When I saw "We In Here" was missing I was surprised cause that beat is some fly shit. But then I peeped. "Stamp on the dope...Soul Plane."

One thing Cam knows how to do is pick beats. Nas should hire him. Shit, the industry should hire him.

I didn't even know there was a I Luh Hur video- that joint is crazy. Vagina Diner is a classic, but Large Pro has as much to do with that as Ak. Aktapuss and whatever else followed were terrible- unlistenable. He traded dope beats for porn, to each their own. Last I heard he went in on a raunchy str...

IG Off and Kwest the Maad Lad were on this show- that's for a date reference, I don't have their sets on here- this is the tail end of the show. Both sides on one file- the shit is a bit bugged.

I basically agree with everything Phila said. Nas and Primo have tried to work together but nothing panned out from what I heard and you know how that goes. Then egos get in the mix and rappers/artists are super sensitive. Similar with Jigga. Word is also that Primo can take forever to get hold of a...

This definitely sounds like '89. Personally I prefer a more refined Pete Rock.

I think "Where My Homiez" might be frowned upon now with it's sing-songyness and lack of lyrical skills. But when it dropped pretty much everybody was feeling it. And it was cool to do shit like that. "I'll Take Her" is my shit too. Once R&B hooks became the status quo in the late 90s, people got tu...

I don't feel that CL and Guru are in the same position. CL's flow could have had him succeed with other producers- but we'll never know. He just stopped making music and years later pops up without Pete and without any buzz. His lack of relevance hurt him the most. Guru has remained relevant for the...

Guru is a bit delusional. Primo made Guru sound good. I don't think either Preem or Guru as solo artists are Gang Starr- it's all or nothing. If they're not going to work together then GS needs to be retired to the rafters.
