“The landlord turn your lieutenant into a tenant/and if your rims spinning/your jaws dented.”
That barely makes sense and it’s the hardest thing since MC Ren. Sorry Mos Def (uh Yitzhak Bey), this is the diametrical opposite of “Niggas in Paris.” I would be cool with hearing it eight times consecutively at the next Black Hippy show. Should you have missed my more covert link yesterday and be curious to read my extended thoughts on a great record, I reviewed Habits & Contradictions for MTV Hive. Should you be too lazy to read 800 words, the summary is that this album takes the stale late-period Aftermath tradition of LA gangsta rap and leaves it in the streets with its shoes and shoelaces missing.
