TRASH?

Y'all be tryin' to hard to make a "bold statement" on here...

Trash is a long way to go... there's been a lot of rappers who I'll gladly call trash, CL Smooth is not one of 'em. Not an elite MC, but hell if he classifies as being wack by any means.

He had a ok, if not boring flow. but he said absolutely nothing. Nobody knows of any CL quotables. He got zero features after his work with Pete Rock. Dude is ZQuil on the mic. Nobody checks for dude which is weird because i cant think of any other rapper with a 5 mic album that has ZERO fans

he did a song with az etc i understand u don't like his rhyme style but let's tell the truth.

Dog, hes reminiscing. Basically talking about his family and loved ones and stand out moments from the past. He dedicated it to T Roy to pay homage but the focus isnt just about him.

THIS...

I understood this at age 12... why are we on here as adults tryin' to discredit this song cause every bar ain't about Troy... :mindblown:

I understand that, but dude has a 5 mic album, yet take away his Pete Rock produced stuff and he has absolutely no legacy.

More legendary lyrics

I hear it callin never stallin hit the skinz bed or shelter
Love to tap her on the shoulder, roll her over, then I belt her
Leave a bite when the joint is tight, lovely when it's loose
Produce the proper juice, plus I never hump a deuce
Give me the head on the waterbed, play you like a Pro Ked
Slide the flavors on the sled, listen to what he said
Come and lie on the bearskin, notice how the firm make him grin
Cover the checks and then I go cash em in
Hold the zipper, unlock, and grab the whole bag of treats
Hear the hooker slam the butcher with the biggest stack of meats
Take two hands to hold it, flip it out and unroll it
If you spot a brother larger then the next man stole it
Oochie coo now, you know the Mecca wanna bang bang
Beggin a pardon as I knock a new skinz stank thang
CL, kickin flavor with the Grand Puba
Speakin on the wins, I'm about to hit the skinz

:what:

He was the master of saying alot without saying anything. Talib Kweli Sr. Just stringing words together without any wit, charisma or cohesion

Like that, we for real
Comin' atcha in '92
Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Yeah, c'mon, hit me

I reminisce so you never forget this
The days of wayback, so many bear witness the fitness
Take the first letter out of each word in this joint
Listen close as I prove my point

T to the R O Y, how did you and I meet?
In front of Big Lou's fighting in the street
But only you saw what took many time to see
I dedicate this to you for believing in me

Rain or shine, yes, in any weather
My grandmom Pam holds the family together
My Uncle Doc's the greatest, better yet the latest
If we're talking about a car, Uncle Sterling got the latest

I strive to be live 'cause I got no choice
And run my own business like my Aunt Joyce
So Pete Rock hit me, 'nuff respect due
When they reminisce over you, listen

these lyrics literally have nothing to do with the other bars. Its supposed to be a tribute song, what the fukk is he talking bout?


He's talking about his childhood. Growing up in MT Vernon:dwillhuh:
