The Deuce

When I walked into a supermarket the other night Prince’s pre-millenium party anthem was playing and I took it as a sign of divine inspiration from the cosmos that I should make a post about two 1999 Rap songs which are personal classic choonz. I’m a artist not an entertainer, my brain is a receiver not a generator!

Problem Child – When She Hears This Tape
(From The Khayree Sessions Volume 1 compilation; 1999)


As a Khayree protégé who liked to talk supreme shit about the fairer sex, Problem Child was like The Mac reincarnated. I’ve only heard snippets from Problem Child’s one and only album, but it doesn’t sound like there’s anything on there which mollywhops as hard as this song. Soak Some Dope levels of Vallejo molasses mob music.

Missin’ Linx – What It Is
(From Exhibit A EP; 1999)


The second Missin’ Linx track with Necro behind the boards also happens to be the only Necro production you can hum along to. Sometimes all you need is some New York M.C shit over a beat which has you playing air-bass like you’re the fella from Level 42. Shit is off the Rick James and me & this song go back like dookie thick chains.
