Jay Z featuring Biggie (Brooklyn's Finest)
Some times hip hop takes you back. Listening to certain songs makes you wonder what happened or the vibe the day that a song was recorded.
One of my favorite songs off Jay Z's debut cd, Reasonable Doubt, was this duet with Biggie called Brooklyn's Finest. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall that day. I would have liked to have seen what the vibe was like in the studio the day that it was recorded.
Shoot...I would have chopped my arm off for the opportunity to rhyme along side 2 of my favorite MCs of all time.
What about you? If you had to go back in time, what hip hop song would you want to be a part of??? Why
Hollatchaboi!!!
Salt N Pepa's I'll Take Your Man...
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because it's a fun song, yet empowering (in a homewrecker kind of way).
I don't know if this counts technically, but I'd wanna be on the Mary J. Blige joint with Grand Puba...You know, "What's the 411?"...i woulda rocked that shit

My hop hop era goes back to Lauryn Hill. Is that considered old school enough?
