I was rather indecisive on which DJ Quik song to use. In the end, I went for the more positive vibes And when it seem like things just ain't gon be right I gotta thank my creator for letting me sleep last night And waking me up in the morning because I shudder to think That that could be me dead or locked away in the clink So I'm lifting my homie's spirits as tall as the trees And I can even hear him calling me, in the summer breeze 24

Freeway was rapping about being the father of two children when he released this song. Tragically, he's now had to mourn both of their deaths We still try to keep mom smilin Cause when her teeth stop showin' And her stomach start growlin' then the heat start flowin' If you from the hood, I know you feel me If a sneak start leaning and the heat stop workin' Then my heat start working, I'ma rob me a person 23

{RAP WALL, VOLUME TWO}#34: Not my favorite Mobb Deep song (another one that I might consider for a RD someday, btw), but a great song all the same. I love how the video version removes "sprayed", by the way, so it's just "give up the goods or get"...get what? #33: Somehow did not know this was even a thing before this rankdown, and I have no idea how I didn't know that. Oh well, it rules, of course it does when Slick Rick and Warren G are involved. #32: This was originally my last place, but I re-listened to it before submitting and bumped it up. It makes me wonder how I would have treated some other songs that I ranked low, but I felt even before I re-listened to this that I was being unfair to it. This has one of the few beats on this list that I don't particularly love, and yet, Boots would not be denied. #31: Even in a rankdown full of great beats, this stood out. I'm fairly sure that I underranked this. #30: The obvious choice for highest SD, given how different this sounds compared to everything else on the list. Kind of sounds like "Pure Morning" with rapping. #29: One of Weezy's best, but the competition was just too strong. #28: Hearing this brought back a ton of memories. I had forgotten this existed. This escaping the bottom ten might finally inspire me to get off of my ass and include "I Seen a Man Die" in a RD. #27: Cincinnati, represent. #26: Yeah, I'm not totally surprised that this is the first Wu-related song out, even if I expected it to be another song. The Ol' Dirty Chinese Restaurant had such a strong presence. #25: Oh wow, I was sure this would at least make the top 20. This does not feel as long as the song length suggests, it flies by. #24: Probably the right choice to go with this, though I like the title track even more. #23: "Freeway was rapping about being the father of two children when he released this song. Tragically, he's now had to mourn both of their deaths" God damn, I did not know that. That makes this song so much more sad.

the sample for the beat, "Rescue Me" by A Taste of Honey, was later famously used by Positive K's "I Got A Man" Also, the bars I quoted below have made the rounds, first to Broken Glass for "Style of the Street", and later to The Prodigy for "Girls". And those aren't the only songs to take bits from this track... my condolences American Idiot As I thought to myself how nice it would be To be on top, making cash money To go on a tour, all around the world To tell little stories to all the fly girls 25

And here's the last of the Boot Camp Clik songs. Worth noting that in addition to being a banger in its own right, a quote from this song starts off one of my top 5 rap songs of all-time ("Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers") Bust a move, I get smooth like Roadie Kick it like the Four Horsemen, yeah you know me Booming like a speaker with my 100 dollar sneakers Baggy black jeans, knapsack, and my beeper Keep a fresh cut, never see me with a busted 'fro And I'ma let you know... 22

Being completely honest, I heard several classic rap songs first as their instrumentals in Mr Plinkett reviews lol. This was one of them Come and get it, shitted on villains by the millions I be catchin' bitches while bitches be catchin' feelings So what the fuck am I supposed to do? I pop bottles and hot hollow-points at each and all of you 20

Similar to "Ever Somber", the way this song was performing pleasantly surprised me for a while until it came back down to Earth a little my condolences, BB🌕 Lol RIP my top 2. This was really great though! I don't think Just Another Day was a proper discovery for me, as I think I had heard it before, but maybe this was the first time I had actually sat down and listened to it. Will have to listen to this full Dalek album at some point soon. Also, the sample on Down and Out is so addictive.

As good as the song is, the video is even better; one of the best mainstream hip hop videos of the 90s. Neil Cicierega made a mashup of "Love Shack"'s vocals and Psycho's main theme 8 years ago...it makes me curious what "Gimme Some More"'s acapella would sound like over "Love Shack"'s instrumental lol my condolences nathanalbright Arrest you lyrically flow and caress you Bless you, then a n---- come to your rescue While you assume a n---- blossom and bloom I'm comin' soon, hit you with a boom, gimme some room! 16
