    Criticizing this song for being soft is really strange to me. Of course, it's soft--it's a barbeque-jam, reminiscing song. If anybody doesn't like it, fine, I don't really care, but to criticize it for being exactly what it's supposed to be doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

    As far as I can tell, Faux's criticism that it's "rap music for people who don't like rap music" is based more on the fact that it was popular amongst becky's than it has to do with the actual sound of the music.

    My biggest beef with this song is that dude was all of 18 years old talking about "the good ol' days". It also sort of kicked off a wack trend of nostalgia rap. That said...uh...I like the song.

    it's odd that you just connected with this song two years ago. it's a pretty old joint.

    I don't mean to be an asshole, but is a member of the People Under the Stairs criticizing Ahmad and Anotha Level for being suburb rap?

    Hm.

    I don't know if it was really "Beckys" listening to this song, but I do know it was huge when I lived in the bay.

    Speak not of what you know not E. I said nothing about the suburbs I said Baldwin Hills and if you don't know what I'm talking about it isn't intended for you.

    Also, duly noted that because we don't rap about shooting people or slangin' that somehow we have mystically become suburb rap.

    You're right. I didn't know a damn thing abuot Baldwin Hills, but now I do... but I'm still not quite sure what your reference is supposed to communicate about Ahmad and Anotha Level. Apparently, it's "not intended for me," but I'm still curious.

    Well there you have it. I'm obviously outmatched in this battle of wit. And I have a very high IQ - oh, the ironing of it!

    no, but this song was already mentioned by an astute hip-hop scholar further up in the thread. read-up on your read-ups.

    it's called "Come Widdit."
