Album hit so hard and was def a soundtrack to Queens/NYC streets. I discovered this album in 2015 and it’s one of my favorites. A full album I can listen to from beginning to end and I could feel that essence of my childhood. And it was so refreshing for me at the time!
Snapple facts! When I bought this, I got the single on cassette to play in my Walkman.. I never even saw the album cover, just copped the single Iced on tape😅
@Rico Risken "...in broad daylight for cash? Woke up this mornin' n' heard the news flash" ...honestly, in my [not so humble opinion,] "Who shot Rudy" has gotta be one of the hardest..."grimiest" joints...ever. That shit is just too tough, man. Screwball NEVER got the props that I felt they [fuck deserved, but] EARNED...Blaq Poet is too damn legit- I hate the term, "underrated," especially when it comes to hiphop/rap conversations; but on the real, [aside from all you crab N's knowing the deal, pun definitely intended- only y'all REAL screwball fans gonna catch what I just threw out there, btw, but whatever, that's besides the point- getting back to it...] poet is legitimately an underrated cat as far as this rap shit goes... Dude is like light years beyond most other heads; and honestly, he has been for some time now. If you [somehow, some kind of way- which regardless of how, it would be beyond me] disagree, prove me wrong, if not..."SCREW-B/Q.B. /FROM HERE TO ETERNITY" ✊✊✊
Real talk, I miss my State New York, shout out to everybody that went to Wingate high School, and Erasmus Hall 🥃🥃🍺🍺. At the end of the day and night, it wasn't for New York, and the Bronx, there would be no rap or hip-hop. because at the end of the day we are the ones that orenginated this shit.🥃🍷🍾🍾🥃🥃 Cheers to everybody that still listen to real rap, and hip-hop
no wonder it is in AND1 mixed tape if I remember correctly,....that shit made hood courts go into flames...if we there was statistics like today,the number of worlds hoopers increased like 1000 folds at that time....crazyyy times man
I still have this song "Iced Down Medallion" and the album "Ghetto Millionaire" on the original clear cassette tape released in 1997 from Blunt Recordings. The sample that you hear in the background is from Gwen McCrae and the song is called "I Got Nothing To Lose But The Blues".
This is why Nas is my #1 P4P of all time. He was the king during an era when every rapper - under ground or commercial - was spitting that raw shit. Royal Flush remains one of the best to ever present us that real New York live nigga rap and this shit is forever.
One of my fave beats and song to bump on a ride when you cruising , I came back home in 97 and this Joint was bananas in the street , especially in jaimaica , queens where I’m from . I went to go but the single and the instrumentals , i sent it out to my brothers up in Colombia where they actually performed with the beat !!! Is 2021 and still bumping this joint !!
Still remember the first time my homie smokie from Newark played this album, we got blunted and listened to it about 3 times in a row, went and copped the tape the next day..96'
Damn back in 97 i had this shit on my clue tape senior year in Lincoln high school jersey city lol had to throw that in there. Royal and this beat went hard as hell still blast in my whip today.
I've seen RF around a few times in queens before but never spoke to him. Maybe bout a month ago, i finally said whats up & spoke to him for a quick sec. Cool azz dude for real.
Fuckin love this shit i luv this dude met this nigga in the Muse many years ago cool ass nigguh.One love God bless!This was the illest time in hip hop between 86-96 Biggie Smalls ,Pac Wu tang, Nas ,Onyx Blak Moon Krs-one Blah say Keith Murray Redman every once in a while in the 2000s someone will slip thru the cracs but not often The Lox ,Dmx,50 Maino i used to sing this shit to my daughter all the time believe it or not when she was two shes 14 now.
