2675116, Mobb Deep "Backwards" appreciation
Posted by Dstl1, Mon Mar-19-12 06:59 AM
Producer: Alchemist

Man, this is in my top 5 Mobb songs and it wasn't even on one of their main albums. I found this joint by pure accident. I literally stumbled upon the Free Agents joint. Easily my favorite Alchemist produced song. I used to trip off little slick shit he did at the 3:07 mark. It prolly was nothing, but I thought it was dope...especially since I know nothing about that kind of shit. Also, this was vintage P on this one. Dude got real suspect lyrically on their later stuff, but he was gettin it in on this whole mixtape.

but that could have something to do with the fact that I laid something down over this beat back in my rapping days.
After I got over myself I came to the conclusion that P's verse and the chorus are fire.
2675145, this came up as related, i had to post it here

looks like P had a some input in the making of that beat..crazy



side note, i wonder how many rappers/musicians have tapes like these just sitting around?
2675153, Nothing positive could have possibly been achieved after this studio
