Might as well give Allen Anthony & Christion more appreciation while we at it:


The hook on Freeway's Alright:






The remix was better to me...:





Just Leave:









Can i go off topic and say that early Rocafella had great R&B talent with Christion and of course Rell:

Jay should of just let Puffy handle them and produced the albums, Roc-a-Fella wasn't the greatest on the R&B side back then. Features? Sure but actually putting out R&B Albums? Not really. Christon and Rell should of definitely gone further because they were talented. "Full of Smoke" is a Classic Record. So many rappers have reference that song in their lyrics. Their vocals were flawless, I actually copped the single so I could have the instrumental too. It's crazy how great the song sounds now, R&B isn't being sang like this right now period. The song was actually a mild hit too hitting #53 on the Hot 100 and Top 15 on the R&B/Hip Hop Charts. Here's the original single cover and tracklist. The acapella was banging too. Singles were much better in the 80's and 90's because of the instrumentals, B-sides and remixes.

I still say all Hov has to do is do a live version of American Dreamin'

With each one of those dudes on opposite sides of the stage doing different vocals for the hook

Rerelease it as "Jay-Z feat Christion"

Them brehs would be right back on top :mjgrin:
