�Change is inevitable. Progress is optional.� � Tony Robbins

I used to see him at a local bar (Brewer's Art) over on Charles Street near Penn Station & he told me that while he was thinking about how to handle it, Kid Rock contacted him personally to cut him a check plus if I recall correctly gave him a point off the record.

Collectively, by whenever that was (I'm guessing somewhere around mid-2001 or so) he had gotten paid more off 'Bawitdaba' than he had off the rest of his recorded rap/film career.

He also repeated a similar slightly more toned-down version of the story at some Hip-Hop Summit thing they had at Towson University that I was working on for some shitty local rap fanzine whose name now escapes me.

despite never enjoying his music.

the OG version with the actual sample intact is JUST ok.

but the version that actually got released and some run is super wack in 2013.

And now that we're removed from all the controversies surrounded by it, and the fact that it was so jarring to see Nas in a shiny suit alongside Puffy...

Oh yes the fuck it does. Horirible, horrible, shrill mess of a song.

Good post. I would also add any song with "Ride or Die" as part of the title. A plethora of big name artists put out disappointing albums in 1999.

Mase - Double Up
Puffy - Forever
Notorious Big - Born Again
Foxy Brown - Chyna Doll
DMX - Flesh of My Flesh
Nas - Nastradamus
Mobb Deep - Murda Muzik (had some heat but the bootleg better)
Def Squad - El Nino (disappointing, borderline wack)

Maybe that's how Jay got so big. All of his NYC contemporaries fell off that year.

>Maybe that's how Jay got so big. All of his NYC

and we all have the bootleg so that taints it.

greater than they really were. Aside from "Spit These Bars," by themselves they didn't sound like they had much going for them.

i wouldn't play it in a club,
but it's still a good record.

>but it's still a good record.

when's the last time you actually played it?
it's terrible.
all it has is a concept. everything else is joe corn.

i mean his singles are some of the worst rap songs in the history of commercially released rap music.

sometthing like "my band" is down there with rappin' duke imo.

the worst offenders......even from that album.

i noticed this on MMLP he dropped a funny song, then dropped a dope one. he fills that pattern on each album pretty much

and "terrible" is a strong word.
jefferson starship's "we built this city" is terrible.

there are no good elements to that record.
not lyrically. not musically. not vocally. it's all terrible.

eminem has other songs that i listen to more than that one,
but it's still good.

why is there a weather update in the middle of the song?

they ask, "don't you remember that we built this city on rock and roll?"
i reply, "yes, i do. and it looks like you are trying to tear it apart brick by brick."

LOL.

�Change is inevitable. Progress is optional.� � Tony Robbins

it charted and it got a lot of run in clubs/radio in ny at the time as i remember it.

---
�Change is inevitable. Progress is optional.� � Tony Robbins

that it bricked as a single.

Now that I check wiki says it reached 91 on the Hot Singles chart, so I gues you could look at it either way.

I thought 'Oh Yeah' was a bigger hit a couple years later but apparently it wasn't, definitely a better song tho.

the radio & saw the video on BET doesn't mean people actually cared for the record. Nobody gave a shit about that record and most people I know hated the video. Somehow the "Chyna Doll" album was certified platinum without any actual hits. Pretty sketchy eh? Sounds like a Def Scam. Even if the sales were legit there's no proof (not even on an anecdotal level) that the song itself made any waves.

it went platinum because white people were buying rap albums without them having to go full pop top 40.

�Change is inevitable. Progress is optional.� � Tony Robbins

a first for a female rap artist and hot spot was the lead single. it cracked the billboard 100, which means it "charted". it was hot in the clubs and on black radio. everybody loved the beat. rahzel even chose to perform it for a promo. i personally hated the song and i remember how much love it got.

i always harp on naughty by nature or treach not getting their dues in rap history retrospect because they had too many white fans and rap media buried them.
but a song this wack getting burn cancels out a "take it to ya face" or a "dirt all by my lonely".

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

but it was still alright, compared to the rest of that fairly awful album it was on (Dirt All By My Lonely was a banger tho).

there was 3 or 4 songs that i liked from that album. but yeah, you are right in saying it's a poor man's feel me flow.

this is back when in ny we thought what was going on down south was "new" and "different" and we tolerated it.

boy how wrong we were.
big pun wouldn't be caught dead on a piece of shit like this in 2013.

...

infact big pun struggling to catch up to the tempo only makes this join wacker than it already was.
so yeah, everything about this is wack.

"jigga" - you can def drop the intro and the first hook, and it'll go off, but you're right you could not get the verse off

"guilty conscience" - probably never

"gotta man" - probably never

"you can do it" - it actually works, but not in major cities def not NY... (it went off for me in North Dakota, and somewhere in Florida)... i know, lolz.

"hate me now" - this could go off, probably for whole 1st verse too

I hated most of these songs back in '99 when they were being played to death and 14 years later...they still ain't hittin' on shit. LOL.

I can tolerate You Can Do It but the rest are pure shit IMO.

Man, that Ruff Ryders sound was awful. Nostalgia doesn't even make it sound better!

i mean that shit was inescapable
