Cormega - American Beauty

[CarlosEnrique408]

juice

[BlueMagicHoodini]

Mega.

[A3189]

there is another rap song to this beat. it says something like chewy mhnnn does anyone know what the song is called?

[MikeAdriance]

@A3189 Smoke dope and rap by andre nickatina fool.

[AliAceCard]

much respect to real rap, but, we all know who won that Queens battle...

[JL0183]

lame with a drug dealer name (nas escobar) haha fuck nas

[KindredKunoichi]

There is not a single mediocre Track on this Album. Simply put it, Mega dropped the realest East Coast Album since 'Illmatic' (IMO)!!! I love how he makes subtle comparisons of Hip Hop with a Human Being on this.....Unlike Nickatina who sampled the same beat with the same ol' "Smoke Dope & Rap" kinda thing!!! (Although I am a huge Nicky fan!!) Woot!! Peace!!

[HolidayStyles]

didnt jadakiss use the same bass line on that track with nas

[jimmysworld205]

The best ny rapper hands down

[Shanobi219]

@CORMEGA REALEST NIGGA EVER AND BACK WHEN I WAS 14-15 I REMEMBER BANGIN TO THIS SHIT. TOO BAD YOU STOPPED MAKING MUSIC, AND OF COURSE YOU COULD'VE BEEN THE GREATEST.

[JL0183]

@Shanobi219 he still makes music

[egorlike]

[thathazey1224]

@egorlike nah on his new album "girl" is about coke, pretty dope too dude!

[slickhenrik]

[wercia128]

[ItMightBeAChicken]

[wandawicked1]

[krazzyyo2]

AZ, Nas, Mega..the best..insane!!

[codieboakes]

2 favourite songs from this guy ** hes good but 2 of my favorite songs out of all underground ppl ur pritty dam gooddd!!

[DonnyRocco]

She met a lame with a drug dealer name / He had a lot for a while, but then his whole style changed - He's talking 'bout 50 Cent

[NaStyNaS1973]

@DonnyRocco yea I never realized that, I think he says he had it locked for a while though.

[NizzleHudsizzle]

@DonnyRocco

He's actually talking about Nas. This song came out some time before 50 blew up

[TheWuCepticon81]

@DonnyRocco Nope, he's talking about Nas there, with whom he had beef with at the time. 50 Cent was still an underground rapper when this track came out.

[DonnyRocco]

@TheWuCepticon81 Yeah you right at first I thought 50 cus the description fits 50 perfectly too

[djdurag]

@DonnyRocco ... lame with a drug dealing name.. he's talking about when NaS was calling himself Esco

[djdurag]

@djdurag .. short for Escobar

[theomac30]

@DonnyRocco talking about nas

[kulminemand]

nice track but the beat is from brotha lynch hung....

[ADRO2011]

[OnTheRunSinceBirth]

EPIC for me all bullshit aside. Word

[loshillsiders]

DOCTA DOOM KIDS

[silencerdl]

smokin chewy hah if yall are familar with Nickatina.. this mix is dope with the same beat too def a fan of this dude

[01thrilla]

oh shit this some heavy shittt lovin the beat damnnnn!!!

[CronicFiend]

this beat is bad ass, some dirty harry shit

[ryazbeck]

same beat as 24 Deep by Brotha Lynch Hung

[LedZep8250]

This is good but Brotha Lynch Hung (24 Deep) and Andre Nickatina (Smoke Dope and Rap) both rocked this beat better

[Soka313]

@LedZep8250 I feel you, both songs are indeed good, but Cormega got mine vote since I heard this version first. beat is ...ecstasy

[Smokinpurple86]

@LedZep8250 heard all those tracks too but for real mega ate this shit especially with the story

[montecarlomayne]

Reminds me of Juice

[pryme]

@montecarlomayne hell yeah after Bishop loses his shit and Q goes looking for him. Classic flick "you got the Juice now"

[vinjule]

does anyone know who he is talking about ?

[sfgiantsince86]

@vinjule Cormega is talkin about Hip-Hop

[NASTY1HUSH1COLLABZ]

@sfgiantsince86 Also dissing 50 cent? i think, "She met a lame with a drug dealer name, he had alot for a while but his whole style changed" Haaaa cormegaa thug forever! fell back ..pause. Fell off never!! Respect tha realness peopleee

[Antrizzle2009]

@NASTY1HUSH1COLLABZ He wasn't talkin about 50. 50 wasn't even out yet in the mainstream. This came out in 2001. He was talkin about Nas. Nas started callin himself Nas Escobar and many claim he switched his style after Illmatic. Plus 'Mega was dissin Nas on virtually every song on that album.

[musicthatilike]

School Of Hard Knocks used this beat first in 1992 on "Hands of a Stranger"

[aduckcalledronan]

this beat is a unique one...

for all you hip hop heads, check out andre nickatina - smoke dope and rap

he rides this beat a lot better then cormega does..

i cant take cormega seriously after hearing destroy and rebuild by nas. hes good but there are a lot of tigers that are another level then him...

[Blspike]

@aduckcalledronan Nas is goat, but he could take a page out of cormegas book called 'Consistency'.

[dark3ydon]

u understand the message - i know im gettin to deep 4 sum

says it all music like this has got to deep 4 some thats why we stuck with that water down shit u hearin nowaday bad times the best should all start gettin on it n save hiphops/raps name cnn-cormega-the old mobb -nas-e.t.c an new line for this song would be shes become a whoa again gettin fucked by every 1 and gettin no respect the greats should put there cross hairs on the likes of soulja boi n lil wayne

[PremiumGaming]

Everybody check out: Fried Chicken - Nas

[shameless721]

arguably the most slept on, underrated, real, ill, and lyrical emcee ever

[cubebru]

GREAT TRACK!

