When rap was great

[NorEEzta]

Purple tape is my fav all time.

 

[NorEEzta]

Beat is insane.

 

[DragonfromTO]

it was all new to me. most quoted would be hard to whittle down, but it wasn't that.

If you want one that got a lot of airplay off the top of my head Wyclef references it at the end of "We Trying To Stay Alive". I bet it's in more songs that you know than you realize.

Taddy's chillin, Dragon's chillin
What more can I say? Top billin'

You've really never heard this refrain before?

This is what the genius page lists

"Rapped to a beat by Stetsasonic’s Daddy-O, Milk Dee’s lyrics continue to be referenced and sampled to this day.

Some examples include “Otis” by Jay-Z and Kanye West, The intro to Biggie’s Ready to Die, and “Nobody Speak” by DJ Shadow and Run the Jewels."

I edited and posted a longer list that I found.

I'm not saying I like them all, I'm just saying it's been referenced a lot.

Of course Jay Z prolly quoted it.

Purple tape reference/homage at the end of Esoteric's verse

Not too many LPs you just let play without skipping a song.

 

[NorEEzta]

The Beatles mixed with Wu. Good shit.

 

[DragonfromTO]

Yeah this was fantastic (for instance I just posted "Uh Huh" but I prefer this version). Same dude that produced the Professor Elemental song I posted earlier.

 

[moxie]

I can't believe this wasn't the first one that popped into my head. The chorus

Oooh, yeah! Method man & redman is some good shit, too

 

[NorEEzta]

This is good. Check out the whole mixtape.

There are many beautiful blends on You Tube. I find them fascinating. I rip them to mp3 and play em in the car. They almost sound like brand new songs.

 

[NorEEzta]

Oooh, yeah! Method man & redman is some good shit, too

They should've done more together.

 

[DragonfromTO]

Oooh, yeah! Method man & redman is some good shit, too

More recently "People Say" was very good too and had both of them.
