Eightball & MJG - Candy
Got damn MJG went the fuck off on this. His flow was perfect for this beat. Matching the first three words of every bar to the first 3 notes in the bassline was brilliant.

Southern Legends-E.S.G.
Video-Swangin’ & Bangin’
One of the fist rappers to popularize the screw movement was E.S.G.(Everyday Street Gangsta). He was a bonafine star in Texas right alongside UGK, Scarface, Lil’ Keke, & Fat Pat. He released classic albums Ocean of Funk, Sailin’ Da South, in 1994 and 1995 respectively. However, he was sentence to prison in 1995, after which his career declined. He also, wrote Lil’ Troy’s hit “Wanna Be A Baller”, which he claims he never recieved credit for.

The Dopest Beat Of All-Time: Cooly C & Playa G - In Decatur
This is one of those songs that I can listen to over and over a thousand times and never get tired of. It still feels as fresh today as it did when it first came out. Cooly C orchestrated the production with a few session players and Memphis rapper Playa G. From what I heard, Playa G played most of the keys on here. This beat is as smooth as Country Rap Tunes gets folks. The instrumental after the jump. (more…)

BS Vintage Video: Que Bo Gold ft. Polow Da Don & Rasheeda - Lil Buddy
Obviously I didn’t post this song because of how dope it is. Although I am a huge fan of Que Bo Gold, this is definitely not representative of the solid music he would drop years later with Jazze Pha. This is actually a lesson in staying down. Notice the other 2 people in the video? Akon & Polow Da Don. Akon actually produced this song along with the rest of “Red Clay” album. This was also around Jim Crow time, so I’m assuming that’s how Polow got on the record. (more…)

BS Vintage Video: UGK - Take It Off
“Got the V-12 Benz, parked outside, it ain’t enough room to fit dem gulls in my rideeee.” This could very well be the quintessential Country Rap Tunes record.

BS Vintage Video: DJ Toomp Live @ Earwax In ‘94
Watch as he destroys “Planet Rock.” Ahh, the good ol’ days. Back when a DJ was you’re favorite because of his skills and not the artists he associates himself with. Get em Toomp.
