your wardrobe don't switch enough to follow the gawd

Box In Hand all the way, Camay is great to, I love the piano samples on both those joints.

he kills that verse in a weird way (as well as the verse on "iron maiden"). back then, cappa had that breathless , go on forever style that was just crazy. he sounded hungry and spit 70 bar verses with no punch-in's. that shit always stuck out to me. his lyrics may never have been amazing (or made much sense) but he's got that "rapping till is heart stop" vibe to him.
Remember when this type of thing didn't need to be explained on a message board.

Yeah, but people were never able to explain it in person.

I knew I should have included a special caveat in my first post explicitly for Thun.

Word to the cat talkin bout Cappa's verse on "Iron Madien", that "every evening I have a by myself meeting" is one of the illest lines of all time to me. If I was an emcee I would sample that specific line for a hook and just rap around it.

Its funny how one of the top tracks on this album doesn't have Ghost on it (Assassination Day), but my vote has to go to "Soul Controller" the Sam Cook sample/interpretation is classic and the Carlito's Way sample at the end is the icing on The Cake.

This isn't on my copy, fuck Europe.

Daytona 500 is my current favourite.

^I forget which did and didn't have Soul Controllah.
I'm pretty sure the vinyl doesn't, but the cassette does and CD does.
Not positive.

Also, the skit dialogs sampled from "Education Of Sonny Carson"
are >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"You ain't Smokey, ain't yo motherfuckin' message"
