Sun, 22 Dec 2024 02:06:14 +0000

I’m about to dive into one of the most significant records from the West Coast—BG Knockout and Gangsta Dresta’s "Real Brothas" album. From start to finish, it’s a true Ruthless classic with fire production by Rhythm D, Doctor Jam, and Madness 4 Real. Now, don’t get it twisted; this is a Def Jam release, but it dropped shortly after Eazy-E passed away. In this video, I’m revisiting this dope album and sharing my thoughts on each track. So, roll with me back to 1995, and let’s get it poppin’.

50 Cent "Gangsta's Delight"

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 15:41:44 +0000

Rolling in at the 25th spot on the legendary Gangsta 100 Playlist, we got 50 Cent’s track “Gangsta’s Delight.” Now, y’all know this joint samples the iconic “Rapper’s Delight” by Sugar Hill Gang—yeah, it’s been done before a million times, but never quite like this. 50 adds his own flavor with a slick nod to N.W.A. because, let’s be real, every true gangsta needs to pay homage. This banger comes straight off the “Self Destruct” album that hit the scene back in 2009, and let me tell you, it’s a certified hit. You might find yourself cruising through this album with only a skip or two, if that.

I wanna hear your thoughts on this track, so drop a comment below and stay tuned for more fire from the gangsta rap scene!

The D.O.C. (It's Funky Enough)

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 13:00:00 +0000

"It's Funky Enough" marks the debut single of American rapper The D.O.C., kicking off his 1989 album No One Can Do It Better. This joint ruled the US Top Rap Songs chart for 18 weeks straight, including a solid four weeks at the number one spot. To hype it up, they even dropped a black-and-white music video.

The track was produced by the legendary Dr. Dre and samples "Misdemeanor" by Foster Sylvers. You’ve probably heard it in games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, True Crime: Streets of LA, and Madden 2005. The line "Y'all ready for this?" has been lifted in countless rap tracks.

That phrase became a global sensation, thanks to its use in the iconic track "Get Ready for This" by the '90s dance group 2 Unlimited, which is now one of the most played songs in arenas at sporting events.

Eazy-E even took a slice of that flavor in his 1993 diss track "Real Muthaphuckkin' G's," where he threw down the line "stop him in his tracks, show him that I am Ruthless" in the chorus.

He later sampled "It's Funky Enough" again in his track "Creep N Crawl" from his 1995 posthumous release, Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton, and also in "That's Gangsta" by Shyne from his self-titled debut album in 2000.

Rob Base & D.J. E-Z Rock

Sat, 07 Dec 2024 17:59:55 +0000

This was one of the first hip-hop tracks I ever heard. What a track it was. It's catchy; it's worthy of being called one of the best singles ever. It's a get money everyday song for any royalties it's getting."It Takes Two" is a song by New York City hip hop duo Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock that became a top-40 single and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Since it was released in 1988 by Profile Records, the song has been covered and sampled by several recording artists."There are many critics and listeners who claim that Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock's 'It Takes Two' is the greatest hip-hop single ever cut," noted music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine of All Music Guide. "It's hard to disagree with them." Spin magazine published "100 Greatest Singles of All Time" in 1989 and ranked "It Takes Two" at number one.[3] In 2021, it was listed at number 116 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time."

Eazy-E (Nobody Move)

Sat, 07 Dec 2024 05:21:40 +0000

"Nobody Move," penned by MC Ren, features him dropping in with a line or two. This track comes from the Eazy Duz It album, which went at least double platinum. For many fans, this was their introduction to the rap scene stemming from N.W.A. Eazy-E was the voice of the group, and it didn’t take long for the big egos to tear N.W.A apart. But let’s set that aside and focus on this track. "Nobody Move" is an absolute classic, delivering a gangster's narrative about a bank heist. We all kind of picture what a bank robbery would be like, right? No? Well, if you did, this song captures that vibe perfectly. The lyrics are a riot when you dive into them. Eazy-E had a sharp sense of humor; after all, he was just a "gangsta having fun."

