Chopped up Eazy E sample is a good look.
the sample makes this shit, kind of shocked no one has used it before. If you’re looking for the mp3 peep
Kafani – Trunk Full Of Ammo
It’s not bad, real short. It’s definitely not another Fast Like A Nascar but I still check for Kafani

Mac Miller – Knock Knock
Sorry homie but this has so many cringe worthy lines. The rapping is pretty terrible
So there was a hip hop meme earlier. I’m always late.
There’s a billion things I could post that I like, but I decided to post a song/video that means something to me personally. It’s a song called “California Livin’” by Mac Dre from Vallejo, CA. It’s from 1990 if I remember correctly. Maybe 1991. He was young and just getting popular locally.
Some of you might possibly have heard of him because he actually built a pretty big cult following later in his career (from the late 90s through the early 00s) doing more party/drug induced music on the Thizz Entertainment label. During that time period he was like a hero here in the Bay Area and his popularity was rapidly spreading in different parts of the US.
Anyway, this song was one of the first I ever heard from him and it made me a huge fan.
Fast forward a few years and I’m working in the hip hop industry here in the Bay Area and I got to interview Dre over the phone while he was locked up in Lompoc Federal Penitentiary. I still remember that. I still have a letter that he sent me from there.
Fast forward another few years and I get to interview him again, this time in person, a week or so after his release. I remember sitting in his brand new Chevy Impala that he just got and listening to rough mixes of the new music he had already recorded since getting out.
Over the years he became a star out here and we kept in touch and we’d see each other at random music events in the area. He was a good dude. Smart and talented as well.
He was a friend.
He was in van traveling on the freeway that was sprayed with gunfire on November 1, 2004 while in Kansas City, MO. He died from the gunfire and it literally devastated the hip hop community out here in the Bay Area.
As sad as I get thinking about it, hearing this song and seeing the video always makes me happy.
Hands down one of my favorite opening tracks on any record. The way Pimp starts that “It all started with a pimp c bitch so what the fuck is up” is so perfectly aggressive, not to mention the way he busts off “pop pop.” Then he does his chorus dropping bitch right after is one of my favorite things. Always got to throw in just one more threat.
While Pimp really shines on this Bun is dope too. Bun repeating of lines is fun to sing along to but the verse really kicks off for me with the BUCK BUCK. Who doesn’t love to yell “motherfuckers sporting bulletproof vest”
This track is so punk rock compared to the rest of the record, it’s at least 2 minutes shorter than any other song on the album. The contrast is more prevalent when track 2 kicks in. Yeah It’s Suppose to Bubble is dope but that joint is so ridiculously smoothed out compared to Return. The only track that really can fuck with the energy and style of Return is Three Sixteens but that’s more than twice as long as Return. The beauty of Return is that it gets right to the fucking point of showcasing the talents of Bun and Pimp. As much as I like hearing DMD getting some straight up aggro rap from the two legends is all I need.
The original reason I probably like return though is because it didn’t take long to rewind the tape to hear the track again.
so on twitter I just said this dude sucks, and then I clicked on the link to this video. It’s actually not that bad. I don’t know about this kid though because I downloaded whatever mixtape he circled a few months back and that shit was so fucking cornball softhands I ended up deleting it and I don’t delete music often. It was around the time I downloaded some terribly boring Sean Faylon mixtape.
whatever the point is maybe this kid will get better. I’m down for second chances I guess.
TONIGHT
I may or may not be at this tonight. Seeing as how I can’t drink and I’m on call my motivation for leaving the house is not high
got an argument at work? just sing them this song to get your point across
