Zilla Rocca ft. Reef The Lost Cauze & Nico the Beast-”Get That Gun”
Ginsu’ing a sample from The Parson Redheads’ “Full Moon,” Zilla Rocca enlists Philly underground kingpin Reef The Lost Cauze and fellow Clean Gun, Nico the Beast, to create the sort of posse cut that explains why Beat Garden and the entire Philly scene deserve more press than the dozen or so music blogs that continually champion them. All three rappers deliver impressively but Nico might steal the show by declaring “I’ll stomp your face like the Power Pad,” therein making him the front-runner for the annual MF Doom Award for Great Punchlines That Somehow No One Thought of Before. I’m posting The Parson Redheads’ source sample below, if you don’t have it by now you should.
Also, since I’m on the topic, this Clap Cowards post on the Wayne-A-Tron 8000 deserved to blow up more than it did. That is all.

This is completely unrelated to the post at hand, but I wanted to comment quickly on a point you made in your review on “Untitled” in the LA Times. You wrote this: ‘As for the album’s muddled political core, it’s best exemplified on “Farrakhan,” where in one breath Nas claims that he’s a “revolutionary” while in the next he claims he’s the “king of bling, jewels and Bentleys.” ‘
If you go back and listen to the line, he actually says that OTHERS will tarnish his legacy as a “revolutionary” (once he dies?) by labeling him the “king of bling, jewels and Bentleys.” That is why he immediately says afterward that then “they’ll use one of my lines to prove I’m guilty.” So yeah, I really didn’t find any contradictions made by Nas in the album, but to each his own.
