I always thought this shit was mad soft.

Was that from your gun toting days? Just curious.

I always liked the track with Ahmad, Saafir, and Ras Kass. What was it? Pitch hitter?

Well there you have it. I'm obviously outmatched in this battle of wit. And I have a very high IQ - oh, the ironing of it!

"Back in the day" is a terrible song......but what the hell do i know....i think "Humpty Dance" is a terrible song.

What's the matter? You got sand in your vagina?

no, but this song was already mentioned by an astute hip-hop scholar further up in the thread. read-up on your read-ups.

it's called "Come Widdit."

OK, so if BITD you listened to Back In The Day, you were either:
A) From LA and somehow thought this song was ok OR
B) You watched The Grind and listened to Ahmad to get in touch with your sensitive side and reminisce.

This song sux ass.

PS I have a sealed or better copy of the LP if someone is feeling

nostalgic.

1). That track= you have to be from cali to understand.

2). Nothing wrong with living in safe place, even if it is the suburbs.

3). there's a 3 page thread on fucking Ahmad? Who wants to start a 3 page thread on Mad Kap?

That's what I was thinking. I did and still do think the song is gabage tho.

 

[Young_Phonics]

Criticizing this song for being soft is really strange to me. Of course, it's soft--it's a barbeque-jam, reminiscing song. If anybody doesn't like it, fine, I don't really care, but to criticize it for being exactly what it's supposed to be doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

As far as I can tell, Faux's criticism that it's "rap music for people who don't like rap music" is based more on the fact that it was popular amongst becky's than it has to do with the actual sound of the music.

-e

When was Back in the Day ever popular with Becky's though?
Yes.

WB Moesha Rap.

File with Anotha Level.

What's that you say about BAldwin Hills?
I don't mean to be an asshole, but is a member of the People Under the Stairs criticizing Ahmad and Anotha Level for being suburb rap?

Hm.

I don't know if it was really "Beckys" listening to this song, but I do know it was huge when I lived in the bay.

-e
Speak not of what you know not E. I said nothing about the suburbs I said Baldwin Hills and if you don't know what I'm talking about it isn't intended for you.

Also, duly noted that because we don't rap about shooting people or slangin' that somehow we have mystically become suburb rap.
You're right. I didn't know a damn thing abuot Baldwin Hills, but now I do... but I'm still not quite sure what your reference is supposed to communicate about Ahmad and Anotha Level. Apparently, it's "not intended for me," but I'm still curious.

Thes:

Emynd did beats for Anticon. Just sayin'.

Yes, yes I am. The cold of NY got a man bitter.
I much prefer WC And The Maad Circle-Ain't a Damn Thang Changed or OFTB to Ahmad.

 

[HAZ]

I'm not from cali, but I always liked this track. But what do I know? I liked the Domino album! I also vaguely remember giving a copy of the 12" to Miss Bassie.
