Love a good “well fuck you too, bitch” song.

Cause I’m up right now, and you suck right now
Oh, you thought you had it all figured out back then
Girl how ‘bout now?

A song that most of us can relate to, by the Canadian rapper Snak The Ripper of SDK (Stompdown Killaz).

He talks about himself as a working class man trying to get through his eight hour shift (sometimes longer) just so he could survive.

Good stuff.

I got my boots on, crack of dawn, pack the bong I’m out the door
My day is long, still sore from the fucking day before
Eight to four maybe more, twice the work they pay me for
Bills due, crazy poor, never been this way before

Another track off the PRhyme album on the list.

Motherfuckers can’t rhyme no more about rhyme no more
Cause I’m so raw, will I win?
Ain’t an if, it’s a when

The production value is through the roof.
I love the Biggie quote

Kick in the door waving the .44

Album of the year right there.

People that don’t understand K-Dot can talk shit all they want, but this song was great.

Makes me feel better when I’m down.

I went to war last night
With an automatic weapon, don’t nobody call a medic
I'ma do it till I get it right

So hyped for this project!

Royce and Preem have a history of producing great tracks together, so this album was quite a treat.

PRhyme, PRhyme, I’m in my permanent prime
I ain’t never falling off

And I produced the track
So you don’t have to ask who it is when this shit knocks

Ho-ly shit. Em went in, hard. Royce killed it too. Not much left to say.

Love the way Iggy got all upset over getting a mention.

Great song.

Track Of The Year – for me, at least. Not a huge fan of Q, but this track was killer.

Royce and Eminem’s verses were shot at a familiar location – a parking lot featured in a few scenes in the 8 Mile movie

Michigan Building, Bagley Street, Detroit
