the world wasn’t ready for this when it dropped. most people thought DU was done at this point, and commercially they were. but this record was insane. the beat, the rhymes, chorus. just a great, slept on, song that sounded like nothing they’d done before.
essentially the same song as the one posted below. but this one features mac! and mo b. dick!
equally as dope, though.
“my weed habit is so close to snortin’ powder”
Silkk is a human punching bag in 2012, but this song was dope and insightful. Oh and Fiend was way better in ‘98.
And as it stands, Charge It 2 Da Game is one of the best No Limit albums.

Do or Die - Mike Da Poet - Johnny P and Mil Ticket rock Fox News in the morning while everybody is drinking there coffee, this was one of the most important live performances in the history of hip hop, because the masses got 2 witness this show while having breakfast, the media world met the hip hop world that morning, and it was a great turnout. watch the performance for yourself, all the guys did great, being put on the spot in front of millions of viewers live. This is Chicago hip hop in the raw, By some real Chicago hip hop legends.

Working At Death Row Records - The Reality, Crazier Than The Myth
While the writing isn’t great, it’s still an entertaining read. My lifelong fascination with Death Row continues…
Danny Boy - “Steppin” (Death Row, 1996) [Produced by DJ Quik]
Unfortunately, Danny Boy’s Death Row debut didn’t actually drop in 1996. It did, however, see the light of day in 2010 when WIDEawake - who purchased the Death Row catalog in 2009 - quietly released it (the label has since released shelved albums from other Death Row alums the LBC Crew and Sam Sneed).
While it sounds somewhat dated now, I imagine it would’ve been pretty big had it actually dropped in the fall of ‘96 as planned. Almost entirely produced by DJ Quik and Devante Swing, it would’ve meshed nicely with the popular R&B acts of the time (Jodeci, Ginuwine, etc).
Plus, Danny was making stepping anthems close to 10 years before the pied piper Robert Kelly came along and took all of the credit for it. And he was only 17.
rare.
