"I'm black like Menace and I'm g like Slimm / I'm Sporty like T and I'm smooth like Tim"
Tim Smooth was sort of like the Big Daddy Kane of New Orleans hip-hop: in the early days of the NOLA hip-hop scene, in the late 80s and early 90s, he set a new bar for lyricism, wordplay and flow. "I Gotsta Have It" is an absolute all-time classic, but everything up through his last album in 2004 was good. could brag about being the shit and take down any one in a battle, but could do socially-conscious stuff just as well when he felt it.
