To catch up with all these motherfuckers ‘round here dyin’Īnd God, I want you to stop me if you think I’m lyin’ …A plane gotta hit the world trade a couple more times You’ll find more killers around this bitch in the church, nigga… When 9/11 happened it was just a couple killers …And in the hood we weren’t too impressed by 9/11Ĭause everyday in the hood is fuckin’ 9/11 But he does question both the ‘gangsta-ism’ of Bin Laden as well as the attention paid to the victims of 9/11. He is also not lacking in the ‘gangsta rap’ hat trick of messages: ‘Don’t be fake’, ‘Carry a gun’ and ‘For some reason my hood is plagued with society’s ills.’Īlthough he promotes ‘pikin’ a gun and staying mum with dem ‘jike’ boys, Plies doesn’t claim that his hood, nicknamed ‘Pike-istan,’ is harder than yours and suggests that your hood ain’t no harder than his.
Claiming to be the hottest in Florida it’s clear that Plies is not lacking in ego. The beat comes in but seems to get scared away by Plies vocals. ‘Freestyle’ exploits an electric bass, a Casio-type high hat, a dramatic synth tone and something sounding like an over-torqued screw gun (?) to maximum gutter effect. Also surprising, is his appearance on Trina’s album for the song ‘So Fresh.’ I know, it’s all Slip-N-Slide fam but when I heard his ‘Freestyle’ I thought he was going to hit the airwaves much darker and harder. There’s a huge white-on-black ‘Plies’ t-shirt that shows up at the end of the Trina and Lil’ Wayne video for ‘Don’t Trip.’ and it sort of took me off guard. Myers aka Plies Da Realist (and note the spelling) let us remember the dead Philly slumlord that misused public funds, teamed up with Bill Bennett (who recently suggested crime was tied to a ‘race,’ and tried to get some dough for a bad sex life (but got kicked to the curb by the court). So as I present some offensive and gully words of Slip-N-Slide affiliate Plies from Ft.
She CHOSE that path and so a certain portion of the Hip-Hop Generation ( Chang-ian meaning, of course) will always give her legacy a hard look from a b-boy askance… her civil rights work will never stand without her embarrassing attempts at policing morality. DeLores Tucker for her anti-‘gangsta rap’ crusades but she definitely chose an issue she knew would get her headlines. Masta Ace –Born To Roll / Jeep Ass Niguh Remix ( yousendit) ( rapidshare)Īshanti, Paul Wall, Method Man – Still On It ( yousendit) ( rapidshare) Original Concept - Knowledge Me (Instrumental) ( yousendit) ( rapidshare) If it was just Meth hitting clean-up I probably wouldn’t have noticed (and the Paul Wall guest spot is more market driven than ‘slow’ driven) but damn if it doesn’t sound like a perfect track to vibrate some candy slabs during this reign of the Tex. lets him do it over the “Knowledge Me” chug. (not to be confused with Masta Ace Inc.) has opened Ashanti’s single with Paul Wall talking about his love of… oh you know… and The Inc.
That East Coast novelty track, once transformed into an East Coast version of the West Coast car bump sound, is now tapped as an East Coast version of a crawling Texas beat. Is it a coincidence that the dominance of the West Coast Dre G-funk sound would inspire Ace to use the East Coast Dre track to evoke the booming systems of Either Coasts slow-drivers? The lyrics even address street rivalry with West Coast styled low-riders. album ‘Slaughtahouse’ was already a standout on an underrated album (although a certain radio host proclaimed it ‘Album of the Year’) but the OC track, based around the leisurely but unrelenting propulsion of the buzzing, almost burping, bass chug, took the Ace tune to another place. The original “JAN” from the Masta Ace Inc. The track was elevated from ‘novelty’ status, via a remix of “Jeep Ass Niguh”. Original Concept’s production on “Knowledge Me” was far greater than the humorous not-rapped rambling vocals. I suppose it’s just a street adaptation of a Five-percenter-filtered version of the hick request to a potential teacher, “Learn me somethin’.” ‘Knowledge’ was often dropped along with ‘science’ and the other Dre even dropped English with the help of Ice Cube. Money song, was not a phrase that caught on… at least to knowledge mine. “Knowledge me,” the titular phrase from the Dr.
