Top Hip-Hop Singles #117

Dilated Peoples featuring Kanye West- This Way

Top 75, dope upbeat single. One of my favorites from Dilated Peoples.

Putting my hater shades on now.

Neither..dope song.

NO

Which album is this off of? I just recieved "The Platform" and "Expansion Team" in the mail. I'm at school right now so i can't look for myself.

That song was on the Neighborhood Watch album, which isn't as good as those two albums you just mentioned IMO.

As for my opinion of this song, this is my 2nd fav Dilated People's song behind Worst Comes To Worst, but neither of them make my list.

Yeah Worst Comes To Worst is also a fav of mine. Both are neither though.

Great Track, I'll give it top 100.

"Neighborhood Watch" is a dope album, probably my favorite from them. Lots of bangers on there- Tryin' To Breathe, Neighborhood Watch, Marathon, Poisonous, World on Wheels, Love & War, This Way are all standouts to me. The other songs are good, none are wack.

Worst Comes To Worst is a dope song. I was going to nominate that song, but I decided This Way instead because it was a bigger hit single.

Neighborhood Watch is a dope album, but not quite as good as Expansion Team (their best IMO) or The Platform.

Expansion Team and the Platform>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Neighborhood Watch

Never heard it I don't think. I only have "The Platform" and "Expansion Team". Never bought "Neighborhood Watch" though. I'm still voting neither because Kanye is featured on the song which is pretty much an automatic neither for me.

SMH @ Pounds, Not for neithering the song, but for saying it's wack because of Kanye. I mean really. would you turn against one of your underground favs if they collabed with Kanye?

Maybe...always depends on the artist. I actually dig the song Kanye produced and rapped on from Talib's Ear Drum ("In The Mood")...a lot. But to be honest, I dug Talib's part, and Kanye's beat. You can't tell me his rapping was actually dope on that song. That part of the song is average at best because of the dope beat IMO. Therefore, Kanye is the reason that song has no chance at my top 100.

In The Mood was dope as fuck, and I liked Kanye's verse on the song "Just like Michael Richards only more blacker, so if you say bunny, Imma say cracker" LMAO!!

He's not the lyricist that Talib is of course, but he has his moments. I wouldn't put it in my Top 100 either, bu it's still a dope song though and there are a couple Kanye tracks I would put on my list. If "Get Em High" from College Dropout were a single (the one with Talib & Common) that would make my list easily, and Kanye more than held his own on that one as well.

"In The Mood was dope as fuck, and I liked Kanye's verse on the song "Just like Michael Richards only more blacker, so if you say bunny, Imma say cracker" LMAO!!"

smh. He says "Then I'ma say, is this a Ritz, Carlton..."

Yeah, all those lyrics were wack. And his delivery made them wacker.

Still a damn good song though, despite the wackness.

^^^^

KJ, these lyrics suck ass...how can they not?

Kanye:
You messin up my mo', my whole mood, told y'all, oh,
Lose, eat crews like crews like soulfood,
The only producer that feel like "fuck rappers!"
Only backpacker with a chip like hackers,
Only Michael Richardson, only much blacker,
So if he say bunny, then I'ma say *cracker*,
Is this the Ritz? Carlton? Dress like, fresh, like, just like..
I'm the shit (Uggh)
You ain't figured out what I'm about yet,
Always rockin that 'this ain't out yet',
But this ain't 'bout that,
From a city where bunnies plug like outlets,
Far as music go yo, it ain't no outlets, so,
When I go out, bunnies always out to get me in the studio,
And I ain't in the mood to flow,
I'm with my girl and I'm tryin to hit the movies yo,
And they tryna act stupid, oh!
In the club with Silicone Suzie,
What happened to real girls like Rudy?
With real titties like Tooty,
This girl got a silicone booty!
And got the nerve to act moody!
Now I ain't tryin to judge like Judy,
But bitch you a man, you can't fool me!
Act like Fifty, throw her in a pool G...

This song is nowhere near a top 100. and Kanye's verse is garbage.

I thought those lyrics were clever (particularly the parts about Michael Richards and Tootie) and his flow was dope.

Thank you Terry. I was beginning to wonder...

That Michael Richards line had minor potential, until he massacred every part of it with the second half of his "rhyme".

Rudy
Tooty,
booty!
moody!
Judy,
fool me!
G...

yeah, great stuff there...

hahahahahahahahahaha
