Xzibit was there too, but who cares. I probably mentioned this before, but Lord Finesse is the GOAT pure lyricist and if you don’t agree, you don’t know shit about Hip-Hop.

The Song: In the first single “Killa” from the mysteriously shelved 1994 album Crazy Like a Foxxx, we’re transported back in time to a different era of hip-hop. Bumpy Knuckles and 2Pac’s rawness evoke a New York City where gang violence was at an all time high and many of Bumpy’s friends were in prison. There’s [...]
