"Man 'Distortion To Static (Freestyle Remix)' Still Goes Hard 20 Years In"


  

          

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meVH8D6KBUk

Those driving drums, the organ/keys high-whine that damn near sounded like a theremin played in the key of hip-hop, Thought boiling down that jazzy DYWM flow a bit but still wild & loose with it (as opposed to the dope-but-different robotic-rhyme-animal-style he'd perfect on the next two albums), Dice probably like 16 or so but still sounding/looking 30, Rahzel destroying the 'I'm every MC' vocal scratch.......pure, unadulterated Philadelphia-produced rap perfection.

This joint was & shall forever remain my shit.

this one, the Proceed stuff, Silent Treatment.

The Kelo mix of Silent Treatment is still a fav to this day.

I think every version of "Distortion To Static" was pretty dope.

I love how sloppy and raw dice sounds on this

That bass line was made for rappers to let off on

No diss, but I miss that elastic, care free, have fun with the rhyme Thought

Props for posting
