A Keystone Cops theme and sample from "Killing Zoe" kick off this epic tale of the Great Paper Chase. Then enters the chimes, horn delays and deep bass over a crunchy drum track topped with some "Goodfellas" samples; way before they were grossly overused years later. 1994 was a good year and this is one cut that stands out to me over time. Although the mix is fairly muddy the concept and lyrics still shine through. Can't wait for the Mysterio remix!
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"Cause Niggas that's deep in the game never come out the same/ Or don't emerge at all - they fall victim to the system/ And stay in repetitive ways that got em seeing lesser days" - E.N.S.
"Gotta pay the rent for my residence/ Chasing after dead presidents/ Hesitant to think twice/ Of things I gotta do to survive" - Fred Dogs
