    Defari- Say It Twice
    any Erule joint
    Above the Laws 2nd album

  • on the Erule tracks....i can still rock listen up like it was 1995; plus that other slow, smooth track that samples the cut from the rocky sndtrk

    ---Raw Fusion-throw your hands in the air (maybe it wasnt all that slept on, but i cant really remember anyone else with this album but me)

    ---Askari X-Ward of the state---this cat was on some racist shit now that i think about it; back then, we just thought he was on some pro-black militant steez---ala coup and paris---'hide tonite' is just plain ignorant........

    Vocally Pimpin'.

    Did the West Coast "overlook" their output?

    I can see w/out the Dre & Yella production credits it not gettin the same "hype". But I remember them having many videos during their run.

    Never knew about this until RAJs mix put me on: "West Oak Lane Jam" - Klassy K

    West Oak Lane is in Philly which is on the east coast.

    and I still think this is slept on relative to its dopeness:



    can anyone explain how it featured at least two maybe three[/b] of the beats the appeared on Biggie's debut LP the following year?

    seriously my young mind had many an anti-East-Coast Archaic-like conspiracy theory about this back in the day.

    now I just chalk it up to general shady label maneuverings, promo leaks and double dealing Puff Daddy moves.

    will we ever know the truth?
