Thizz Music second quarter

For those who've just joined us, I am contuining the 4 part segment known as Thizz Music. Here is the first, if you happen to have missed it. Not really going to write a whole lot about these songs, just enough to give you a really vague idea. For best results, play this loudly with a good system, preferably under the influence.

Dem HoodStarz ft Mike Marshall & E-A-Ski- How We Do

Even though it is played out as hell these days, I used to love this kind of production. This is some serious dread-shaking, go dumb shit. One of the best Hyphy anthems ever, in my opinion. I always went crazy whenever this would play.

Too Short ft Mistah F.A.B & Traxamillion- Sideshow

Too $hort, of course, has been rapping since the 1980s, and has more than earned his stripes as a rap veteran. Back when Hyphy started its resurgence, he lent a lot of cachet to the young movement, and collaborated on a lot of tracks. Besides inventing the word "biatch", he also got The Pack started off by getting them a record deal. This is one of my favorite hyphy songs from 2006, a bass heavy ode to sideshows, which is an illegal gathering of cars, where people ghostride the whip or do donuts, I suppose. Either way, a dope beat that you should download asap.

Bone-Thugz-N-Harmony- Extacy

In compiling this list, this was one of the ones that I could just not leave out. We bumped this shit often, back in the day.

Mac Dre- Get Stupid

For those not in the know, Mac Dre was the godfather of Hyphy, the Patron Saint of thizzing, and one hell of a great rapper. He never really got enough props outside of the Bay, perhaps due to his unique & wacky style. He rhymed about drugs almost constantly, but also had a lot of respect on the streets. He once went to jail for robbing a bank, and his gang, the Romper Room, was profiled on American Gangster. Mac Dre is responsible for pioneering almost all of the hyphy slang and swagger. He had a lot of lyrical talent and clever punchlines, which shone through his bizarre raps. R.I.P
