEN BIGGIE WAS GOIN HARD,AND NAS AT HIS BEST,,AND THE OLD JIGGA,,LYRICALLY I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT IN THAT CATERGORY WIT THEM,,THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PART OF THAT GLOW TO,WHERE TODAY THEY COULD BE ICONZ AND RECONIZED JUS LIKE THEM OTHER NIGGAZ,,I MEAN SUMBODY POINTED OUT BIG-L IN THE CROWD,,NOW IF HE FUCKED WIT HIM,,U KNOW THEY CRACK,,BCUZ SKILLZ RECONIZE SKILLZ,,AND BIG-L WASNT EVEN TRYIN TO GET SHINE,,HE JUST SUPPORTIN
lmao i really think the white media just dumb down hip hop and made it so it easy for white people to like it cuz songs like this would have never got any play on mtv or any white pop station like kayne west or drake gets cuz u really got to be in the hood to understand where they coming from
I was like 15 listening to this everyday before I go play ball or work out....the first Smooth verse was a hip hop quotable that made me go buy it even though I never heard of the dude
anyone know how to get a hold of this song and album? can't find it on amazon or itunes. this song would be great to lift to. listenin to grimy shit like this or The Infamous always gets you jacked up
Thanks for posting this TRACK! This is from an era where you had to have skills to touch a mic! No corny dances, stupid hooks etc. Skills ONLY! Damn I miss the old school which is the true form of this artform!
Such A Dope Definition Of Hip-Hop Circa 1996 And One Of D.R Period's Crowning Achivements For Creating Such Concrete Chaos For Two Raw Emcess Setting It Off. Classic Album That Is Worth The Search If You Can Find It....
@SlyJuice They are not the first Mcs talking about ebonics in a song. Big L was iller than them niggaz. They're great mcs too but L was 4-5 levels above them
word @chrystopyer..,send this shit to lil wayne @ souljah clown...and the rest of those skinny jean sportn faggs with lil dogs in their pocket books,.....LOL 1
@blackfalconsungodzzz: It's ironic, becuz I haven't heard this in years and something told me to play this before my workout today! Westside Chicago...bout to get built on y'all!!! Hitting repeat now!
@chicagoconnoisseur Yeah charlie i'm from the Westside and I use to BANG the hel out of this in my Sony Walkman catching the El-Train. Back then cats would be smoking L's on the platform and in the back of the train.lol. This reminds me of having to be careful on the subway for niggas trying to stick me for my Jordan's and all those cold winter nights I had to sleep in the jets( Henry Horner) at my auntie's house on the 5 floor and the elevators used to always go out.lol.
LMFAO!....damn i love how you dudez swear cause you wear skinny jeans you don't know shit. im pretty damn sure im younger than you and listen to wayyy more real hiphop then ya ass and i rap myself and no dancing shit real raw shit that is some fag shit i don't judge a artist for what they wearing i judge a artist on they grammar and what they spitting about....ignorance is a shame
I'd guess BDK and LDS were brothers like Smoothe and Trig. They both did collabos as brothers, maybe Smoothe claiming this collabo is better than theirs
@cybersalad he said big daddy kane and daddy shane was brothers smooth da huslter and trigga are brothers blood brothers both from bk so basically he sayin we the new big daddy kane and little daddy shane it was a complainment no diss
