or the ever-controversial summation that
"they got money to send troops overseas, but my people stuck on a roof in New Orleans/ Then they program our kids with PSPs, Resident Evil, Grand Theft Vice City/ Government lethal inject us with HIV then only supply the elite few with the vaccine/
With appearances by original State Property members Young Chris, and Freeway including Hip Hop veteran Raekwon, Beanie Sigel definitely has left his footprint in the sand once again. I liked a good number of the songs on here, so be sure to give this mixtape a full listen to add some tracks to your music collection.
3. DMX - The Weigh-In
Serving as a teaser leading up to the debut of his official comeback album, Undisputed dropping on June 26th, The Weigh-In was a good gauge of where the X is at lyrically at this point in his career. The Snoop Dogg assisted, S**t don't change is one of the hottest tracks on the tape; laid to a classic beat from Dr. Dre, the catchy hook goes, "S**t don't change, s**t stay the same...Pop, pop, bang...I'm doin my thang."
Another PEEP-worthy song on the project is On The Frontline featuring Andreena Mills and produced by Rich Kid. X gets personal on this one with words like, "DAMN I went through it again/after telling everybody I wouldn't do it again/ I kinda feel like I let my people down YUP/ but to get them right I gotta pick myself up/
When I heard this beat and hook, I was immediately respectful of its raw content. Arguably one of the best anthem/hype songs writers of our time, he continues this theme, with Wright Or Wrong. X starts out hype off top proclaiming,
"I've been doing this for a minute/ so with or without you Imma get it cuz I'm in it to win it/ Put in work paid my dues, stepped in dirt and changed my shoes/"
Sure to get your blood, this song is definitely something you might want to add to your workout playlist.
