OC Born 2 Live Vs Pete Rock & CL Smooth Take You There

[King Sun]

For years I always thought the pete rock version was the best but now this year I don;t know brehs. I think I prefer that gritty sound.

OC

 

[phonthought3000]

OC.....to me it's more soulful

 

[Victorious Secret]

Pete Rock every time

 

[I love Latina women]

Take You There; Crystal Johnson singing the soulful hook is what gives it the extra inch in the win

 

[FlyGuy]

.....LIKE A STAR

 

[Mr. Negative]

Voted Pete Rock.

No knock on the OC joint, but The Main Ingredient.... magic in that album, IMO

 

[MurderToCassette]

Remix is better, always thought the Rising to the Top flip felt out of place in the flow of the album.

 

[DredScott]

both classics to me, which is better really just depends on my mood.

If i'm feeling introspective, "Born 2 Live" is one of those joints that just hits you hard and makes you think, while "Take You There" gets me hyped and feeling upbeat and motivated.

Don't get it twisted because Born 2 Live is one of the best coming of age songs in hip hop

 

[mobbinfms]

O.C. for me. Easily.

 

[ThirdAct]

Both are classic but the O.C. version hits harder for me.

this is so true...I remember listening to born 2 live after a friend died young and expectedly...shyt hit my soul.

 

[Knicksman20]

Love both these songs but I'm going with OC

 

[frush11]

O.C.

Even Main Ingredient is one of my top 10 albums.
