Hey all, PCR here (again!)<\/p>\n
I’ve been in a weird music mood lately as I drive around for my job, and I’ve been falling back in to some Classic\/Old School Rap tunes, so for those of you who love it so loud your rear view mirror vibrates, here’s what I’ve been bumping lately…<\/p>\n
California Love – Dr. Dre\/Tupac.\u00a0 A quintessential\u00a0West Coast anthem.\u00a0 The lyrics from Dre feel laid back while Tupac’s verse has a sense of urgency feel to it.\u00a0 Both sides of that coin flow amazingly with the beat and the musical hook.\u00a0 “Bumpin’ and Grindin’ like a slow jam” indeed.<\/p>\n
Gangsta’s Paradise – Coolio.\u00a0 Quite possibly the most memorable thing about the movie “Dangerous Minds”.\u00a0 The haunting violins and chorus merge with the window-rattling beat as Coolio weaves his verses about being a victim of his surroundings and street upbringing. a subwoofer thumper for sure.<\/p>\n
Rockbox – Run DMC.\u00a0 An even further back classic from their debut album, it was one of the first rap songs I can remember that merged with shredding guitar tracks to create something that had as-of-yet been unheard of.<\/p>\n
Shake Ya Tailfeather – P Diddy, Nelly, Murphy Lee.\u00a0 From the Bad Boys II soundtrack, this is like a mini-recreation of “P. Diddy and the Fam”.\u00a0 Each verse is unique and fits each artist’s style while still maintaining the flow of the song.\u00a0 Still hits.<\/p>\n
ANYthing off “No One Can Do It Better” – The D.O.C.\u00a0 I can’t even begin to think of how many hours and hours and hours this CD used to play in my car on road trips back in the day.\u00a0 A car accident crushed his larynx and changed his voice, but 7 years later he regained enough of it for his second album, but the debut record for the man who co-wrote Eazy E’s solo debut remains a classic.<\/p>\n
