Cot damn this is horrible. This is why you need Premier in the studio at all times. Onyx really fucked New York up during this period. Guru's verse starts at the 1min 29sec mark https://youtu.be/1CUGFBrWzcI
2965998, This was... unfortunate. I rolled my eyes at the line that first time I heard it

That soundtrack was my fucking shit too. And that track was the one hip-hop blemish.

But yeah, I have no idea why Guru wanted to go for the Onyx thing with Cutthroats. I don't think I know who's even in that group.

Only thing they ever did that was any good was contribute the chorus to "Slicker Than Most." I will say that THAT album is an example of Guru being album to do all right on his own.

2966024, Hoodatz Sneeke Muthafuckaz was another example of this

Back in 1993 you could randomly pick up any hip hop CD and 99% of the time it would be good. This album was in the 1%...

All I can say is dudes were wild, and seems like one of the members named 17 died.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!




this song was clowned incessantly for that exact line back in the days.
2966088, Guru sort of raps like LONS on this track

Corny all the same
2966106, Would have been cool if they didn't repeat it 50 times

Wasn't a terrible line at all

The delivery was terrible and the follow up all in together repeats made it worse. Had he used his typical delivery, could have been better.
2966112, So.Onxy and Freaky Tah did a song feat. Guru eh?
Posted by HIM, Thu May-19-16 12:48 PM
Nah. I'm just clowin' but...

The one dude really REALLY sounds like Sticky Fingers
One of the other dudes really REALLY sounds like Freaky Tah
As for the Guru line
"...I made it ah wack line, YALL made it a wack chant"
Yeah. I never really thought much about it back then but you are right. Terrible is very fitting here.
