1997 I was 13 an I had a killa priest mix tap from nyc, an it only had 30 seconds of this track I was so mad as a little kid b/c I could only hear a small part of this song an back then we didn’t have RU-vid google Shazam’s or an type of way to hear music you didn’t know the titles too ....... I can rest easy finally being able to hear this fire track an everyone’s verse Wu 4 life
2up2down703 that's because music if this era had the full package you knew u just got some vital knowledge now it's time to vibe off the beat and rewind if you had to. 89-05 and coming back
It's literally just a loop of an old school sample. Nothing added. No kick. No hi hat. No snare. No bassline. I'd hardly call it a beat. No one produced this but O.V. Wright's band. Fire song though
One of the realest and most meaningful songs of all time in any genre from the greatest hip hop group of all time and possibly the greatest group period
Listening to this track I start off wondering how sick it would have been if Killah Priest had made the Wu, but then in comes the Masta and I remember why there was no space...
Funny because the story is that Killah Priest fell asleep in the studio and Masta Killa took the opportunity to spit his verse in Da Mystery of Chessboxin
This best !!! Plus that killah priest voice to start it off . I wish he would put a higher gear in the studio version although I understand he sounds more raw on the live because it's live
This compilation was done after Eazy -E passed away from AIDS. This was definitely a good way to spread awareness about AIDS getting the biggest rappers of the mid 90's to put the word out.
I know this dope-fiend cat, word up, his name is Javier Part-time shooter sharing needles in the stairs Wise guys disguised as a fly guy you gettin high right? Weeded up with red shit in your right eye. "Not Harvey Yeah lol"
Compilation album A.I.D.S America Is Dying Slowly. Came out mid 90's(96 I believe) about the AIDS crisis. Not all the songs on there are about it, but the majority are. Other joints to check out, De La Soul(The Hustle), Mobb Deep(Street Life), Coolio (Breaks 'Em Off). Nice compilation.
