Fugees: How many mics #TBT

"Me without a mic is like a beat without a snare" -Lauryn Hill

Top ten best albums of all time.  20 years ago and this song...this ALBUM is still a blueprint on approaching Hip Hop or music for that matter.  Passion, creativity, lyricism, group chemistry, content, fire beats and a determination to make each track better than the last while maintaining a linear story.

"I used to be underrated
Now I take iron, makes my s*** constipated
I'm more concentrated." - Wyclef Jean

Some circles look at being a backpacker as a bad thing (I stay away from those)...  This song makes you regret it.  Head nod is automatic.  Screw face necessary.  N' if you do dance...you better be NICE.

"Too many MCs not enough Mics
Exit your show like I exit the turnpike" - Pras

There were TONS of hits on this album but this track was my personal favorite.  So on this Throwback Thursday, happy anniversary to one of the best groups ever.

"You can't get with this
Sweet like licorice,
Dangerous like syphillis, yeah." - Lauryn Hill

Damn that Ms. Hill verse was tough.  LOL.

Fabolous: Real One

“Fab got that voodoo, Fab got that voodoo, yeah, Fab got that voodoo”

Every so often I check Hip Hop blogs just to see if Fab came out with some new heat.  Punchlines, clever wordplay and beat selection keep me arguing in circles how he’s one the most under-rated.  No gimmicks, just a talented MC. 

“You might have had some but you need a real one”

Now this beat…!!!!!!  Great use of a sample from one of the best songs in Hip Hop history by a female MC -Ms. Hill!-  that can send chills with a looping croon.  The song takes me to another place.  Truthfully, I need that today.  Maybe you do too.  If you see someone in a car at a red light head nodding a lil too hard…don’t judge.  Just play this song and understand.

“She might have had some but she need a real one

And she a bad one, realest in the building

And I'm a bad boy, I Diddy bop on Biggie block”

“Nowadays, chances are that if you see me throw the match

It ain't to lose the fight, it's to walk away from a burnin' bridge”

Sometimes when you have a rough day you may fold. Shit Happens.  Most times, I’m sure you go down swinging or come out on top feeling like you’re invincible.  This is my “invincible” song right now.  If you know me, you know I’ve been a huge Royce Da 5’9 fan so don’t be surprised if you see old and new songs from him…but I digress.

“Try to cross me without fallin' off, I'm afraid not/

I'm a frayed knot like a draw string/

I'm preachin' to the congregation like I'm Peter, Popoff”/

Production by DJ Premiere makes this collaboration almost unfair. Music to any Hip Hop junkies ear that wants beats AND Lyrics.  The whole album is priceless.
