Perfection ft. Snoop Dogg - Understand Perfection (1992)
When Snoop said "Perfection is perfected so I'ma let 'em understand" on Nuthin' But A "G" Thang he was referring to this pre-The Chronic underground song he'd appeared on. A jam 4 real.

3 great old songs I discovered last year:
39 Posse - Got What It Takes To Make It (1991)
One of KLC's earliest productions by his old group. Second Line brass × Bob James Mardi Gras bells.
Mac Dre - Doin' What I Do (2001)
Mac Dre's discography is so deep that you can always find a song you've missed.
Field Mob - At The Park (2006)
Incredible Country Rap. How was this not a single?

Homeliss Derilex - Fuck You! (1993)
Best Fuck You song in Rap history imho.
Andre Nickatina - Nickatina Says (2000)
Nickatina slap classico I'd totally slept on until recently.

All these years I thought Andre Nickatina was some Anticon / Jay Seagraves type ish.

Rich Boy - All I Know (2011)
Beautiful song. Rich Boy & Supa Villain were as good a combination as Rich Boy & Polow Da Don. R.I.P Supa Villain.

Mysonne - In Jail (2011)
R.I.P Prince Markie Dee from the Fat Boys. This is the best Fat Boys beatjack of the past 10 years, and by far Mysonne's best song.

Digital Underground - Tie The Knot (1991)
2 main reasons why Digital Underground were THE shit: their music was so damn funky and there isn't another Rap group on Earth who could have come up with some of their songs
Also, a sick Shock G remix for Prince I only discovered last year:
Prince - Love Sign (Shock G's Silky Remix) (1998)

^^ So tru.
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Nightmare On My Street (1988)
This video finally turning up online after being banned for 30 years made me very happy. Legitimately one of the greatest Rap videos of all time.
R.I.P Prince Markie Dee from the Fat Boys. This is the best Fat Boys beatjack of the past 10 years, and by far Mysonne's best song.
Sheesh! This is great.
Whatever happened to the Fat Boys tho. I heard they broke up.

5th Ward Weebie - Supa Sunday In N.O (2003)
Love this song so much. I've never been to a Supa Sunday In New Orleans but this song paints such a vivid picture of what goes down, it makes me feel like I have.
R.I.P Weebie, natch.

^Video not available on YouTube for me unfortunately.
“Let Me Find Out” tho Donell Jones “Where I Wanna Be” type chords playing on the hook takes it the next level imo.

^^ A classic. Remix with Snoop & Juvenile was good too.
Another Weebie fave on the R&Bounce tip:
5th Ward Weebie ft. S 8ighty & Ya Boy Big Choo - Club Luv (2016)
O.G R&Bounce classic:
Dolamite - Hustlas (1995)

Man I miss Weebie. He could've made a classic song in every decade until he turned 90.
After Let Me Find Out, which is one of my personal favourites from the last decade, I think my favourite of his would be this one:

^^ Yeah, that's peak Real Instruments™ Rap innit?
Greg Nice - Set It Off (1994)
A minor classic which should be a major classic. I want to live in a world where this is as big a choon as Dwyck.

Hoping someone can help with an ID on this track from late 2001/early 2002:
Homeboy Sandman - Conjugal Visit To The Prison Of The Mind (2014)
A rollerskating jam of old by Sandman which recently got a video.
HBSM is in my top 10 all time. Overall catalog is consistently flames on flames on fire out the mercury volcano in an air fryer on the sun with the car windows up at the Walmart parking lot.

Donell Jones “Where I Wanna Be” type chords playing on the hook takes it the next level imo.
