""I play my cards shark style, kings and aces""


  

          

The cat that had the 2nd verse on camp Lo song swing

I think his name was ish or something like that
That's a cold ass line
I've always wanted to say it in a real Convo





What did it mean though?

Uptown Saturday night is one of my favorite albums though
Geechie suede was my favorite member of the group
His voice sounded great over all of those beats,

There are a lot of puzzling lines on it because it was just an odd mix of fiction, blaxploitation references and then contemporary stuff that was sometimes oddly phrased or used.

One thing I never got was their obsession with Mitsubishi cars. They talk about Diamantes and Monteros. Why?

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

you gotta realize....
people had more down to earth, realistic aspirations back then....
and it ALSO showcases just how low we were as a culture fiscally back then....it wasn't until the LATE 90's that the majority of rappers knew what being rich could REALLY be like...

Hell....a Q45 Infinity was like the creme de la creme....

I saw those dudes at the 9:30 Club back when I was in college.

Camp Lo were definitely weird. Dark skin cat had a choker on and the other one had a Jimmi Hendricks scarf on. Dudes were rocking pastels and polyester pants with no back pockets.

We talking hip hop and dude is like.. "does this color make me look fat" while doing hip hop poses in a mirror.

interview over, them niggas weird.

How he talked. He Gave off that Carl Lewis vibe
dude is my favorite member of the group
Smh. I always thought the sonny cheeba was the iffy
One from how he acted In the luchini vid

Nah.. he didn't actually ask if it made him look fat.. more like "how does this look on me"

He was all about his fashion..

I want to believe he was playing up his character but it was such a stark contrast from Jeru who opened for him.

Jeru is passing the blunt asking us "where the hoes at?" and these dudes in the next dressing room fluffing they scarves and shit.

Niggas probably walking around saying
Jive turkey and alladat mess lol
I'm surprised they didn't pull out a plate of that "toot" lol

But when I look at the game now
If they hadve been on that dress code now
They would fit right in with these new guys

Uptown Saturday is one of my favorite albums
Those beats were too tough
"Spanish Harlem" shit reminds me of
Miami then to go from that to "negro league"
Which was some Timbo and hoody shit...
The album had range
