Redefinition is better!

RE: DEFinition, turning your play into a tragedy

Exhibit level degree on the mic, passionately

Niggas is sweet so I bet if I bit I’d get a cavity

Living to get high, you ain’t flyer than gravity

Love this song, love this album. I doubt I’ve gone a month without listening to at least one song from it in the nearly 21  years since it came out.

I definitely had this in heavy rotation in the late 90s early 00s.

Here’s a fun cultural artifact for you. It’s a little funny to see Mos Def being the most high strung of this group. (The actual freestyle is just before 43 mins in this video but the whole conversation is cool.)

I ran into a scenario that made me feel ancient. Some kid drove by blasting Shook Ones from Mobb Deep. I’m like, that song is older than you. I remember when that song came out.

I had no idea how to feel. Is it the same as me listening to Zeppelin in high school? Should I give him a head nod, or shake my fist and say get off my yard? Is classic hip hop a thing, like classic rock? Getting old sucks.
