I can't fucking sleep, so I'm listening to some tracks to make me doze off.
I'm bumping my head to Cormega's The Testament - classic disc - right now. It is one album I would actually say compliments Nas' Illmatic.
Cormega's flow and voice took me a while to get used to initially, but once I warmed up, I didn't look up back. The cat is absolutely dope when it comes to wordplay. 62 Pick Ups, is a wonderful example of his talent. Unfortunately, because youtube sucks, and because we can't share mp3s here you'll have to have to hear it somewhere else.
Because youtube is gay, I guess I could find a PART of Montana Diary with low quality sound. Sigh.

I can't even find fucking Angel Dust on youtube, and it makes no goddamn sense.
62 Pick Up:
Yo, I live the life of '62 pick-ups
Pumpin' on corners, beat downs to stick-ups
Seein' events, of which I had to stay silent
Murder, extortion, and all types of violence
Kids, livin' the life of ghetto heavens
Sellin' cracks, ready to attack with knives and mac-11's
Havin' dreams of being big bosses
Driving porsches, by the time, they get rich, they corpses
Son, it's a shame, but in this game
The strong survive, either get live or get slain
Cuz in the ghetto, respect is mandatory
Drug wars ignitin', mad fightin' for territory
My niggaz, steppin' with automatic weapons
Stick up kids, with .357's
Yo, it's violence, I know old timers move silent
But nowadays, niggaz be wildin'
Drug dealers stylin', with 5-series Beamers
It deep the way, sunny day, don't seem to reach us
Forty-five under the seat of a Lexus
Thugs rollin' with bulletproof hats and vestes
Earnin' ya props off big dime rocks
Your man shorty rock is on the block with a glock
He just got knocked, now he's out on bail
For semi automatic, and a undercover sale
Trained mercenary, with a heart that's cold
Pushin' an Acura, at 17 years old
In the passenger seat, and he's smokin' a blunt
With some shine on, any live nicca would want
Somebody wasn't up on and you know what they want
Tellin' shorty, run the jewels and don't try to front
Shorty reaches for the nine, but before he could shoot
Blood scattered in the '92 Acura coupe
Another victim of modern day stick-ups
This is the life of '62 pick-ups
Awesome.
