Admittedly, I've started to grow out of mainstream rap but why don't we see those ensemble remix tracks anymore with like 4-6 guest features on a single track? Or maybe I'm just out the loop.

In the 2000s I remember bangers like:

We Fly High Remix, One Blood Mega Remix, Ay Bay Bay Remix, Throw Some D's Remix, Top Back Remix and some others.

The closest you got to that was the life is good remix wiry lil baby and da baby

you’re just not going to get long songs in any form these days

posse cuts and songs with 3 verses are archaic as well

I am comfortable and I love you
The "remastered" version of Ready to Die is weak, missing the horns in the chorus, I assume because of issues with sample clearance.

I took the extra time and dough to hunt down an OG for the sound quality, but I think they only started changing this in pressings made after 2006 when that case happened. Cause I got the remaster right when it came out in 2004 and I'm pretty sure it has the samples :patrice:

On my Richard sh*t today. Fire up Tidal, type in Richie Rich, hit play and ride out. One of my top 3 favorite rapper of all time and he ain't 3. Since the EP dropped. [ignorant]Special shots out to Rich training hoes at Muggs in Castro Valley. It was nice sharing a Hennessy and chopping it up.[/ignorant]

:jawalrus:

This one hit a little different tho when it came on. Rich came through, but Celly Cell really buried this:

Cuddy Presents Miss America Feat. San Quinn, Joe Blow , Richie Rich, & Celly Cel



Rich: ...Deep East Oakland, Frisco Where you at? Huntin' for these suckers like a pirate with a treasure map.Till we cross roads, hold me down on the other side, Fu*k you Miss America til you stop letting my brothers die..."

Cell: Miss America....When you seen his eyes wide and his soul leave, but it was all part of your plan to control these, youngstas in the streets, making sho' they packing heat, Daddy gone, Mama struggling, so the game is how they eat...

...peer pressure the homie copped to a lesser, the victim is on a stretcher, we dying just for your pleasure....did America scream? did America care? Did America cry? Yo dream wasn't meant for us, it's all lies..."

:wow:

Mid 90s San Quinn is one of my favorites to listen to. He had the type of flow, delivery, and voice where pretty much anything sounded good.
