Geto Boys - My Minds Playin Tricks On Me

Geto Boys, bad choice for the bone track, they have at least 10 tracks that are easily better.

Am I going to be the lone Bone Thugs voter?

Both are classics, but I feel that The Geto Boyz' contribution here sounds dated, whereas Bone Thug's contribution is timeless and if it never came out in the mid 1990s and came out today it would still be very much contemporary and still as classic as it really is.

My vote:

Bone Thugs and Eazy-E - For da Luv of $

Mind's Playin' Tricks On Me should go far in this competition. Brilliant song.

I feel like Bone Thugs barely even merit mention, much less a victory, in a best of the 90s tournament, particularly against an incredible track like "Mind Playin' Tricks..."

I will hold off on voting until I hear Reggie's analysis of Eazy-E's verse and why he loves it so damn much

the Geto Boys is on a whole nother level than the Bone song, even though I love it too.

Mind Is Playin' wins

good thing we included that bone thugs song eh?

fuck it, I voted for it just to lessen the spread.

When admiral showed me an early version of the list of nominees, I said it looked all good to me. I would have personally tweaked a few songs here and there, but I couldn't really hate on any particular choice--EXCEPT "Foe tha Love of $." I told him I would make my thoughts on this song known, and now is the time...

This Bone Thugs song is truly terrible. If you like this song, then there are a lot of things that you and I will probably never see eye-to-eye on. Really, it's Eazy's verse, perhaps one of the worst verses ever recorded in rap history, that puts the final nail in the coffin. Overall, the song is uninspired, and the trademark lazy drawl sounds like a mouth full of marbles on this track. My friends and I still reference this track when we are talking about shitty music: "Oh yeah, 'Amusement Park' sucks, but at least it's no 'Foe tha Luv of $'."

G-g-g-g-Geto Boys.

G-g-g-g-Geto Boys.

Standin' on the corner straight slangin' rocks
Aw Shit! Here comes the muthafuckin' cops!
So I dash, I ducks, and I hides behind a tree
Makin' sure the muthafuckas don't see me
Now my fat sack of rocks hell yeah i stuffed 'em
Police on my draws, i had to pause
And yeah, it's still muthafuck 'em
Now my game is tight, tight as fuck is my game
Easy muthafuckin E or Eric Wright it's all the same
Now niggas might trip on how I stash my grip
I gotta have it bitch
For the love of this shit
MUTHAFUCKA!!
