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

  5. Does it really? I mean, the Mac Dre & Traxamillion cuts, sure, but Dem Hoodstarz? Bone Thugz? The whole point of the Thizz music segment is to introduce people to bay area type beats, so isn't that kind of the point? Thanks for the input though.
