Unskippable Songs: The Beatnuts-”Do You Believe”
In what’s certain to be yet another in a string of half-baked ideas that fizzle out after one post, Unskippable Songs is dedicated to the songs that you can’t skip whenever they randomly come on shuffle. Last night, while waiting in line at the completely middling Hangover (Zack G. was great, but sorry, a movie built on a sub-Apatow foundation of ass jokes and inane “Chopsticks and Flied Lice” Asian stereotypes, does not a classic make), The Beatnuts’ ode to hail mary prayer gladly blocked out the din of hipsters using the phrase “mise en scene” with a straight face.
Ju-Ju is high on the list of most criminally unsung beatmakers. I mean, he did lace Starks with “One.” Also, The Lakers. This is the most civic pride I’ve felt since Mark Madsen invented jerkin.’

Ju Ju produced “One”? .. That beat is a killer.
I haven’t listened to the ‘Nuts in a while. “Watch Out Now” is an unskippable IMO. Nice new series here.

Juju and Rza suposedly had producer beef over One. Apparently Juju wasn’t happy about the mix that got used for the album (Rza engineered all of Supreme Clientele, something I wish he’d do more often considering it can’t possibly be as time consuming as crafting a whole record)

You can’t disrespect Hangover like that.
