Oakland Blackouts. That beat was fiyah. Del and Opio trading off bars was crazy to me.

Really wanted to go Braggin Writes but could not pass up that G Rap. Ill T-Ray production and Grimm, B, and G Rap just drop murderous verses. If i was ever going to kill someone that song would be played to get me ready.



Since I murder for hire, rapid fire's what I require
Makin niggas perspire, so send a message through the wire
Cause violence is contagious, it got me bustin gauges
The '95 Larry Davis and I'm wettin niggas for wages
Queens is the home of 1, the known felon
And ain't no tellin, when I'mma crack your fuckin melon
For the right amount of chips, I spit clips and hit whips
Leavin niggas bloody, the leather seats is where the shit drips
With the pound-seven, I be creepin, rockin niggas while they sleepin
Shots repeatin, leavin faggot niggas leakin
When I cock back the iron, niggas is dyin, marchin to Zion
Cause the pound-cake, roars like a lion
Word son, niggas be collapsin, cause my weapons is
Ready for action, makin your heart catch contractions
In the underworld, shootin gallery niggas lose calories
Cause my salary's based on fatalities

B1's verse is so fucking good. He has some decent singles. He was on Rawkus at one point.

This B1 single wasn't on Rawkus, but it wasone of my fave cuts by him:

B-1 w/ Large Professor - Put Yo' Self In My Place



Can't decide between Havin' Thangs and Take 'Em To War in this poll.

Verbal Affairs by B1 was decent. He did a couple of other things with Large Pro in the late 90s/early 00s

Went with Braggin Writes, even though J-Live's discography bores me these days.

Take Em To War has the illest Axelrod sample I've ever heard, and I do like MF Grimm, but that song is comic relief. It was hard to take in with a straight face when I was a teenager, and it ain't getting much easier now that I'm pushing 40. I'm guessing that it's Hustle Crowe's favorite song of all time. Can you picture him and his boys driving through the rough areas of Rhode Island and singing along with the chorus?

Having a hard time picking between All Caps and Oakland Blackouts. Going with All Caps because it's one of the most unique beats ever plus Doom is sick on it.

Take 'Em To War is dope but not close to the two I mentioned imo. I was listening to American Hunger a couple of hours ago coincidentally enough. I never liked Grimm's voice or flow that much *shrug*.
