French Montana - New York Minute Remix

This dude French (OWWWWW) went back and grabbed dudes from the 90s to rock on his jam. Where the hell did they get Mic Geronimo? I saw dude on the 3 train one time and wanted to say what's up because in high school I was a fan. However I remained quiet because he looked like he wanted to be left alone. Hell you would too if your producer and understudy went on the become MAJOR in the rap game and you fell off HARD! He's not bad on this joint though.

My man Lil Cease is on the record (check the solo album that you slept on). And last but not least my man Noreaga (NORE). Nore came hard on this joint (pause). Maybe his new solo will have some legs. Makes me shake my head to see the state of New York hip hop.

Remember the 90s? Pt.1


Lately I've been rocking 90's hip hop albums to get me through the day. This morning I threw on the second Onyx album "All We Got Iz Us". This was the album to show some growth from the members Fredro Starr, Sonsee and Sticky Fingers (RIP Big DS). I still remember the feeling I had when this album originally dropped. I was in high school and dark production would get me geeked for the most part. This album is full of dark production but listening to the lyrics now you have to laugh. The content is SOO over the top though that it's ridiculous. There's a small skit where Fredro just chants "I'll murder you" over and over again. I guess this was the time but I can't stand all of their yelling for no good reason thought the album. It's just unnecessary. This was also a time when Onyx was a priority at their label Def Jam.

The singles on this album Last Dayz, Live, and All We Got Iz Us all still rock. The production was really REALLY good on this record as a whole and the features add to the albums polish. It's just weird after listening to the Tanya Morgan Brooklynati album cut "Hardcore Gentlemen" I can't take these dudes seriously. I'm kinda embarrassed that I didn't see the faux thug position of their music at the time. *smh* However I will say this, I did play the whole album through with no skipping. Well up to the next to last song at least. I didn't want to yell at my co-workers like Sticky Fingers so I threw on Casa Bey by Mos Def.

All in all I would say give it a listen, Purse Snatchers is still as good as you remember it...if you remember it at all.
