i was a big DAS fan... cuz those cats was sick with the pen.

this was probably never more evident than on "hard like a criminal"

the writing/story of that song to me is the pinnacle of a hip hop narrative. definitely the pinnacle done by a duo.

beautifully, written executed and rather poignant to boot.

the irony and destruction of being a victim in the hood

probably didn't hurt that it WASNT included on the retail album.

also funny that they censored jew, chink etc but not nigger

classic joint!

das at their illest story telling selves

Love it but always hated how some of the words are edited which was my only complaint with the Dead Serious album. Anybody know the editing process Hit Squad was using back then? Outside of Redman of course.

I agree that this is top notch story telling. Never understood people who said Das were a gimmick. They rapped their asses off.
