12752144, "cause a squid is just a punk" = shortest feature/career in hip hop?
Posted by PoppaGeorge, Sun Mar-15-15 01:15 PM
So I was listening to one of my favorite De La Soul joints "Breakadawn" just now and towards the end the line "cause a squid is just a punk" was spit by some chick and it dawned on me that, for over 20 years of listening to this joint, I never knew who's voice that was...

I swear I remember a version of the video where she was actually seen bouncing around and got to mutter her half a bar on camera. I haven't been able to find anything on her nor have I been able to find the version of the video with her in it.

Her name is not anywhere on anything...

... Who the fuck was that?

12752270, She was all over Buhloone Mind State
Posted by atruhead, Sun Mar-15-15 07:46 PM
but yeah Posdnuos was like in unrequited love with her and possessive, so he had a problem with Phife dating her and that was the extent of her Native Tongues connection

not being a Chatty Patty (c) Charlemagne this was said multiple times including when I interviewed her in 2007

12752312, Buhloone Mind State is that De La Album I listen to only....
Posted by PoppaGeorge, Sun Mar-15-15 09:20 PM
a handful of tracks.

I have it in storage, but haven't really listened to it from start to finish since I copped back in 93. I vaguely remember her on other tracks and since Ego Trippin' was just posted above I'm having an "oooooh yeaaaaaaah" moment.

Might need to go ahead and dust it off.

I NEVER knew about this...wow

I wondered why she wasn't on Stakes is High after Bulhoone Mind State, or at least had some other tracks drop between that time.

that's probably where a lot of the emo "Native Tongues is a wrap" lyrics on Buhloone Mind State stemmed from
12752289, Wasn't she a cousin of Pos?

She did a track with Jeru, never heard anything else, and I thought she was sick.

To this day I rack my brain trying to decipher the meaning of that line.
12752346, I heard once she made an appearance on another De La album
Posted by mrhood75, Mon Mar-16-15 12:00 AM
Someone told me that Shortie No Mas was also Indeed on "Set the Mood" on the first Art Official Intelligence album. I have no idea if that's true or not. But I hope it is.
12753651, Naah, that wasn't her.

Although now that I think about it, he probably did more in this appearance than Shay did in his entire NERD Discography
12752982, I still think of him every time I see a Harley

Posted by dafriquan, Mon Mar-16-15 02:01 PM
don't get me wrong he had had songs since then.
but if a tree falls and nobody's around to hear it....

his one verse was so incredible that i didn't want to hear anything else that took away from the myth.

i think guilty simpson was better for me when all he had was that one song on jaylib. glad he extended that into a record deal and a decent career but my interest in him peaked early.

I guess he was a little out there, hopefully someone links it up.

12754076, might have been in the celeb stories post? I remember it too
Posted by KosherSam, Tue Mar-17-15 12:41 PM
I think it was basically that MARS kept hitting them up to go on their tours so that they could do Clones together.
12754139, Given his posting history in the Lesson, I don't doubt that
Posted by mrhood75, Tue Mar-17-15 01:08 PM
12753065, I still have a hard time believing people think she's nice on the mic
Posted by micMajestic, Mon Mar-16-15 03:00 PM
She's really cute. That's the only reason why people know who she is, or remember her.

Let my love slide in and never slip out
12753652, I agree.
Posted by Mageddon, Tue Mar-17-15 09:27 AM
Even her verse on the In The Woods was...ehhh.

12753804, I liked her voice... but she wasn't nice with it.
