This is a song with a hook that's worthy of the Big Tymers which was uploaded to the 'net in the summer of 2010 to complete apathy, and then re-sent out in early 2012 after the success of UP! and Function where it became a cult favourite and a Rap radio staple in the Bay. So it's still She Ready 4 life for the foreseeable future. I ain't wanna write them off entirely since the 100 Grand remix is probably my favourite single out of the Bay so far this year (sorry, Thomas!), although part of me secretly wishes it was Juvenile's answer to R.I.P with a cameo from the reinvigorated Wayne rather than Juve' being invited for a ride in the Ratchet-mobile by that scene's artists who Drake & Wayne swaggerjacked for The Motto. The whole appeal of this crew for me was their knack of making what they do seem effortless, but all the new songs on this 'tape sound like they're straining harder than him from Cypress Hill before falling flat on their arses into the dreaded bog which contains all the Taylor Gang weed-carrier posse cuts from Wiz's mixtapes.Ĭonsidering IamSu!'s KILT 2 was equally rubbish for much the same reasons, that's two duds in a row from this camp now. Remember those scientists Cam'Ron hired to invent him a new colour? Right now they must be up in the lab rewriting the laws of physics to explain why She Ready is an octillion light years ahead of everything else on this HBK Gang mixtape even though it first hit the 'net three years ago. So what's the most emblematic symbol of America's failure as a nation in 2013 then: A$AP Ferg blowing up IRL and getting favourable reviews from Jon Caramanica in the New York Times? The Wavery's very sinister practice of recruiting naive white teenage ironic YouTube Rappers like Kitty Pryde & Yung Lean and then encouraging them to drop n-bombs in their music? Or the forthcoming novelisation of Mac Lethal's "lol blk ppl" Texts From Bennett Tumblr site? That Chazmaniia saltine who just bodied Lil' Reese on record The whigga in the wheelchair from Da Southern Boyz Here's 12 Rappers who obliterate his whole career of being a tone-deaf special needs kid during Regional Rap Music 1994 - 2012 week on the X-Factor : Never forget A$AP Ferg constantly references DJ Screw and Houston Rap culture when he doesn't know who Z-Ro is. Grand Wizard Theodore & The Fantastic Romantic 5 - Can I Get A Soul Clap (1981)Īll youz 90's Boom-Bap clods who still spout on about listening to "real Hip Hop" rather than "Rap music" should go Michael Hutchence yourselves with the straps of your Jansports because you've got history on back-to-front: the words Rap or Rappin' appear in the titles of around 50% of all old-school songs released between 19, while the term Hip Hop didn't even come into contention until after New York street culture had been neatly wrapped up into a presentable package by the likes of Malcolm McLaren, Charlie Ahearn, and Tony Silver & Henry Chalfont.

One song per artist, although I've semi-cheated by including both Love Rap and New Rap Language on the technicality that the latter is a Treacherous 3 song with Spoonie Gee even though the label of the 12" suggests vice versa :Ģ. Apropos of D.M.C appearing in that corny Adidas advert recently, here's a totally incontestable list of my favourite pre- Sucker M.C.'s Rap songs.
