Havoc was a fukkin' genius for the sample flip. No spatula.



And that was easily one of Esco's greatest verses.

I'm sure they had an array of doo rags in multiple colors to match whatever blazer/hawaiian button up combo they wound up wearing. Nas got caught out there and forgot his blue doo rag. lol

This!!!

@Danie84 thank you for writing that. It gave me yet another perspective on the video.

I used to see it all time on t.v back then after high school as well! So it showed that reach and presence.

This video completely elevated rap.

Scary how it took me years to get it tho.

Still. I love it and It's a classic music video.

I can not really see any hip hop head thinking otherwise.

Even in this thread, there's no real hate on it.

It's a masterwork.

I learned the sampled Scarface again when I caught that sample in the film after the fact.

How grimy of a sample can you get? fukk.

 

[Crumple]

Separate question.

Why do you guys feel this Mobb Deep Nas video got way more attention then my Method Man post in 2020?

I asked what Meg's best tracks post 20)6 were. No one replied at all even after I bumped it. I made a new playlist myself.

What is it about Nas and MobbDeep that gets more love then Mef?

I'm thinking cause he stayed grimy - which I love.

But they have clean styles too.

Thing is so does Meth.

I don't get it.

 

[Ty-Fife]

Halle Berry blew a kiss at the Barbara Streisand concert

Silk pants color pink, gators match, gangsta, musical thing... and I front like my doo-doo dont stink

shyt is better than a novel, autobiographic, spit it on tracks it becomes classic

That's my fukking GOAT, man

On the real ... when this video came out...
I was trying to catch it everytime.
I was trying to catch it on the radio so I can record it on tape.

This is my top maybe 5 song of all time.

To this day, I dnt know who had the better verse Prodigy or Nas
