"Stake is high" is the better song, "what they do" had the better video.

Stakes is high.
Plug Won SNAPPED on every verse and I don't think that gets acknowledged enough in hip hop history honestly.

There is no right answer. It's whatever I'm in the mood for. Two undeniable classics.

Lol "snooty". Maybe hip hop should have been more "snooty" and we wouldn't have the modern landscape. Cats was trying to warn, but record label constant urge for profit took over.
Another classic trying to push back on the criminal rhyme take over.

Stakes Is High. Easily.
"What They Do" was corny. That was how rappers trolled and hated on other rappers back in the day. I also don’t like how The Roots tried to front like they weren't speaking about specific artists. If you're gonna go that far to make a whole video about it, then at least stand on what you're trying to say. They got scared and tried to deny it. The Roots were one of my favorite groups at the time, but that was a mad wack move.
