Big Up To Myself (8-Track Remastered)


Lighters. Smoke. Action! J.O.B. crafted this egotistic posse cut back in 1995 even though T-Booth says it is the "9-4, niggaz!". Echoing horns and uptempo drum track mixed with a deeply filtered bass allow the four emcees to showcase their rhyme skills. D-Train was on the original but for some reason his verse got lost in the hot sauce.

However, on this version T-Booth and J.O.B. recite his lyrics. Besides hearing the blowing of weed smoke into the microphone in between the off the wall verses you can hear a tri-corder. To round out the song we can hear all the emcees clowning on each other in a pure moment of them having fun making some good hip hop music.

NOTABLE QUOTES:
"It takes more to make my jaw hang/ Drop my drawers and bang - they bite but they don't stang" - Claw

"I have many rhymes and a versatile style/ But I bet you busta asses haven't heard me in a while" - T-Booth

"To make mad niggas catch mad red when I flow/ Your ears bleed from the souls of my vocals" - D-Train (as recited by T-Booth and J.O.B.)

"In your town - close your doors/ We coming for your momma's drawers!" - Moosie Moe
