Everyone’s favorite West Coast smoker not named Snoop Dogg has linked up with Young B to share a Laugh with DJBooth. Holding the mic in the spotlight is Cypress Hill’s B-Real, who hips listeners to his cred after going unheard from since his ‘90s classics How I Could Just Kill A Man and Insane in the Brain. Producer Scoop DeVille samples Suzanne Vega’s classic, Tom’s Diner, adding heavy piano stabs, as B-Real and Young B give listeners a taste of life in California that could also double as background music for an issue of “High Times.” At the top of the year, Real hopes to break conventional perception with his next solo disc, Smoke ‘N Mirrors, slated for a January 27 release. If he keeps this up, it’ll be more smoke than mirrors that’ll get hip-hop heads racing to cop his album.
This is west coast music homie. No doubt about it. B Real is one of our legends. This is a good track for him. Not too strong, but deffinatly a piece to potentially bangin album.
Scoop's production is hot. Everybody jocking the "Tom's Diner" sample. I have a hotter song to this sample...lol. (It will surface soon). This is hot though. I'm really liking the vibe. I hope he got it cleared though, cuz Suzzane Vega will sue you quick. I just upload it to my MySpace and in a split second, they sent me copyright infringement papers...lol. This is straight though. I like the swaggerific west coast vibe.
This sample never gets old, eh? B Real was one of my favorite rappers growing up and his skills have certainly not diminished. Looking forward to Smoke N Mirrors.
Not a bad song, they sing good and the beat is ok, but I'm honestly tired of hearing this sample...I have a song in my mp3 player with this sample and I put in 2 months ago during the summertime. One is ok, two is too much!
