Camp Lo - Luchini (This is it) VS Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz - Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)

Camp Lo, actually put that on on New Year's Eve as I drank my first beer to get myself hyped up.

Luchini, no contest.

Always dissappointed that Deja Vu didn't make better use of Black Cow sample.

Luchini bettered the Dynasty sample (and that's saying a lot as I LOVE that Dynasty song).

LUCHINI

Always loved "Deja Vu", but this ain't even a thing.

I never noticed before how Deja Vu didn't even beef up the Steely Dan drums at all. It is kind of a weak use of a great sample.

Luchini in any case. Deja Vu has a good hook but lyrically it kind of sux imho.

Also Luchini brings back very specific memories of getting schooled on hip-hop by high school friends. And Camp Lo had a pretty original, non-generic flow that still sounds refreshing.

well im kinda glad my initial impression of each track's relative popularity seems to have been so wildly off base. lyrically camp lo definitely reigns supreme -- 'we float the tri state draped in the satin vines/the coolie high jack pack from the sugar shack' vs 'i guarantee you peter/knows how to eat her/ and beat her'

plus they look about 19 in the video, and like they can't quite believe they're in the midst of having a hit single

luchini. and the album was awesome too.

Cassanova brown, levitatin' jiggy in dashikis
In la hotta Car 54 chasin' diamond runners
Headin' icebound, every chilla diamond convention
Harlem buck strut, freezin' world heist Hollywood
Madame Butterfly let me in your house of pleasure
From the knuckle swat shadowboxers catchin' black-eye blues

yeah the Dan sample is cool and all but i gotta go with "Luchini"

For these feral herds of seas of black cheese that I can't missa
Silky Days, satin nights taken flights down
We sensation spanish flyin with the lady Scarface
Bottoms up sunshine.. Love Potion Number 9

damn, forgot how good Luchini is.

XD XD XD @ hurting

not even close. deja vu.

luchini

the rapping on Deja Vu is so goddamn limp and lifeless. Luchini by a country mile.

luchini prob holds the longevity record for song that has never completely left my extended party down elite 100 rotation. and yeah, agree that the whole album is class.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

(first few seconds)

I can't believe I didn't post this right away

OMG SIMS Cooley High OMG SIMS

lumdi is awesome... that smokey robinson sample is so cool.

I never realized the Luchini sample was so direct -- it sounds so broken up and sped up/slowed down that I assumed it had been much more fucked with.