[mixtapephenom]

5 people don't like this ? Get the fuck outta here this ish' is fire . Please .

[IIDivineShadowII]

@djintro wow dude andre nickatina took this beat also. i hate when rappers take beats people say its honoring the track fuck that.

[IIDivineShadowII]

this beat is originally from around 1993, artist is Brotha Lynch Hung, song is called 24 Deep.

[86twin]

@IIDivineShadowII actually this beat is from Southside Movements song I've been watching you. From around 1975.

[ofashodo]

as far as those metaphoric hip hop personification type songs--this is top notch

[SNoCappidona]

Yo, i aint even realize that this song is in that movie Juice untill i seen it the other day and heard the beat. That had me dumbin.

[AnteeeUpp]

Its just the sample tho

[MxHaZem0nKeY]

@SNoCappidona son its just a sample this beat been used plenty of times in Coc, dre i believe used it too

[BeatJunkie87]

[ac1058as]

hes talkin about hiphop

[stupidputaent]

cormega you are too good to be slept on

[Not2Shaby]

"She met a lame with a drug dealer name....." (I wonder who he talking about.

[CaReLo127]

HES TALKIN BOUT NAS

[CaReLo127]

HES TALKIN BOUT NAS... NOT2SHABY

[MxHaZem0nKeY]

@CaReLo127 his talking about Hip-Hop

[OGDonJuan]

nas (escobar) or 50 cent i guess

[UngratefulLiving420]

SO sick

[chenbe21]

is anyone knows the meaning of this line

Cory's a felony despite time

anyone??? thanks :]

[bigdominance]

he never served the time for a felony but hes committed one

[chenbe21]

@bigdominance so what youre sayin it that he committed a felony but never serverd time in jail? so whats the thing about Cory's?

thanks

[bigdominance]

Cory is his real name

[chenbe21]

@bigdominance so how would you translate it to real english? he mixed my head up :S

[bigdominance]

He pretty much committed murder or some other felony and never got caught so he never spent time in jail for it

[chenbe21]

@bigdominance so how does it connects to the rest of the song?

thank you for all the patience and the help

[ac1058as]

Cory Mcckay is the man

[DTOXuno]

@ac1058as its CORMEGA yall punk bitch! LOL

[edddollar]

payback brown side!

[xpunkxflip]

true this beat has been sampled a million times. this one goes hard

mega is ill for doin' this song

[MatadorShifter]

Cormega did nothing to this beat, just speeded it up.

But he totally murdered it lyrically, if that track would be longer then I'd say its better than "I used to love H.E.R."

[Wangtime1]

That Cricket gets me everytime I'm smokin a Blunt to my head LOL!! I always look around for a Cricket on the floor to step on lol!!!!

[lilmizzLoViN]

LMAO!!!

[DLcKxFTR]

JUICE

[keldronfarron]

Dopeness!!

[iamnostradamus1]

he got beef wit nas cuase they were in a group called 'he firm' and they kicked him out and replaced him with nature

[nobodyhouston187]

the realness of the real Cormega Rhyming poetically about a lady Name Hip-Hop......

[supermelon45]

[ebonicpoet]

[qwerty5550123]

[AlreadyEddie]

[weaver1607]

LOL

[Econ6900]

That's Because He's Talking about Nas. Duh!! Escobar. Nas Escobar.

[johntravoltaremix]

yo who is mega talking about when "she met a lame with a drug dealer name he had a lot for a while but his whole style changed" 50 comes to mind but it doesn't work chronologically

[VIKILLER2]

that's the first person pop in my mind.the fake crew line was talking about "THE FIRM" with nas,dr.dre,foxy brown,they replace him with nature

[johntravoltaremix]

i realized its probably just nas when he called himself nas escobar

[gyasik]

probably nas...

[bawa213]

he's talking about nas....nas escobar

[TheElementBeatz]

I always thought it was Nas, Escobar=Drug dealer name

[xXDouchayXx]

HOW FUCKIN PRIME IS THIS SONG HOLY SHIT

[BlueHanzo]

Got that Bruce Lee beat...

[itsmarcuslark]

[yungbldk9]

[Walord908]

[croRapStyle]

illest song ever !! this one is like too simple and too good to be true

[Tonik23]

i regard this song as 'i used to love her' part 2

[Shoujoboy51]

Yeah that's what I thought the concept to this song was while listening to the lyrics.

[BESONE215]

this is one of megas illest verses

[speakerbox151]

My favorite mega song

[Freshhhhh1982]

Little nas diss in there.

[steezitup]

Sample is "The Southside Movement - Ive Been Watching You"

[juswolf22]

[markschillin]

[i95SouthBound]

that video response has the original beat southside Movement's

[KrfNYC2]

This sounds like "Harlem Nights" by Children of the Corn.

[coltendope420]

same beat

[wrmarvin88]

cormega is tight, a true street poet, good to hear some real hip hop for a change

[doubleknuckled]

Hot beat. Scarface first used the loop on his first solo album back in 1991.

[730inTheHead]

i know this beat was made popular on the film juice and several hip hop have sampled it since brotha lynch hung,children of the corn and jadakiss and nas. it was sampled in the intro on 1973's Southside Movement's "I've Been Watching You" .does anybody on here know where it is originally from?

[eserkone]