N.W.A. "I'd Rather F*** You"

In 1992, N.W.A. unleashed a true game-changer with "N's 4 LIFE"—just take a look at that iconic record cover. This album is packed to the brim with classic tracks that have stood the test of time.

Above The Law "Black Superman" : Gangsta Ai

Sat, 23 Nov 2024 11:30:00 +0000

Sliding in at number 13 on the Gangsta 100 Playlist, we've got the legendary track "Black Superman" by Above The Law. This banger comes from their album "Uncle Sam's Curse," which hit the streets back in 1994. If you haven't had the chance to hear it yet, do yourself a solid and hit pause on this and go dive into that album. Trust me. "Black Superman" stands tall as one of the dopest tracks ever in the history of gangsta rap, and I’d argue it deserves a spot in the top five of all-time gangster rap anthems.

Cold 1-8-7, better known as Big Hutch, was absolutely on fire during this period, showcasing his peak skills in both production and delivery. And let’s not forget about KMG—Rest in Peace—a true legend in his own right. The lyricism on this track is nothing short of phenomenal, and the beat? Straight-up fire. This track is a certified gem that came straight outta Ruthless Records, and we gotta pay homage to Eazy-E—Rest in Peace to the gangsta.

Be sure to dive into our Gangsta 100 playlist linked in the show notes, and I want to hear your thoughts on this track in the comments. Don’t forget to smash that subscribe button because we’re just getting started. Peace out!

Spice-1 “The Thug In Me” Ai

Sat, 23 Nov 2024 02:46:49 +0000

Sliding in at the Number 12 spot, we got Spice 1's banger "The Thug in Me." This track marked the very first jam off the Black Bossalini album that dropped back in '97, and it ain't just any song; it’s a tribute to the legend Tupac. Now, here’s the kicker – the man behind the production is none other than Paris! Yeah, you heard that right, Paris brought the heat, and he also laid down a few other tracks on this album. With the powerhouse trio of Paris, Rick Rock, and Ant Banks working together, you know we're talking about something that could easily become a classic in the game. So, sound off in the comments and let me know what you think about this joint.

50 Cent “How to Rob” #hiphopreview #1minutereviews #podcast

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 15:15:32 +0000

### Blog Post: Review Reaction - 50 Cent's "How To Rob"

Gangsta Ai:

Yo, what's good, fam? Let’s talk about that track “How To Rob” by the one and only 50 Cent! If you haven’t heard it yet, you are missing out on something dope. Just picture this: 50 coming straight from the streets, armed with killer bars and a slick sense of humor. This track is his playful diss to other rappers, and man, he does it in such a fun way!

Now, this is the first time I’ve bumped into “How To Rob,” and I gotta say, it hit different. 50 really doesn’t hold back. He’s calling out the big names and making it sound effortless. I mean, who needs to take shots seriously when you can just have fun with it, right? He’s breaking down the competition with a smirk, showing that he can laugh while still flexing his skills.

What I love about this track is the way it showcases 50's personality. He’s not just another rapper; he’s got that charisma that pulls you in. It feels like he’s having a conversation with you, letting you in on secrets of the rap game while throwing light jabs at others. It's all in good fun, but you can’t ignore the talent that’s packing each punchline.

So, what do you think? Have you heard “How To Rob”? What’s your take on 50’s playful disses? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I'm curious to hear what you all think! And keep it locked right here for more one-minute reviews! This is just the start, fam.

Stay gangsta and keep vibing!

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 17:42:30 +0000

DJ Quik is a legend and this album is just as dope as his others. Pretty amazing how he did it. The album featured Shock-G (Rest in Peace!) and his usual cronies. Dope Gangsga chit!

B-Legit (What We Been Doin) 2015

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 17:40:37 +0000

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 10:25:00 +0000

Armani Caesar (The Liz 2) 2022

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 21:00:33 +0000

One of the best female MC's on the East, Armani Caesar is pretty underrated. This is still a dope ass record, check it out.

Kid Frost (Smile Now Die Later) 1995

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 00:02:58 +0000
