B.I.G - Juicy
Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me

me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughters,
and all the peoples in the struggle, you know what I'm sayin'?

Slava - Girl Like Me
The video definitely makes an impression that will colour your memory of this track.
Feds Watching - 2 Chainz ft. Pharrell Williams
Gonna quote Jayson Greene's review on this one : To hear Pharrell tell it, he and 2 Chainz banged out "Feds Watching" in a few delirious hours while still sporting their post-Grammys tuxedos. In that interview, he paints a hilariously evocative picture of 2 Chainz busily tapping out his verses on a phone while the beat plays, glancing up occasionally only to holler an ad-lib. This is the 2 Chainz approach, epitomized: He works hard, fast, and sloppy. He does not sweat precision. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take, and a 2 Chainz verse is like a Nate Robinson/J.R. Smith one-on-one game.
On "Feds Watching", 2 Chainz says things like "I'm known to kick it like the captain of the soccer team" and "Money on the rise, like I'm counting on an elevator," continuing his reign as the worst writer to morph into an amazing rapper in five years. Pharrell pairs the squinty-bright synthesizers he loves with hard, menacing drums. It's gaudy, emphatic, elbows-out, and indelibly catchy: It's 2 Chainz in beat form.

The Police - So Wonly
Hey. He may have lost his geordie accent here, and so called cod-reggae may not be the coolest thing. but if I was an ex school teacher from Newcastle having this much fun, then.. you know what? f u? Pop music was better. Three old dudes, some cheap sunglasses and some bleach make for a good time down saath in London town.
Geordie Tribute - Money for Nothing - Dire Straits & Sting
Here's the start of a few tributes to some geordie lads and lasses who made it, unlike me.. and the rest of us.. These guys didn't care about cool. they just wanted to play their music, and maybe sell some records.. Obviously these were the first hipsters, WAY before it was cool.
