Y'all know bout the golden era of hip hop, I'm sure.
The 88-96. Ya girl was still two steppin' in the bahay kubo's of Metro Maynila, Taguig, doin the tsinelas thang in the streets BUT lemme just say....
The breadth of late 80's-90's hip hop & r&b that came out is nothing short of profound. Trust, I've been knee deep in these beats, lyrics, and hooks and it is the TRUTH. [Thank God] To wet the palette for a minute, lets discuss JODECI. Originating from Virgina and North Carolina are the members Jo-Jo, DeGrate (including both Dalvin and DeVante) and K-Ci. Under the management of Diddy to Uptown Records, the r&b group went platinum on three different ablums, including: Love Always, It's Real, and X. If "Forever my Lady" can attest to the lyrical pull these gentlemen have on women, "What about us" would demonstrate the effects of gravity on our articles of clothing. You heard it here first.
I wish I had a nice MPC to sample and chop the kicks and snares off these records.
I'd be gettin my Pete Rock on, no doubt.
Short little freestyle before I drift off to sweet dreams:
"You sound like a broken record the way you talk about money/
boastin bout the layaway chain on ya neck, I think its funny/
See, you amateur rappers spit rhymes without a solid foundation/ of your artform's creation/ using foul imagination right from the start, referee called it, and you never had the heart/
Do you use art to make money, or do you make money from the art/
game recognize real game/ and I can tell you sucka emcees apart/"
..daaaaammm, that was all me yo- your welcome! :)
