Protect Your Neck

12 inch single cover. I’m assuming the book is a tome of martial arts techniques or lessons. The Wu-Tang dagger at the bottom is for “code red, danger”. This song does an excellent job of highlighting the Wu-Tang clan member’s individual styles without losing the sense of a continuous piece of music. Every rapper has their part and none seems bigger than the other and none seems excessive or unnecessary. It’s a complex, original and dynamic piece of music. Priceless. When was the last time you heard somene mention Tevin Campbell? This song has a coda, after fight for the mic, there’s more music. That’s called a coda. This song is more than good, it’s brilliant. It’s blinding. God damn! How they do that?

Feel So Good

There is a little of Miami Sound Machine’s “Bad Boys”, but the hook is Kool and The Gang’s “Hollywood Swinging”. Ma$e was the first of the hat pulled down low, eyes half open rapper who said, “I don’t know know where all this money and all these girls came from. I just got it like that, that’s how it is, you can ask Giz”. Ma$e showed what we all would do. Watch this video. See him riding around in cars, throwing money out of windows, hotties rolling up on him, whatever. Another day being young and rich. Years before Pacman Jones tried the same trick at a strip club in Vegas. Actually, the video for “Feel so Good” was shot in Vegas. It takes an artist to see the future. That’s for all of you who don’t understand why this song has a meaning. It’s not just a song, it’s a video that changed hip-hop. That showed people what to do when you get yours, make that money. Throw it on the street, go ahead, do it, get girls, and don’t care about anything. It’s the one question everyone in America wants to have on their minds, what the hell are we going do with all this money?
