Suga Free is Not Guilt Free

I love hip hop from Oakland, California. Rappin 4-Tay, Too $hort, 2Pac, Andre Nickatina, Motion Man, Mac Dre, Mac Mall, and plenty more legends hail from the Bay Area. Suga Free's a lesser-legend. He's got a sing-song style to his flow and he was all over Oakland tracks in the 90s. Street Gospel is his best album, probably because it came out in 1997 and DJ Quik produced all the songs. Traditional Oakland player music. It's a badass record but it takes a certain mood to listen to. It's a guilty pleasure for sure. I feel like I should have a drink in my hand when I play it.

Young Chris' "Grandson killin' 'em, Grandma!"

I've had a rap lyric in my head for a few days because it's so bad, sounds funny to me. On Freeway and Jake One's alright "Stimulus Package", there's a song called "Microphone Killa" featuring Young Chris of the underwhelming Young Gunz. Remember them? Barely? Yeah, so anyway, Young Chris' verse (at 2:03) goes like this: "Microphone killa, no Cam'ron/bomb like landmine/I don't aks shit, I demand mine/I take a little bit and expand mine/grandson killin 'em, Grandma!" Yipee, look at me! He says "grandma" nasally and whiney and I want to punch him in the arm. Haha so lame.

Getting Old

I listen to mixtapes, the DJ Whitowls, DJ Dramas, Tapemasters Inc and all that bullshit, and I'll find a good song here and there but I always go back to the classics. I like rap from the nineties. I notice I write about Wu Tang too much in this blog. Old Wu tracks sound as fresh to me now as they did when they came out. So do Biggie, Pac, DJ Premier, Black Moon, old Mobb Deep, and the list goes on but stops in the late nineties. Maybe I'll find something else to write about.
