![Kool G Rap - For Hire [compilation]
Over 25 years in Hip Hop and I can’t recall a lackluster GRap verse. I mean have you ever heard a guest verse from G and was left thinking “That was weak” or “he could have went harder than that”. So I thought I compile a brief compilation of notable guest verses from Giancana Rap.

Brief Impression and Observation of the mythical J Dilla beat tape(s)
mythical |ˈmiθikəl|
adjective
occurring in or characteristic of myths or folk tales : one of Denmark’s greatest mythical heroes.
• idealized, esp. with reference to the past : a mythical age of contentment and social order.
• fictitious : a mythical customer whose name appears in brochures
About 300 tracks, mostly unreleased and unfinished beats Dilla worked on. The signature Dilla drums is the constant, what I find most interesting about the beat-tapes is the variety of genres that he sampled. Soul, Funk, Rock, Pop, Gospel, Jazz, Electronic, Folk, Indian music, you name it. Broad exploration of genres, a lot of which was done in 2004-2005. Dilla was a heavily imitated producer so apparently he’d switch it up to combat biting, often switching it also when he felt he conquered a sound. For producers it takes many years to develop a unique style, this guy seemed to be able to change it up with the seasons.
Ha!
Imagine that
Player Hating: A Love Story follows Half-a-Mill and his Brooklyn crew, The Godfia Criminals, as they struggle to launch Milion, in an effort to attain money, success and recognition through music. Player Hating delves intimately into the lives of young “thugs”, and takes the viewer into an underground world of poverty, alienation, gangs, violence and music that most audience members have an inkling of, but few rarely see—unless they’ve lived it.
I need to see this
Papoose x Nas - Across The Tracks (2006)
The much maligned (perhaps deservedly so) Papoose had a considerable buzz once ago. Back in 2005-2006, through a shit-ton series mixtapes the self proclaimed “1.5 Million Dollar Man” generated a bidding war from major labels (at least that’s what DJ Kay Slay portrayed during Thursday night ‘drama hour’). Whether If there was one or not Pap definitely had some hype around him, maybe Nas fell for it or Kay Slay called in a favor. NaS donated some bars which I’m not sure is a full sixteen (I’m terrible at counting bars) to “Across The Tracks”, I won’t go on and on waxing poetic about Esco verse, its NaS but will point out Shamele left his struggle punchlines at the door.
I won’t go as far as to say It’s Pap best verse b/c quite honestly I fell into the Papoose hype machine and thought IN THOSE DAYS that 90% of what he did was amazing but it’s my favorite. I’ve only recently revisited some of the music I thought was incredible and shutter at what was possessing me and confusing my ears.
Anyway this song still sounds fresh 6 yrs later.
MF DOOM - “Dead Bent”, from his debut album Operation: Doomsday. So low budget that I doubt it any money was spent, not Guerrilla style for there is no ad or political statement being made; only a black man in a mask rapping to him self as he scatters off with unpaid groceries.
