Sheek Louch - This Is Hip-Hop
Artist: Sheek Louch
Featuring: Joell Ortiz , Termanology
Producer: Scram Jones
Album: Donny Def Jam Mixtape
Label: D-Block/Def Jam
Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once famously said about pornography that he couldn’t define it, but he knows it when he sees it. Similarly, in today’s wide-ranging rap field it’s nearly impossible to define hip-hop, but I know it when I hear it, and this new Sheek Louch song? Now This Is Hip-Hop. For his new mixtape leak the LOX founding father recruits producer Scram Jones to do what he does best, craft a gritty street banger, and Scram responds with a pounding beat that Sheek lyrically pounds into submission with a hip-hop culture reference rich verse. Also joining the fray are Boston representative and Statik Selektah running partner Termanology and Slaughterhouse alum Joell Ortiz, who once again proves he’s simply one of the best emcees working today with some dirtier than usual bars. Call this one whatever you want, just be sure you call it hip-hop. For more fearlessly uncompromised hip-hop, be sure to cop the recently-signed-to-Def Jam Sheek Louch’s aptly-named mixtape Donny Def Jam Mixtape, due out soon.

I agree with Nathan 100%. A record like this is the epitome of hip hop and the foundation is was built on. I'm a fan. Now comes the famous "Who had the best verse" argument. I am taking Sheek, but only because in a chance encounter he scares me the most (kidding).

The beat is sick almost reminiscent of a west coast track. I wasn't a fan of Joell's verse but Sheek and Term did their thing. Can't wait for a Statik remix lol 3.5 stars but rounding down because of Joell

Might as well jump right in on the argument Z proposed. While I agree that every emcee here delivered admirably, I have to hand it to Sheek as well. Not only was his flow on point, but he nailed the topic of the track. Big props on this one.

This is real hip hop but Joell’s verse was poor by his high standards.
