“I’m the illest nigga alive, watch me prove it, snatch ya crown with your head still attached to it”
-Canibus

                This is definitely one of the dopest posse cuts. I’m not even gonna put “Who Shot Ya” on here, I’d rather go with this one. I wanted to put Canibus’ whole verse down as the quote, he ripped it. You gotta excuse the quality of the video, I wanted to have the version with Canibus and Master P. Canibus original verse is ill, I wouldn’t take it as a diss to LL though, I don’t know why surgery boy got offended. I’m glad he did though, cuz “G.O.A.T” was an ill cd, if it wasn’t for Canibus, I wouldn’t own any LL cds. Did they really have to throw Master P on this track? He wasn’t that bad, but man, they could’ve put Keith Murray or someone hella dope instead…either way it goes, this is dope. Too bad the album it was on was trash.

5 boroughs(Krs-1, Buckshot, Keith Murray, Cam’ron, Killah Priest, Prodigy,Redman, Rev Run, and a couple unknowns)

                No quote on this one. This one isn’t really that tight. I think the whole reason I even put this up was so I could type “Rev. Run”. Cam’ron giving us a glimpse at his future (garbage). People used to try and say dude used to be tight….when? WTF did Keith Murray spell????C,I,L,I,F,L,Y….WTF. This track was a major let down. It was only put on for comedic purposes.

Playa Why Ya Hating (Tear Da Club Up Thugs, Cash Money Millionaires)

                No quote once again, so you know what that means. The video concept is cool, but the lyrics and beat definitely didn’t bring it. I like 36’s production, but this beat is whack. I’m not one of the many people throwing shots at Wayne, but right here was no where near Carter II status. How does he have a mixtape coming out with Game called “Blood Brothers” but then he’s rocking a blue rag at the end of the video? Is Baby rapping or talking to the camera man? Let me stop, I’m supposed to be showing love…

Watch for The Hook (Outkast, Goodie Mob, Cool Breeze)

“Tryna kill 4 birds, with about 15 stones”
-Cool Breeze

                I had to put this one up for Meka. I think (I don’t really remember, weed kills brain cells) he said this was one of the shit songs he liked. I don’t really think it’s shit, I mean, I can’t understand Khujo, but I understand MOST of the song, and most of them brought it. They should have let Andre 3000 get a longer verse. This cat Cool Breeze brought some real talk on this song, but I never heard of him ever again. The track is dope, too bad the dungeon family couldn’t bring it like this on their album.

Big Business (Ron Isley, Baby, Jadakiss, Cassidy, Snoop)

“I got a large house, a dog house in my backyard, and even my dog house got a backyard”
-Cassidy

 

                This is a not as old as the other videos (not new, but post Jay Z-Nas Battle) track. Note to rappers, don’t ever get on a track with Cassidy about boasting. Not like dude can’t rap about other shit, but come on, that’s like someone back in the day getting on a punchline only track with Big L. What the hell is “Ballin like a dog?” Sorry, I wish I could stop talking shit about Baby, but he somehow made it onto two Posse cuts on this blog. What was up with him and Eve back then? He was in her video, then he was on her in this one, I guess ole girl is just about money. The more I think about it though, I don’t know who came off better, Kiss or Cassidy? I’ll leave that up to ya’ll.

 

Banned from T.V. (Nature, Big Punisher, Cam’ron, Jadakiss and Styles, Noreaga)

“Regardless of Rain or Snow, sleet or hail, I kick street tales, choking niggas like I’m Sprewell”
-Nature

 

          I guess Cam was O.K. here. Nature brought it though. Whatever happened to nature? I liked that “For All Seasons” CD. Big Pun did his thing, and of course you had the JadaStyles tandem. This was hella dope. Noreaga CD was ok, but this song got all the play. I rarely seen this video. As a matter of fact, I just thought to search it at the last minute.

                I’m gonna leave it at that. I’m not gonna go too far back on ya’ll and bring “Buddy” or “Scenario”….but then again. I’m gonna end this with one old school track. If it wasn’t for this song, there’d be no posse cuts. One of the oldest, and definitely one of the dopest, the original Juice Crew….They Symphony

 

 

You can hit me at my MySpace page here, until next time, PEACE!!!

 

Edit:

I listen to the peoples. So since ya'll asked for it, I got the WW3 video. I wasn't really a big fan of the song, and definately not the video, it sort of looks corny. To me the whole RR3 cd was pretty corny, This was off vol.3 right? I'm sorry, I don't remember. I liked RR vol.1. It leaked like 3 months before it came out (I was one of the original pirates)I had my whole high school walking around going"Jigga...what's my muthfuckin name". I didn't really like Vol. 2 that much.  Also, I seen the comment about the best R&B Hip Hop collabo's, if you want to vote on that, send me your top 10 to my MySpace. Everyone send me a list of they're top 10 period, and then I'll make a top 5 list for ones without videos, and ones with videos. If someone says Nas and Ginuwine, I'm sorry, that song won't be included, I hate it TOOOOO Much. SO yea, send ya list to that myspace I listed, and I'll add them up, I'll probably do that blog Monday. If anyone has blog ideas, hit that MySpace up too, I'm taking requests. So here it goes....WW3
