Big L came back from some minor hits like "Put It On" to blow people out with this 12". Both sides banging with the infectious Big L flow that had become lyrically focused, spitting fire with precision. Street heat was generated. Suddenly...   expand review  Big L was making one of the most anticipated albums in years, and right in the middle of it all he was gunned down in the street. Recorded at D&D, for that "get ya meat lumped" sound, Ebonics is one of the greatest if not the greatest songs about spittin slang. L breaks down almost every word that you and your Tweety-bird embroidered denim shirt wearing boys throw at each other after watching Boyz in the Hood. "The studio is the Lab." dirty, clean and instrumental. "Size Em Up" dirty, clean, instrumental. -the mgmnt

OC
Time's Up 12"
 
Fat Beats
format: 12"

lab price: $6.00
available: yes
item #: hh-386

This is a cold classic right here, I must have bumped this in the Walkman for a straight year. The beat is that dark, ominous vintage Buckwild shit with the shy drum track and military bass anchor. The Eclipse remix(2) is nice...   expand review  too with some majestic Ahmad Jamal piano chords crashing the 1. But the real skully cap over the eyes type flavor here comes from OC's absolutely devastating lyrics. Dude just spits his heart out on some brutally honest "y'all fake ass bitches" shit. Some kid heard this at my house once and said "damn this is that shit Eminem rhymed over in 8 Mile right?" I found that ironic, so I told him to research and analyze. Not exactly an easy find on 12", plus you know the pressing on the original Word...Life album sucked shit. Includes the Buck Remix which only slightly alters the original, instrumentals for all 3, and the acapella. -Bob Bannister
