Kardinal Offishall - I Got Cha Opin' ft. Buckshot
Artist: Kardinal Offishall
Featuring: Buckshot
Producer: Havoc
Album: Smirnoff Signature Mix Series '09
Label: Black Stone Colleagues/GFMGG
In 1993, Brooklyn’s Black Moon released what many consider their breakout single, I Got Cha Opin’. Sixteen years later, their frontman, Buckshot, is one of the most respected names in underground hip-hop. Like Nas, Common, and Q-Tip, the veteran rapper has remixed one of his classics for Smirnoff’s ‘09 Signature Mix Series. This uptempo update sees Buckshot and guest artist Kardinal Offishall foregoing the original’s slow-flowed feel in favor of more energetic rhymes. Mr. Walt’s typical “classic hip-hop” beat is replaced by a darker-tinted instrumental by Havoc (it takes true creativity to use a liquid glass xylophone on a hip-hop beat!) If you happen to have a Green Apple Smirnoff in hand, pour some in your glass and enjoy the hypnotic combination—after sixteen years, Buckshot’s still Got Cha Opin’.

Damn! Nice collabo here! I liked this one a lot, not too much else to say but this was fire. Both came through with a different style and flow, banger.

Unlike the "Funky For U 09" & Nas' "If I ruled the World 09" ... which are on a constant Repeat in my MP3, dont think dis gonna make it there ... I mean its tight but not just for me i guess ... which leaves me a lil disappointed as i was eagerly waitin for this ... especially after dat CLASSIC - Funky for U 09 ...

Liquid glass xylophone LOL! Production is bonkers! I always liked Kardinal but now I like him more just after listening to this track. I like this Kardinal more than "Dangerous + Beautiful" Offishall.

Does anyone bring more energy then KO? He seems to put in 100% on every track he's on. KO & Buckshot meshed together surprisingly well and the beat from Havoc was good

Don't front, you know I got cha opin. I love Black Moon and Buckshot's one of my favorite emcees. This version's not bad, but the original version from 93 is way better.

The production seems weird when it first comes on....i become instantly thrown back. Wow this from Kardinall....this is certainly nothing like any of his last songs. I take it he's taking a new approach with the next album. Overall I'm really not feeling it. I wouldn't want to listen to it again. The production of this song and his flow/lyrics isn't all that bad...just not somethiing i want to hear again.
