Holler if you hear me original cdq appreciaton thread

[Mr Matt]

Whats up, I've been away for a while but enough is going on with the scene to re-ignite my interest. I'm now looking at completing Live-squad.com, keep checking for updates...

Right, about this track. We always had the instrumental from that Sprite vinyl so I knew there was a lot of layers missing from that previous leak but Banksy how did you not notice that Maj's verse is a different take?? I know this track like the back of my hand from hours trying to decipher the lyrics so I knew straight away that Maj sounded completely different.

Anyone who listens to Maj's recent material will know how his voice and style has changed since the 2Pac era. Before he was kinda deep and rough like Stretch, as he sounds in the first leak. More recently he sounds more dynamic like he does in this leak.

Check the differences in the lyrics, I'm gonna call leak 1 the crappy quality version that Dante leaked, and leak 2 this CDQ version:


leak 1: but I chopped his ass up and sent his mama his God damn legs
leak 2: but I chopped him up and sent his mama his legs

leak 1: that's how it is where I'm from, if you don't know the time
leak 2: that's how it is when I roll, if you don't know the time

leak 1: Til another nigga puts me down below.
leak 2: Til another chump lucks up and puts me down below.

Also the accent and flow is different throughout his whole verse.

So what the fuck?? Where did leak 2 come from cuz this could be the same story as Big Time where Maj and updated his verse on an older track....

hey what's up guys... don't know if you remember me but i used to post on SH till about a year or so ago... i heard word of some crazy ass leaks going around and i had to come back to check it out... especially when i heard that this track was one of them! i've been waiting on this one to leak in CDQ for years, and all i can say is WOW! although Banky, i don't know about best song ever... but it's dope as hell!

Yeshua, some corrections on those lyrics...

I got a 9-thang ready to go bang-bang
on the first crooked cop that even comes near me
i beg your pardon, call the guards in, Chief Gates
can't wait to see your face better move to another state
Boom-boom rebelistic, slugs are realistic
the 12-guage 'll leave you twisted
the Government is gettin' shadier
and therefore, niggaz gettin' crazier, huh
and 5-0 can't fade the have-nots
shoulda learned when them OG's trashed Watts
move on, move on, move on
still wicked like to kick it and get my groove on
and you can say no to drugs, but you can't say no to the thugs with slugs
tell the President it's evident he's lost
wouldn't know a gangbanger from a fucking horse
rather read The Source
flip through rap pages, black pages, speakin' on black rages
we don't even know the scoop
and the truth is the troops can't hold the youth, yup
send 'em down with they tanks in
AK47 what the fuck you niggaz drinking?
now tell me what ya thinking ...
you can roll through the hood and not get a spanking
niggaz got they strap on
when they pop a cap it ain't never black on black
and watch the way they shoot
and are careful when they loot, check the field and you'll find proof
black business stand till the end
proved the nigga one time won't work again
lets get along with the mexicans
and we can all have peace on the sets again, huh
and i love it when they fear me
if i'm spittin' to you clearly
nigga holla if ya hear me

(2pac: 2nd verse)

to the Preacher in the pulpit peep it
if you gonna preach about turn the other cheek you can keep it
in '92 niggaz don't need it
they beatin' brothaz in the street and you talking 'bout peace
now ain't that some fly shit
just sit be quiet wait to die quick
listen to ya'll we lost Malcolm an anthem
instead of an army we was marching and chanting 'we shall over-come'
but we can't do shit with a rock and a stick
niggaz better learn to shoot a fucking gun, huh
and i done heard of enough of
the racist bitch ass judge and the white trucker
he shoulda kept his mouth on shut
wanted to kick dust till some niggaz rolled his ass up
and when i see the first full moon
i'm comin' after Koon, watch a nigga go Boom-boom!
then i want Briseno
two to the head now he's headed out to Reno
and stuff Powell in the trunk let 'em ride
tie 'em up, make him watch his friend Wind die
young guns nigga better fear me
mother fuck the cops
ya better holla if ya hear me

the names (Koon, Briseno, Powell, Wind) refer to the 4 cops who beat Rodney King, and the song is about the 92 riots in general... anyway, thanks for the link, and all the other crazy leaks, i love em all!!!

Close but still a couple of errors.

I think I got most of it before, check here...
