This beat is better in a way but the gritty dirty Oxymoron version really fit the lyrics and the way Q rapped it
@OmoruyiOmofonmwan5 жыл бұрын
I really like this beat but I agree with you, the beat is too clean and relaxing compared to the lyrics. Yet, Mobb Deep use to rap to shit like this.

exactly. on the album version beat itself sets the hoover street mood. this one is suprisingly uplifting.
@deeproblem8314 ай бұрын
Yeah this sounds more suited for habits and contradictions; the album version fit conceptually with the album and his lifestyle on the Gangsta side of Hoover Street. Habits and contradictions showed the pumpin side and that’s why the soul feel of the album fit perfectly

I prefer this version over the album version but this one has more of a 90's feel. The version on the album has more of a modern sound which is why I would understand holding this one from the album.

Yes. And oddly enough, this beat would fit very well for Blank Face LP which used a lot more live instruments in the production.

This would've been fire as a standalone single(lead song, to prep the path for the lead singles), but this song would've stuck out like a sore thumb on the album that ended up getting released. Hoover Street on the album was pitch perfect.

This is the version I've always loved... not the one that I found on oxymoron, but man this the era I grew up on. Early to mid 2010s was like the early 90s and TDE was the hardest out, followed by Pro Era and the Asap Mobb, Clearsoul Forces if I'm not mistaken, and Nispey Hussle's Crenshaw and Slauson , and a lil bit later, around 2014, the brother Dave East came in shredding ish, as well as Talib Kweli who is already an established legend and my brother Stalley with his phenomenal Ohio album. A year later TPAB, B4DA$$, Forest Hill Drive, ONYX if I'm not mistaken, Rapsody, Asap Rocky, Jay Rock completely shook me. And then Fly Anakin and his Mutant Academy went brazy. Man since I've lived the culture of rappers destroying ish lyrically and our outfits being similar to the 90s, I am not really feeling the new wave and especially the BET Freestyles because I've witnessed the 2000s and the early to mid 10s, and I'm not even 27 yo... 🇿🇦
