I was 16 when this came out. And my buddy and I went and stood in line to get this. Hands down this track has been in heavy rotation ever since and I'm 43 this year. This will always something I'll listen to. Songs and albums like this remind you where you were and what you were doing. Love it.
I first heard this masterpiece 18-19 years old on a Swedish public radio show called “P3 Soul” and I was hooked AF! This was way back in the days long before Shazam, so I went to every record store in town trying to dig for the album, even tried to hum and rap the lyrics for the staff laughing like hell. One dude lead me to Buju Banton and that was it. It took me 12 years to finally find out the tune was someway related the an east coast crew called Boot Camp Clik, and then finally found Smif n Wessun. Shoutout to Mats Nileskar at P3 (when the damn Swedish radio still got the vibe)
belongs in a dark corner with 'cradle to the grave' and 'livin proof'. love that da beatminerz even tuned the wind ambience in the background to the hook. most underrated hip-hop producers of all time, in my humble opinion
@@Ebircs570 exactly all the extra verses threw me for a loop I I used to hate when lp versions differed from the cd edits I heard that version as a kid though I never really listened to that one.
@@musiclover-cn7tb They literally rap on a different beat in the video. (I'm not talking about the production im talking about the timing with the drum beat) that shit is hella confusing
@@kernoleary1394 the video version is WAY better imo. It's funny how a little tweak like timing of the drum beat changed the original from being 'meh' to GENIUS GOAT-LEVEL hip hop song. Makes you wonder about other missed opportunities in hip hop. The video is the best version of this record by far. Better beat, better chorus, better Starang verse.

But they took the L in New Orleans when they went to battle The Boot Camp Clique down there that eventually became No Limit Records. (Yes there were 2 Boot Camp Cliques in Hip Hop at one point) Rock mentions the fight on one track but I can’t remember it at the moment.

Clean up your walk and come to the lights. Sucker, you are dead, stuck from morning and always evening ‘til everything’s dead”
lol. I strongly disagree. But, that’s probably because I was listening to the original/unedited version long before they made a radio/video edit. The rawness of this song is what makes it so hot
Still vibing to this since day 1… who’s here with me in 2024? 💯🔥🔥🫡☝️

Boom bye bye in a batty bwoy head
The shottie fly, now the batty guy lie dead
Two shots dead to him chin. Enemy or friend
Fake the funk, I put the junk to an end
Now who the rude bwoy wan’ come test Dog?
I find his family to I.D. him in the morgue
I bet you never thought I bust lead-surprise!
I’m a fortified blunt head just like me dread
Ayra Starr 'Rush' (Live Performance) | Open Mic
[Verse 2: Tek]
You try test
The champion sound, you getting bucked down
Recognize the Boot Camp Clik out of Bucktown
Gun-thirsty little bastard, always blasted
From the sacks of chocolate off Mother Gaston
You say you number one wicked selector
I say you punnany and I’ll wet ya
Keep the bull ‘fore I pull this here trigger
‘Cause you don’t wanna test me when I’m tipsy off the liquor like the punk
They called McGirt. Got his feelings hurt
Showed his true colors, had to yank up his skirt. Now he’s
In misery, trying to cop a plea
Lead to him head from Gunn Clappa Numba Three, see
Lick off a shot, you no dick-rider
Lick a shot, punnany, not gunfire
[Verse 3: Steele]
Now
Everybody wanna be Don Gorgon. All around
New York, niggas be talking, but we be stalking
In the dark’s when the gun starts barking
But in the day, be wary of where you be walking
[Interlude 1: Sample from Gregory Isaacs - “Ruler For the Dance”]
“Don’t! Don’t! Don’t you ever mention ‘bout you wan’ test the champion sound! Leave it to the people rough kind! You know that we’re kind to people. Them come-a, we never fall far. Leave!”
[Verse 4: Steele]
Me nah
Sex, me rough like the wicked youth in me
That motherfucker that be bugging off of truth he see
Original criminal running town
Crime pays-that’s what I practice, so act if
You wan’ get blasted by my nine shot
Come around my block, find a nice spot in a pine box
Murderer, batty bwoy killer
Colin Powell feeler, we ‘bout to get iller
[Verse 5: Tek]
Sound bwoy, you got ‘nough reason to worry
Coming with my troops, we about to bury
Better pack your dubs and move in a hurry
Ease off, seen?
Looking at my pager, it’s about that time
To load up the nine and do my daily crime
Warriors, conquerors, the man before ya
Mr. Rippa AKA the enemy killer
My man with the weed is my man indeed, and all you
Sucky-ducky niggas catch knots with speed
[Interlude 2: Sample from Gregory Peck - “False Sound”]
“Talking ‘bout you have sound?!? And my sound you wan’ test?!? You’ll never know that, when it come to championship, it’s we that of the management that current spasmic on you, the fake-funking crew! Leave!”
[Verse 6: Tek]
Lord, some bwoy gwan get dead tonight, duke
As I retrieve the two-five from my Timb boots
Target ‘pon sight, trigger ‘pon cock
Adjust your pupils to see a dead bwoy walk
‘Nough pussyhole gwan die this year
Here comes the Boot Camp sliding to the rear
[Verse 7: Starang Wondah]
Starang coming like a hurricane licking shots
More untouchable than niggas with the chickenpox
So emcees get lifted when I’m spliffted
Nigga, guard your grill ‘cause Louieville packs the biscuit
In the session, Smif-N-Wessun, O.G.C
Gunn Clappa Numba One with my nigga D-O-G
[Verse 8: Steele]
We bring
The realness. Feel this boom as Black Moon
Reveal this. We come to let you know what the deal is
Straight up, we serve justice, so if
You can’t be trusted, may you return where the dust is
[Outro: Sample from King Everald - “Send Fi the King”]
“There is many sound that’s going around and going around, going like a clown, but I’m telling you. Clean up your walk and come to the lights. Sucker, you are dead, stuck from morning and always evening ‘til everything’s dead”

Imagine Kodak or them on this beat with a bit of a twist. Owee
The radio version is better than the album version
